        You only need one route , that's in the 5.1 firewall.

        You need to "Tell/Route" the Camera lan via the pfSense 5.x interface (.253 ?)

        So on "Firewall"
        Route 192.168.70.0/24 via 192.168.5.253 (pfSense)

        Check the fw log , for blocked packets going fron firewall to the camera lan.
        Maybe you need to allow packets to the 70.0 net on the 5.253 interface

        If you find my answer useful - Please give the post a šŸ‘ - "thumbs up"

          @bingo600 Thansk fo replying, I think I am not explaining - i just want PFsense to route between 5.0 and 70.0 lan networks, the firewall is not part of the equation really. I built the pfsense just to route from the lan 5.0 to the camera network 70.0 so I can manage the cameras.

            However, since the LAN devices have set the default route pointing to the firewall, you have to tell them to go to pfSense if the want to get into the camera subnet.

            You can do this by DHCP from the firewall if it is capable of this. But I'm in doubt.

            So you may have to add a static route to each LAN device to get it work with this setup.

              Or "dirty trick" set the .253 as def gw for the 5.x devices , and "live" with some "redirects" for inet access.

              But unless the pfSense is "natting" the camera lan out on the .5x lan , you will have to route in the firewall ,if the camera lan had to have internet access.

                  Does the pfSense have def-gw on 5.1 ?

                  You have 2 choices:

                  1: Put a static route to 192.168.70.0/24 via 192.168.5.253 , in the devices on the 5.x net that needs access to the camera lan.

                  2: "Dirty trick"
                  In the DHCP server for the 5.x net , set default gateway to 192.168.5.253 , and let the pfSense handle all the traffic for the 5.x net.
