remote connection to hardware without static ip or access to the router
I have a situation which I have a piece of hardware (an intercom system) that I need access to remotely. I want to use some type of wireless bridge to connect the unit which is hard wired to an internet connection in the building. I do not have access to the router to open ports up and it does not have a static IP. I want to be able to access this unit remotely. Any ideas?

the intercoms is a web interface an do would access's it via pc
the Mac of the router ?

MAC of the intercom system.
But even then, who controls the network? There would be a few ways to tackle the issue, but it would be ideal to have whoever runs the network involved.

You do need access to the internet endpoint (router/firewall) to get from the outside to the inside.
And do it in such a way not the whole internet can access your system.
So you need some filters on allowed sources.
Or ideally you need a VPN between two sites.
Systems with dynamic IP addresses can mostly be helped with some dyndns.com like solution.

is it possible to use the ipsec protocol to gain access to the network, kind of like using netcat for a reverse shell?
Yes/No...
Yes: IPSEC is a VPN technology. As such you can connect to a remote site confidentially and use internal addresses. (site -> site tunnel).
So it does provide security.
No: netcat is an application that sits in between 2 applications (proxy), IPSEC is networking technology.
in stead of netcat possibly ssh (if the target name is known through dyndns), can be made usable to have confidentiality back.

I think the simple solution is the one above a micro PC with teamviewer on it.
thanks

What OS is being used?
Can you obtain the MAC address of the box?
