      While there has been considerable discussion regarding streaming to the Internet (what I call outbound), I'm looking to go the other way.  I have a couple of IP cameras connected to my broadband pipe that share a switch with a couple of pfSense boxes (gateways).  The old installation (upgraded incrementally from 2.2.1)  works with the cameras but the fresh install of 2.2.6 seems to be blocking something.

      The DVR software on the LAN side uses TCP 80 (HTTP) to control the cameras that stream back on UDP 554 (RTSP).

      I've been through the connectivity checklist and everything seems right but the DVR can't see the cameras.  There appear to be no firewall hits logged.  If I switch gateways (no other parameters change) between the pfSense boxes on a LAN-side machine, access to the cameras comes and goes accordingly.  I'm using IPv4 to address everything.  Both gateways show one hop to each camera and I can ping both cameras from both gateways.

      Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

        Everything on the same LAN?  Your router should have nothing to do with it.  Are you crossing subnets?

        If your talking having your DVR on one connection and the cameras on another thats a different story.  (with the pfSense WANs in the path)

        Cameras open to the internet?  Can you see them from outside your setup?
