How can I connect from my Synology to a wired camera when they are in different networks?

I have two wired devices on my KPN modem.

  1. is a wired camera . IP 192.168.2.x
  2. one is a TPlink wifi 6 router  192.168.2.y

both are reserved IPs on the KPN DHCP

 

the tp link serves as its own  DHCP server (192.168.0.xxx) and on this all my IoT devices are connected including my synology, with all the port  forwarding rules , reserved IPs etc.

I want to connect from synology to the camera A but since they are in different networks , I can connect from Synology

what do i need to do in order to make this camera known to my TPlink router?

 

in essense I want to create the red path and feed my synology with the sec camera

Thank you all for your replies.

I have achieved the desired outcome ; my Synology now pulls video feeds from the webcam with no problem ans stored the dta on the 192.168.0.x subnetwork.

 

I had to do port forwarding in the KPN modem of the reserved static 192.168.2.x IP

Hi ​@KiloMeater . Welcome to the KPN Community.

Thank you for your detailed question! Unfortunately, this scenario involves network setups and configurations that fall outside the standard scope of moderator support. However, this is a great topic for our community to dive into. There are many experienced users here who might be able to share tips and tricks for bridging networks and making devices communicate across subnets.

@Marlon92 Heb jij hier misschien ideeën over?

For the TP-Link router, the 192.168.2.x network of the KPN box is a little wide-area network, so you can reach e.g. the web interface of the camera from the synology just by it’s IP address 192.168.2.110.

The other way around, if the camera wants to send into the Synology, you have to run on the Synology a program which is able to accept the data, and setup port forwarding on the TPlink router. The IP address on the camera to reach the Synology is the 192.168.2.x address of the TPlink router, not the Synology itself.

For example, if the Synology runs a SMB server, you can setup a port forward for port 445/tcp to the Synology address, if supported limited to source address 192.168.2.110.

The red line on the picture could only be accomplished by a physical link, like connecting the camera to the TPLink WiFi, or a virtual link like a VPN or IP-tunnel, but I do not think the camera has software tools to set this up.
