This document covers the setup of a Wireguard client on a Teltonika or MikroTik router that will enable DeepAlert remote access to the local network of the router, allowing for centralised streaming, health checks, camera configuration and setup.
There exists a DeepAlert “Management Service” tool, which can be used to automate the onboarding of the Wireguard client. Note that this tool works best on fresh installs, and may interfere with existing VPN setups on the router. Otherwise a manual installation guide has been provided.
Please note that for Teltonika routers, an extra package, “VXLAN” is required on the router, which must be manually installed. This can be found by navigating to System > Package Manager in the router web interface, and searching for the package.
The management service tool can currently be obtained by contacting [email protected]. The automated install uses the same steps for all router types.
Running the tool will show this window. You will only need the tool running when you are pushing configuration to the router.
Create an EdgePlus site in the DeepAlert management interface
(Optional) Test connection to the local management service. If this does not show “alive” then there is an issue between your browser and the management service. Try disabling adblockers.
Click “Provision VPN”.
(Optional) You can now view your Wireguard peer details. Note that the private key is not stored, so the config will have to be re-provisioned if you lose it.
Set your virtual IP. This is an available static IP/CDIR on your camera network. For example: if your cameras are at 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.100, you could set your virtual IP at 192.168.1.250/24.
Enter router credentials. In the router section of this tab, click “Set credentials” and enter in your router credentials.
Now click “Push config to device” and the router will be configured with the correct settings.
(Optional) Click “Check VPN” to check the VPN server can now identify the router.
