I have CCTV system with 12 Axis HD IP cameras and an HP server running the CCTV recording application. All the cameras have 192.168 static LAN addresses and so has the server. However, to enable remote access to the server, I have to allocate the server one of my 13 Public addresses. As soon as I do this and re-start the server the BH3 crashes after about 10 minutes. It loses synch or just locks up. The only assumption I can make is the BH3 can’t handle the routing of all the HD video feeds from the cameras as all the feeds have to be routed from one subnet (192.168.x.x) to the public address (81.`142.x.x) of the server. The only solution to this problem is to keep the server with a 192.168.x.x address and NAT the designated public address to this one. But, the BT BH3 doesn’t do NAT.
My question is, can I replace my BT BH3 with a router that does do NAT (say a Draytek)? I note that BT describe the static IP addresses as no-NAT, does this mean they can’t be NAT’d or is it just a design feature of the BH 3?
