Camera Available to WAN

Hello, I have a Sophos UTM 320 and I am trying to open a http stream from a PTZ camera.

Ideally it would be available to control from my LAN, and only viewable from the internet. However, it would also work if it is only available from the internet. I could then log in to control the camera from the web and anyone needing to see the video stream could use a guest or predefined username/password.

I have an available static IP address from our ISP.

I don't know how to route the internet sourced traffic to the destination of the camera and return the stream to the internet.

Also, the camera streams over HTTP, our VLC stream looks like this:
http://guest:guest@192.168.1.101:88/cgi-bin/guest/Video.cgi?media=MJPEG&channel=[1]

You need to create a DNAT at Network Protection > NAT > NAT. You will need to know all ports/protocols used in order to connect to the camera. If it is only http, you could use WAF, Webserver Protection > Web Application Firewall, as an alternative.

Thanks for the quick reply, I hadn't thought of using the WebServer feature of the UTM. I followed the setup from here,
https://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/117511.aspx

I encountered an issue where I couldn't toggle on the new virtual machine, then I read it couldn't be turned on until the interface was active. After that seems to work like we want. For added security we toggle off the external IP when not in use.

Thanks again,
