Upload through http?

[HeroS_NL]

Hello all,

The raspberry pi is on my list for a long time, so I probably will buy one next week. My plans are to use them as a security camera. I watched alot of youtube video's on this, it suggested to use motion. My idea is (because I cannot access ports therefore can't see it 'real time') to upload video's through http without opening specific ports on my router. Is this possible?

Cheers!

ps. I can't open ports because my router is connected to ANOTHER router (where I don't have administrator access on).

Hate to be pedantic, but isn't that how the web is build?

You could try VPN, i.e. tunnelling via ssh or similar, for remote access. Fairly easy, as you have access to the first router (your own)

I can't access SSH or something either by accessing the external IP. I do have acces to the internet though.
I see your point, but my problem is that my (wifi)router is connected to ANOTHER (wifi)router. This router where I'm connected to is from someone else in the house which I may not adapt some things to. Therefore I cannot portforward..

(so I don't have acces to the FIRST router)

Bump! Anyone who knows this information?

If you cannot access the router to "port forward" then how are you going to connect to your Pi to upload with http??

Well, since all the devices who connect to my router have access to the internet, thus http, it will be the same for the raspberry Pi right?

On connecting myself with the Pi, that will be a problem yes, but as long as I'm in the same network (at home) it won't be a problem?

Two devices on the same LAN will not be blocked by any router.

Two devices on different LAN when neither can unblock any ports, could use a storage space (dropbox for example) on the internet to exchange information.

Thank you! This was the information I needed
