To make a long story short, I got some cameras (mostly IP5M-T1277EB-AI), and I'm in a weird situation. I want to have them stream TO my Blue Iris server. I say to because these cameras are mounted to a vehicle, and the local network uplinks through various connections (home WiFi, office WiFi, hotspot, etc.). Obviously, I can not port forward on these networks, but by using RTMP (to my understanding) I would only have to port forward where the stream is being received (the network with the BI server).
Being these are vehicle mounted, reencoding through OBS on a computer is not an option, power is limited.
How would I properly get RTMP working? I played around very much with the settings inside the camera, however BI, VLC, and some RTMP testing program I found can not receive the video. I verified the IPs are correct, did port forwarding (and tried from within the same network), tried with and without encryption, opened the firewall, etc. In the normal setup (in the vehicle network), I can see the router eating more bandwidth once I enable RTMP, but nonmatter what system I point it to it does not receive the RTMP stream from the camera and I wonder if I'm just really screwing this up or not lol.
Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.
And my end goal is to (for example) leave the vehicle in a public parking lot like an airport and still be able to see that things are alright from the Blue Iris server, which would require me uplinking the router to public WiFi but I got that part all sorted out already (using TPLinks and running OpenWRT with Travelmate).
