Есть такая схема сети: https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_kxNQdG4=/
Дублирую скрином, если по ссылке не откроется вдруг:


К ней такие вопросы:

1) На Server pc хотят просматривать информацию с camera 1, 2, 3. Есть ли сейчас такая возможность? Если нет, то какую диагностику можно провести и какие исправления в системе необходимо сделать. Дать минимум 3 варианта.

2) Компьютер Client PC тоже хочет получать видеоинформацию с camera 1,2,3. Как можно это организовать?

3) Возможно ли подключить к Server PC camera 4? Как именно?

I would really appreciate if someone could help me with my questions. I tried to simulate the network from the link above in the Cisco Packet Tracer program, but something did not work.

Answer 1

If you don't understand, stay away from this company.
And then you will always write questions on Habré.
In general, setting up subnets and port forwarding.

Answer 2

write answers
to at least 1

Answer 3

You must first have a VPN in order to enter a particular subnet. IP cameras I suppose come through the browser?

Answer 4

1) On the Server pc they want to view information from camera 1, 2, 3. Is there such an opportunity now? If not, what diagnostics can be carried out and what corrections should be made in the system. Give at least 3 options.
a) camera 2 and 3 will not be seen, the subnets are different. Banal ping will show it.
b) drive cameras 2 and 3 to the same subnet with camera 1 and server 192.168.1.0/24
c) change the subnet mask to 192.168.0.0/16
2) Client PC also wants to receive video information from camera 1,2,3. How can this be organized?
a) Port forwarding on the router
3) Is it possible to connect a Server PC camera 4? How exactly?
a) raise vpn between home and office router

Answer 5

You need to stomp on what kind of cameras and what kind of server. Do you need to record or just view? Now almost all cameras have the ability to work through the cloud - you register an account, provide Internet to all four cameras, connect them to your account. Next, either you give the login and password from the account to interested parties and let them watch, or let them also create accounts in the same cloud, and you share cameras from your account to them.
