Docs/Network
Your PC, from anywhere.
Cameras, encoders and phones have to reach your PC from the internet. In Settings › Network and internet you choose how, and every link and QR code in the App follows it.

Modes
Choose how it is reached.
If you can open ports on your router, use Direct. If not (hotels, companies, VPN, double router, carrier CGNAT), use a tunnel: the PC connects out to a server and everything comes in through it.
-
01
Direct
The router ports, opened by UPnP or by hand. The lowest latency. The Router card shows each port with its state and «Check from the internet».
-
02
Own NAS
The tunnel server on your NAS with Docker. No limits or fees, and it carries the Intercom TURN. The App creates the package with its keys.
-
03
Amazon Lightsail
The same server on a Lightsail instance you rent, if you have no NAS. The App creates the package with its installer.
-
04
SAMedia service
SAMedia's tunnel, with nothing to set up. Free with limits the App shows in real time, or unlimited with the monthly subscription.
Own NAS
The tunnel server on a Synology · 10 minutes
With DSM 7.2 or later. On QNAP (Container Station) or another NAS with Docker Compose it is the same folder and the same docker-compose.yml.
-
01
Create the server in the App
Settings › Network and internet › Own NAS › «Create the server…». Type the name that follows your router's IP (the NAS DDNS, e.g. mynas.synology.me) and save the ZIP. That PC is already linked to it.
-
02
Upload the folder to the NAS
Package Center: install «Container Manager». File Station: create the folder docker/srtserver-tunel and upload the unzipped content of the ZIP there (Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, .env and the helper and data folders).
-
03
Create the project
Container Manager › Project › Create: name srtserver-tunel, the folder from the previous step and «use the existing docker-compose.yml». The first time takes a few minutes.
-
04
Router ports
With UPnP on the router, the server opens them by itself. If not, open them by hand to the NAS IP (and in its firewall, if it is on):
7100 TCP + UDP # túnel / tunnel 7101 TCP # control 3478 TCP + UDP # TURN del Intercom 49160-49199 UDP # TURN (audio) 41000-41999 TCP + UDP # los PCs / the PCs (100 cada uno / each)
-
05
Check it and link the other PCs
In a browser on your network, http://NAS-IP:7101 shows the version and the state. On each extra PC, Settings › Network and internet › Own NAS: paste the content of CODIGO_PARA_LA_APP.txt (from the ZIP) where it says «Paste its code» and click «Test».
Recommended NAS
Which NAS works.
Any NAS with Docker (Docker Compose) and a 64-bit processor. What matters most is your connection's upload: each channel and each viewer adds its Mbps.
| Brand | Models | Docker | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Synology | DS224+, DS423+, DS723+, DS923+, DS1522+ | Container Manager | Tested on a DS723+ |
| QNAP | TS-264, TS-464, TS-h973AX | Container Station | Same ZIP folder |
| UGREEN | DXP2800, DXP4800, DXP4800 Plus | Docker (UGOS Pro) | Same ZIP folder |
| Asustor | AS5402T, AS6704T | Docker (Portainer) | Same ZIP folder |
A guide only: any model with Docker Compose and 64 bits works.
