    Switching from VPN to Port Forwarding.

    There are vulnerabilities within P2P itself and the device whether it is a camera or NVR. Flat out these devices are not secure, which is ironic LOL. It comes down to your level of convenience and amount of risk you want to take. Everything in life has a risk. At the very least you should VLAN...

    Switching from VPN to Port Forwarding.

    Hackers don't care about your camera feed. Hackers use a vulnerable device (NVR or camera) that has ZERO protection on it to get into your LAN and either scrape it for bank info or use your ISP as a bot for DDoS attacks. Your antivirus software and router firewall do not block this crap because...

    Malware in EmpireTech IPC-Color4K-T webplugin.exe

    While not totally related to this camera, it does show how cameras can be exploited even when there wasn't a plug-in needed. Hackers don't care about your camera feed. Hackers use a vulnerable device (NVR or camera) that has ZERO protection on it to get into your LAN and either scrape it for...

    Remote Viewing Problem

    I have been guilty of using the p2p solution because of poor networking skills. This would be a good time for me to become familiar with the open VPN setup.

    Remote Viewing Problem

    OK. So you have no problem viewing the cameras through the NVR system while on the local network, correct? Your problem occurs when you try to access the NVR feeds while away? If this is the case, your issue probably lies within your network's router, not the NVR. Right now I suspect that...

    [restart fixed, but unknown cause] Crippleware [or bug] by Dahua? Motion Recording was disabled for all non-Dahua IP cams on Feb 27, 2024

    No, Dahua didnt send you crippleware in the middle of the night. You have to setup MD on the IP camera itself. NOT the XVR. The camera will typically override most settings you make on the XVR when it reboots for any reason. You cant treat IP cams the same as analog cams. ALL settings should...

    Blink Cameras

    I told you how Blink gets your video to the internet and allows you to see it - it is using P2P. And without talking to their servers, the system won't work. It is slightly safer than port forwarding, but not by much. You are putting all your faith in some company to have proper security in...

    Who is ShadowServer.org and why are they on my list?

    A google search indicates they are an internet security company that scans the internet to see what is out there and potentially vulnerable to threats. You can reduce the incidence of such events in your log by using a much less common port number (such as something between 10000 and 65535)...

    Advise needed, my Hikvision was hacked/pwned

    Maybe - but more likely to be a firmware vulnerability that was exploited for the (unspecified) camera with the (unspecified) firmware version. No - it does not matter if the camera can be addressed by name or by IP address - if you have configured a dynamic DNS service you presumably have...

    I need to watch camera remotely

    Doing this is going to require quite a lot of technical skill, especially to do it securely. What I would do is identify the location with the best, most reliable internet connection and reliable power, and put a server there which would aggregate the video streams into one convenient web page...

    Dual LANs on Same wire provide Security?

    Whoa you had the FBI call you about what was happening on your system - who hacked you and what were they doing?

    Dual LANs on Same wire provide Security?

    jmhmcse : Thanks, Iv'e turned off my 30 cameras and BI server as I think two cameras have been hacked. Before shutdown, BI can see the camera data( views) and uses the passwords and usernames from my records. Trying from a browser, I get rejected. With a pin reset , it askes for password...

    They don't care about your camera feed. Hackers use a vulnerable device (NVR) that has ZERO protection on it to get into your LAN and either scrape it for bank info or use your ISP as a bot for DDoS attacks. The P2P/QR code/port forwarding is how they are gaining access. There are lots of...

    Hikvision NVR NIC frozen

    Crazy idea - could the unit be hacked and your home ISP was blocking it somehow, especially if you are using their modem/router combo? Are you using P2P or port forwarding?

    Foscam FI8910W Cameras No Longer Work

    It’s entirely possible, I’ve got them disconnected for now, and told the company that these are long outdated and a potential liability. But here we are. They were behind a firewall, no port forwarding done to the outside world (other than blueiris port), but being these are like 13 years old...

    Inherited a Camera System

    Unless the release notes specifically mention it fixing a problem you are experiencing, more than likely it won't fix an issue and may make the camera or NVR worse by removing functionality or worse brick it. Another thing to consider is that the same model could have different firmware for...

    Please help with Log details!

    So let me ask you this. Don’t you need P2P in order to view the cameras on your mobile? What can I do to prevent this and still view the cameras on the mobile app?

    Please help with Log details!

    Usually if you do P2P that is enough damage LOL, but some then add to it by also port forwarding. If that was not you logging in and out and saving the P2P configuration, then it sounds like someone hacked in and was changing the P2P to make it even easier for them to get into your entire...

    Please help with Log details!

    Yes, I’m using P2P but can’t remember if I set up with port forwarding. I don’t think I did. So you think maybe someone else is possibly logging in? I was thinking maybe the “save P2P config” may mean that someone was possibly trying to gain access to my cameras but that’s only a guess.

    Problems with Remote viewing of security cameras without firewall hole punching

    Hello again, Just one more thing to check before I commit to new modem/router hardware for OpenVPN. You say NordVPN hiding IP address means camera video can’t be shown. But I could log in to the camera site using its IPaddress, where sites user name and password could be entered. However where...

    Problems with Remote viewing of security cameras without firewall hole punching

    I cetrainly agree that use of a VPN does not protect you from what happens when you reach your desired internet destination. I guess thats why anti-virus is needed along with VPN. Surely in the present context the use of VPN is to protect unwanted interception of your message/data "during...

    Problems with Remote viewing of security cameras without firewall hole punching

    The simple answer is NordVPN is used to HIDE your IP address for illegal streaming and porno LOL. Hiding your IP address then makes you not able to see your cameras without punching holes thru the router with port forward. OpenVPN puts you back into your own system. So once you VPN back in...
