Either install OpenVPN on your router if possible; OR, purchase a Raspberry Pi (RPi) and install OpenVPN and/or WireGuard on it using this guide; OR, install ZeroTier (or TailScale) on an always-on computer on your LAN and access your system remotely that way. To use these options you will need...

Can you backup this claim that VPN's are easier to hack than cloud NVR access? I find that hard to believe, considering NVR's are one of the most least secure devices you can put on your network. You can find a decent Asus router that has OpenVPN built into it for $160 or less. You can also buy...

Port forwarding is still a bad practice.

YMMV.... FWIW, I've installed 2 NVR's for clients, both Amcrest (rebranded Dahua), both port forwared, one hacked after 1 month, one still OK 5 years later. I've been running my BI server since 2014 using port forwarding, never hacked. Also running 2 more residential BI servers and a business...

All good thoughts for a business. But for residential use, a tad overkill. However I understand everyone has a different understanding of what 'secure' is

Whether you are going to choose an NVR or BI. Best practice is to utilize VPN connectivity for remote access, never use port forwarding. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/

VPNs are easier to hack than cloud NVR access. VPN you have to buy into infrastructure like replacing the router with a good $400 router because port forwarding a computer that is hosting a VPN server can be hacked. DDNS and Static IPs are extra costs. Free DDNS are prone to hackers. Cloud VPNs...

If you are deliberately exposing your device to the entire internet by using port forwarding on your router, there's a good chance the device, and potentially the other devices and data on your LAN, are at risk of being compromised either now or in the furure. Check this out for some good...

The 192 is correct, not following what you need me to do with the cursor over the BI Status page

Slide the cursor over on BI camera status page so we can see if there are No signals. Looks like you must be port forwarding instead of VPNing back into your system and people have either hacked or tried to hack. Those IP addresses come back to known hacking sites. Is every device on your...

Don't you need to set up port forwarding anyway to access your NVR remotely? https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/

Yep I would say for port forwarding. https://support.censys.io/hc/en-us/articles/360038378552-Frequently-Asked-Questions You haven't been hacked yet, but the possibility is real. Follow the above VPN.

Port forwarding is a huge security risk. How to Secure Your Network (Don't Get Hacked!) | IP Cam Talk

Despite that the Univiews are connected to PoE ports on the NVR, consider the possibility that the devices are being attacked / hacked as you are providing full access to them from the entire internet. Suggestion to try : Connect the NVR to the router, but disable the port forwarding, disable...

Note: Port Forwarding: NOT Recommended, eventually you will get hacked / attack .. Please see the VPN notes ..

Then your cameras are likely all hacked. Don't keep anything sensitive on any of the networks in this horrific mess.

I use a UPS and a generator. There is no other way than to replace the power, somehow, during a blackout. I also use a VPN to view the cameras remotely. Port forwarding is an invitation to be hacked, not necessarily to steal information although that happens far too often, but to have your...

Sure, I would but the end users are not techie enough to use VM.....

Try an old version of IE / Windows in a VM. It's hard to make infrequently updated hardware work with software like a browser that's always updating. Exposing the nvr to the internet via port forwarding is a serious risk. It's very likely it will eventually be hacked/bricked as a result.

Correct, port forwarding is not secure: https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/ Setting up SMTP notifications is slightly less than realtime. But most have reported it works well for them. Once notified of an alert via email on their phone, they will access their...

You dont need to have the NVR update your ip. Most routers support this function. That said port forwarding will get you hacked pretty fast.

OK, so the entire internet has access to the system. I'd speculate that they are being hacked / messed with by mischievous / malicious access from the internet. One way to confirm that would be to shut down the port forwarding and see if the problem persists. This very good advice is worth...

The more I start to understand these systems the more questions I have. Thanks for the education. So the stuff I’m reading on the Dahua site about using port forwarding for remote access with iDMSS is not secure and you guys recommend VPN? My concern with VPN is the additional load on my...

Lot of misses from a rather cheap manufacturer from China, but they can easily fix the bugs and move on. After all, there aren't that many NVR builders around the world, so they do have their slice from the market for sure. Isn't similar scenarios possible with Dahua, Hikvision, Tuya and all...

They might be being hacked, if they are accessible from the internet. Try admin passwords : asdf1234 1111aaa These are common consequences of being hacked by the 'backdoor vulnerability'. Is UPnP enabled on the cameras and the router? That would allow inbound access. Port forwarding enabled? A...

I agree everything has their issues and if it is connected it can be hacked. that being said one of the reasons I have been buying Dahua from andy is he makes things right and very quickly whereas I had a Hikvision speed dome from another vendor on here and while it was still under warranty it...

If you have a port open for any reason it is a risk. 8080 is a very common alternate port for port 80 and will get hammered. Every attempt is moving the point of probability closer and closer to being hacked. Use a VPN, OpenVPN is easiest, and stop forwarding ports. Yes, it's an extra step...

You're probably port forwarding and being scanned by hackers. Read these two threads and get a VPN going, an inbound VPN not the services you see advertised to hide your surfing. Those are outbound VPNs. Secure Network https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/...

Thanks for the good info. I do know about port forwarding as I used it years ago to log into our computer at work using port 3389 on a windows xp pro machine. I know this port is no longer safe to use anymore even though we never got hacked back when we used it. That was in the early 2000's...
