Hi,
If I summarize correctly, we have 2 sites A and B.
On site A, we have the fortigate which is a NAT router and the ISP's internet connection is connected to the fortigate.
On site A, we have the fortigate which is a NAT router and the ISP's Internet connection is connected to the fortigate's WAN port.
On site B, we have a 2nd Fortigate, and have connected port 1 of Fortigate1 to the WAN1 of the second Fortigate.
On the Lan of the second Fortigate, we've allocated the CCTV cameras, and we'd like to view them from our site A.
Fortigate1 LAN IP address: 172.20.100.1/24
Fortigate 2 LAN IP address: 192.168.1.1/24
Fortigate1 WAN IP address: 10.1.10.1
Fortigate2 WAN IP address: 10.1.10.2
Thank you, and this is much better and it proves that this statement is incorrect:
Fortigate1 WAN IP address: 10.1.10.1
It is port4 interface with the IP address 10.1.10.1
I assume that the CCTV cameras have the IPs from the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, correct?
Do they allow source IP from IPs other than the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet?
1) On FGT1, create a static route for the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet with interface port4 and default gateway 10.1.10.2;
2) On FGT2, create a static route for the 172.20.100.0/24 subnet with interface wan1 and default gateway 10.1.10.1;
3) Create appropriate firewall policies on FGT1 and FGT2 respectively. If CCTV cameras do not like source IP other than 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, you may enable NAT in the inbound firewall policy on FGT2.
Thank you for your support.
I'm sending the screenshots of my configuration according to your suggestion.
And sorry, I got the IP address of the FG1 lan wrong: 172.20.99.1/29
But I still can't ping the IP address of the camera which is 192.168.1.175.

I can't figure out what's blocking it.
You need to draw in Site A and a VPN between two sites as well in the same diagram. Then, the static routes you need become obvious.

In his network diagram, since port4 on FGT1 and wan1 on FGT2 are in the same subnet, I assume that they can talk to each other.
In this case, it's not necessary to use IPSec VPN, unless the path between FGT1 and FGT2 are not secured.

His drawing is Site B only. In his original post, he said he wanted accessing the cameras from Site A. That's why I mentioned he needed a VPN between Site A and Site B.
Toshi
Not really, based on his description, FGT1 is in Site A, and FGT2 is in Site B.

@YacIs it what all you have? Then I have English problem myself.
<edit>After I re-read your original post, I can see FortiGate1 is at Site A and FortiGate2 is at Site B and those are NOT separated by the internet but directly connected by a physical cable. And the internet/NAT is ONLY at Site A. Then, you can ignore my whole comments. Sorry about that.</edit>
