Control Over Internet?

I am very interested in making a "virtual presence" bot, which I can log into and drive around my work or home for security, checking if I left the stove on, or what the cats are up to. Basically this would be:

A large bot, wheeled or tracked Camera articulated arm mic and speakers for bi-directional audio communications hi-power wifi Charging/Docking station

Can this be accomplished with EZBot parts?

Thanks!

  1. Opening ports is fine, long as it's ONLY to the EZ-B

  2. no one can relay from the EZ-B to any other computer in your network

  3. You can change the port of your EZ-B if you don't want tcp 23 (for what ever reason). This is done in the EZ-B's config - OR - most routers when opening a port allow you to specify the Internal and External port. So you can make the internal 23 and external what ever you want...

Thanks Guys,

I will take your advice and discuss it with our IT department. The company is mine and my brothers. I just want to make sure everything is as safe as it can be. Your information is very helpful.

@DJ,

Thanks for the info security using the EZ-B

I have been able to get remotely control & view the camera on an EZ-B over the Internet from a local PC running ARC by forwarding in the remote router to the ports I assigned in the remote EZ-B (8023,8024) and it works great,.

However, When I try the mobile interface I created and use the same ports I can control through port 8023 on my IOS device but I don't see the camera... any ideas?

Thanks, Frank

Oh I think the camera is hard coded port in the mobile app. Let me look into it
