Access OAK from outside network

Haseena · Oct 11, 2023

I want to check whether my OAK PoE camera is accessible outside my network. Hence I tried connecting with Google Colab using the below command.

# Specify MXID, IP Address or USB path

device_info = depthai.DeviceInfo("Mentioned my MXID") # MXID

It displayed : Cannot find any device with given deviceInfo

Can i access the PoE camera from outside my network uisng this command? What is the issue when using Google colab?

Hi Haseena
I think you can access it from outside if you have it port-forwarded (haven't actually tried but I think you would need to forward 11490 TCP - https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/hardware/en/latest/pages/guides/getting-started-with-poe/#ports-and-firewall)
Then connect to it by specifying the IP, not MXID.

Thanks,
