I have installed a surveillance system for a customer and now they would like to be able to stream one of the cameras to their website so anyone can log on to the website and see the camera image. It is an IP camera and the website is hosted offsite. I'm having trouble understanding how I should get the camera networked to be able to do this. Currently the camera is connected to a DVR but I can assign an IP and connect it directly to the LAN. How does the Webmaster get the camera to appear on the site? Do they use the public IP assigned by the ISP and then I try to port forward to get to the camera? I'm pretty lost on this one so any suggestions or links to procedures would be greatly appreciated.
