I am sure this has been discussed to no end on other threads, but am not finding the answers/directions that I am looking for to my quandary. Maybe someone can direct me to the answers/processes to achieve the following scenario.

I am trying to "sell" our county EOC director on MESH technology and HAM radio in general (no money exchanged, just trying to get them to use our offered services). We have shown him how we have established a MESH network with both IP phones and IP cameras. We have demonstrated the application of having this available at an "incident" where a location can be monitored remotely. I have his interest piqued, but he has posed the following question: Can someone from the State EOC access the cameras to see what we are seeing?

My question/quandary: how would someone outside of the MESH gain access to information on the MESH (cameras, webpages, etc.) if your MESH had a connection to the internet? I know you can get out through the MESH to the internet through that connection, but how would someone get in? Would be a great "selling" point for the county EOC director if I could provide him with this resource.

I am working on something similar but dedicated to security of my home and property.  I am rural and putting up cameras to monitor the area.  My friend was able to access my cameras via the internet using IP tunneling.  I have both a tunnel server and client.  I hope to use the client node when on the road.  Only issue I currently have is most places only offer wifi access to the net and the mesh needs a hard line.  Trying to figure out how to connect to the wifi and present an ethernet cable to the node.
