Hi @the_jazz 

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

Add it to the NVR instead of binding it as an individual device. Once it is bound to the NVR, you manage it from the NVR. That's how you achieve what you expect. They'll be managed under the same NVR but you can create different groups.

What Ports Do VIGI Use?

  @Clive_A Hi and thank you for your fast answer.

How do I exactly achieve adding it to the nvr? I repeat, the camera is located behind a different router.

I add manually from the nvr management page? I'd like this, shouldn't I open ports on the site where the camera is installed instead of the site where the nvr is installed?

 

Please, a little guidance will be highly appreciated.

This is a basic port forwarding setup. A typical server setup.

The discovery, if they are in the same LAN, is based on the port and same range of IP(subnet).

It is just placed in a different network but the ports are the same.

So, you should expose the ports of the camera to the public IP address and let the camera join(connect) to the service and upload their videos and streams to the NVR. NVR can stay behind the NAT if you add the cameras manually. As you can see the camera IP address and ports should be available on the WAN.

I can show you a brief guide but this skill is required if you want to further process this project. Or you gotta ask so many questions because it involves so much knowledge. Nor can you maintain it.

For the NVR.
