Access IoT device traffic on Guest network

I recently bought a Flint2 and moved all my IoT devices—including a Wi‑Fi CCTV camera—onto its guest network, which has AP isolation enabled. I’d like to access the camera’s RTSP stream from my main (non‑guest) network. Is there a way to make this work?

Here's something from a GL staff member @will.qiu that might help.

ok great i’ll give that a go - thanks so much for the response.

With reference to your first image on your response you show Guest being added as a forward zone from the LAN. When I set it up like this without making other changes it actually opens up all traffic from the LAN to reach the Guest Zone which is not what I want.

If you only want LAN devices to access a specific device in the Guest network (such as a camera), you can add the following rule under Luci -> Network -> Firewall -> Traffic Rules.

Please ensure you assign a static IP to the camera via address reservation to prevent the firewall rule from becoming invalid.

ok great, thanks - that appears to have done the trick (my configuration attached). With this I have allowed Windows dynamic ports to talk to the RTSP feed on my camera on the Guest network.
