  • IP cam not communicating when connected to main router
    2 projects | /r/HomeNetworking | 4 Jun 2022
    I have a raspberry pi running Shinobi as a NVR system for my house. I have IP cams that have been firmware unlocked (Yi Hack), my issue is when they are connected to my access point in the front of the house I can query them with no problem and access the webUI, pull the RTSP stream etc, once I change the wifi to my main modem they basically go cold. I can see them on angry IP scanner as blue (they are there and connected though not responding to query). I'm unsure where to start, port forwarding seems to just block port 8080 and shut out my net when I'm trying to access the Pi.
