Network newbie here but what is the safest and best way to be able to remotely access my home network? Really open ended question I know but I have a cctv server and would like to be able to access it remotely.

I don’t really even understand the basics so am struggling. At home I have a virgin media sh3 and an ASUS 68u in AP mode. I’ve setup DDNS and a custom script in the router to perform updates if my home IP address changes. From here I just don’t understand how having a DDNS name then allows me to target a specific home box?

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks, is using a VPN transparent. What I want to do is setup access to the cctv server from my families phones but if it means firing up a VPN client first then I can’t see them going for it?
