Remote Access in Video Surveillance Becomes Free with P2P Connection in Xeoma

Xeoma simplifies remote access to CCTV cameras with a free P2P connection, without requiring a static IP and complex settings.

Imagine you have security cameras at home, at your vacation house, or in your office, and you want to check what’s happening from another city or even another country. Previously, this was complex and costly: you had to pay for a special internet address (called a “static IP”) and deal with technical setups. With Xeoma’s P2P connection, it’s now much simpler. Let’s explore what P2P is and how it works.

What is a P2P connection?

P2P (Peer-to-Peer) is like calling a friend directly without going through multiple operators. In Xeoma, it lets your smartphone, computer, or tablet connect straight to your cameras over the internet. You don’t need to mess with network settings or buy a static IP. Xeoma generates a unique P2P address, giving you instant access to your cameras from anywhere.

How to set up a P2P connection?

  • On the server (where the cameras are):
    1. Open Xeoma → Main Menu → Remote access → P2P connection configuration.
    2. Enable P2P and copy the P2P address.
    3. Find the password in the Users menu or via the command -showpassword.
  • On your device (phone/PC):
    1. Install Xeoma from the website or app stores.
    2. Go to Main Menu → Remote access → Connect to.
    3. Enter the P2P address and password, then click OK.

Done! In just a couple of minutes, you can monitor your cameras from anywhere.
