Unicast UDP device IP routing

General Discussion

Looking for a bit of help or advice. We have a isolated network away from our main office network on a LTE connection. On that network we have a camera device that streams video, and can be controlled over the network via UDP, it is setup to be Unicast. So we have to put in the IP address of the endpoint.

As an example, that camera is 192.168.1.203, the computer on that network that we could link to it is 192.168.1.5, so we put that address in the .203 device, and open its control app on .5 and all is good.

But now, we have the computers on this remote network on a zerotier network, and a remote computer in our office on this network too, and i want this office computer to now be the one controlling, getting a feed from the camera on the remote network. The zerotier network is (for example) 192.168.192.xxx. I tried putting in the office computers zerotier IP address for the cameras UDP endpoint, but it didnt work.

The camera on the remote network has its own processor/firmware/browser setup, and isnt connected to a computer, to it is a network device. So i suspect it is something to do with this device doesnt even know the zerotier network exists? Possibly we need to forward UDP traffic from it via one of the Zerotier installs on the remote network (there are two available computers with zerotier on that network.

However, networking is not my forte! So any helps/guides/examples of how to achieve this would be great.

Anyone? Slight edit though, the other end is now starlink instead of the teltonika router.

In a nutsehll, conputers either side with zerotier on, all soeak to each other fine. However device on one side is a network device without the ability to install zerotier. And is a unicast UDP device, that needs to be on same subnet as a computer on ther other network, to be able to use its software there.

So is there an additional zerotier routing node i could install? Some bridging settings? I think somewhere else sombody suggested layer 2 bridge…

The two best solutions are:

  1. Forward a port from the ZeroTier node at the remote site to the camera. This is super easy for unicast streaming configurations, even if the ZeroTier node is Microsoft Windows.

  2. Install ZeroTier on the default gateway at the remote site and route between networks.

You probably didn’t get an answer from anybody else because your writing style is imprecise and there are several other “I want to use a surveillance camera through ZeroTier” posts in this forum.
