I have 2 Enabot Ebo SE robots. Earlier this year, they fucked up something in the app / how the bot communicates with the phone app. Before this regression, the bot and the phone app would attempt a direct-ip video/control channel. This worked great as video and control worked over wireguard, and no video ever went out to the internet or any C&C servers.
Now, nothing works, as direct-IP fails to establish, and the two bots are useless unless your phone is on the same subnet as the bots. This was a selling point, about "remote monitoring" which no longer works.
Are there any low-cost robots I can drive around over VPN to monitor a rempte space like a vacation cabin? Has anyone had any experience with this https://www.moorebot.com/products/moorebot-scout ?

I did this 2 different ways with a C240-M3 and a Supermicro 16 bay chassis. Both, i used an ATX power on adapter to keep the jbod power supplies on, and some fan power splitters to keep fans on the HDDs.
First was using a 16port external HBA with SFF-8088 and finding SFF8088 to SATA cables to connect to the SM chassis backplane. It was jank AF.
Second was using the same 16e HBA with short SFF8088 cables, and some SFF 8087 - 8088 adapter cards in the back of the SM chassis. So much cleaner, much happier with how I was able to add 16 LFF disks to the C240-M3
