Hi,
I have a feed running from a Win machine at home, and I would like to add a second feed from a relative's home, using a Pi3. I've tried searching the forum, but couldn't find exactly what I needed, so hopefully you can help me.
First, the easy question - I understand that Pi3 has all the connectivity I need on the board itself, so if I'm planning to connect it via LAN cable, all I would need to buy is:
Pi3+Case+Power Supply, and additionally I would need a memory card, and video + LAN cable, correct?
Is there anything else should by with the Pi3 itself?
Now here's the tricky part... At home I'm running VRS and logging all of the data I'm receiving. I would like to be able to get all of the data from the remote location into my home VRS as well, but I'm facing two issues.
The first, since both the home and remote locations don't have a permanent IP, how do I solve this? I know there are paid options that can be very expensive. Since this is only a hobby and not a business, I don't think I would be willing to go down that path of monthly payments.
Once I cross that hurdle, what should I install on the Pi to enable pushing the data? I know VRS has a Linux version, but it relies on Mono, and according to the VRS website, it's not very stable.
I know there is also ModeSDeco2, but I see it has a Pi2 version, which I don't know if it would run on Pi3 (I assume it would).
Lastly, once I set up everything at the remote location, I would need to maintain it. I assume this could be done via VNC or TeamViewer, or something similar?
In any case, all of the above should also take into account that I don't want a huge security hole in both networks. I know I would need to open something for all this magic to happen, but I would like it to be as safe as possible.
Any thoughts and suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks!
Adi
