Remote Camera Monitoring

by ohm.paul . Updated 16 years, 3 months ago

Currently, we have multiple cameras set up at multiple store locations. They are GeoVision cameras connected to PCs with Geovision DVR Cards. Right now, the cameras simply record the feed to the local computer.

What I would like to do is be able to monitor that video feed remotely, from our central office. The GeoVision software comes with the ability to set up a webcam server, which would be perfect for our situation. However, the problem is that many of our locations are located inside other stores, such as malls. Therefore, we are unable to open particular ports to allow the webcam server to serve the video.

Is there any conceivable way that we could accomplish this task without forwarding any ports? Perhaps, could it work something like GoToMyPC or LogMeIn where the feed is sent somewhere, and I can “meet it in the middle” between the store location and remote viewing location?

All systems are running XP Pro.

Any ideas are helpful.

Thanks,
Paul
