Greetings everyone,
We currently have a client with some private security cameras that can only be accessed using their local network or with a VPN.
The main idea is that the client gives us the URL to access the security cameras and we then want to constantly gather the data from those cameras from a container deployed on azure.
I have heard about VPN Gateways, RTC Clients, VPN clients, and Application gateways.
What solution do you think would be the best fit for this problem?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Hello @Pedrojfb ,
Just wanted to check the progress on this issue.
Kindly let us know if the below responses helps or you need further assistance on this issue.

What protocol do the cameras use, is it HTTP/HTTPS traffic?
I would guess a VPN is required here, to connect an on premises private network to your Azure virtual network so a VPN gateway could be used here as this can handle all TCP/UDP ports.
Thank you for your answer!
Most of our clients' cameras use RTSP protocol, not HTTP/HTTPS.
Do you think a VPN Gateway is scalable in the long run? The idea would be that every client we have, would be able to connect to our service, add the link to their camera, and we would be able to gather that camera's feed. And of course, we want to minimize the number of steps the user has to make for this to work.
No, this would not be an ideal solution in that case. Requiring every customer to have a VPN would be a blocker and add a lot of support and maintenance. I would look at streaming to Azure directly. I don't know anything about the solution below but it's worth researching into this and see if it's a possibility or if it gives you some ideas.

Hi, You would need to connect to the on-Prem via VPN gateway. Once you connect to the security camara source, then your VMs in Azure have ip connectivity and you can get the data you needed.
