Remote camera over 3g/UMTS connection

I'm currently testing a scenario, in which one of the camera's is located at a site without wired internet connection. There is no easy way to arrange wired connectivity. Therefore, I connected an Axis 215-PTZ to an Draytek router which establishes a 3G/UMTS connection.

When opening the stream in VLC media player, the stream is displayed quite well. However, I can't get ZM to display any video. Other camera's are fine. I reckon, the high latency is the culprit for ZM. Ping times are between 400 / 500 miliseconds.

Is there anyone who did this before, or are there any advanced settings which will make this work?

Thanks!

You could try passing the vlc stream to zone minder.
You'd have to look up the particulars.
