Thanks for the links, @samplenhold! I read most of these about a month ago, but most of it went over my head. Reading it now, it makes a lot more sense. Much appreciate you taking the time to post these links. Hoping to get a quick answer before we pull the trigger on a new router. As a...

I have only just started to install, nothing is up and running. I still have the packaging so I may return it and “buy twice cry once” I re-read your write up. I think this is the thing that us noobs dont understand at first: “One camera cannot be the be all, see all. Each one is selected for...

If you know who is doing it, your stuff may be OK to be able to recognize them. Do you live in city limits or unincorporated area? If in city more than likely they won't do anything sadly. Do not connect anything to the router. Do not scan QR codes and no port forwarding. If you want to view...

That is why most setup a VPN so that it is like you are back in your house. This is a free VPN. The paid ones hide your IP for illegal streaming and porno. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/ https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/vpn-primer-for-noobs.14601/

I know this is an old thread, but to ask my question I'd essentially be making the same first post, so I thought better to start with the answers from before. I've seen references like this to Dahua before, but have never found a Dahua that looks like the Amcrest cameras of the time. In any...

I've been through the VPN for noobs thread, and I think I kind of understand it. I have a second NIC enroute, and am pretty sure OpenVPN is the route I indend to go. So I need a router to host(?) Openvpn. My ISP already provides a wireless router that is the interface with the ONT(I have...

Thank you. This will be a weekend project. I just order that EmpireTech IPC-B22IR-ZAS S3.

Most of us set up and host a VPN like OpenVPN so that our video system isn't touching the internet via port forward or P2P. This is free and not a paid VPN. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/ https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/vpn-primer-for-noobs.14601/

We host a VPN and VPN back into our network. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/ https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/vpn-primer-for-noobs.14601/

So this is confusing. I have a Reolink Video Doorbell, purchased last year. In the Reolink camera software on the PC, its configured for a static IP address 192.168.50.151. In the Android software, same thing, shows IP address 151. In the Blue Iris camera software, it shows and configures...

Many routers have OpenVPN built in. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/ https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/vpn-primer-for-noobs.14601/

You have to remember we are not the intended audience of these cameras, it are professional installers installing in business situations. As such they have, or should have, their cameras isolated from everything else and using a robust VMS system to further create a disconnect. We are just...

You do remote monitoring with how he mentioned in step #4 https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/ https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/vpn-primer-for-noobs.14601/

That is probably the problem. In addition to opening up your system to being hacked - and they don't care about your video, they use these insecure security cameras (ironic isn't it LOL) to gain access to your network for DDoS attacks or to infiltrate your network to get banking and other login...

Many thanks for you prompt response and information therein. I think I will have to look into a second NIC for the BI machine. Can a second NIC share the same unmanaged switch? With my limited knowledge of VLAN, I believe these meed to have managed switches and as there are 8 switches around...

Foscam is lower end and many of them do require internet access, so even though it is pointing to your time server, it might not actually consistently look at that, or the CPU is so poor that it cannot keep time cadence in between pings to your time server and is looking to get access to the...

Not sure where to put this but because this is, mostly, an IP camera forum and when I read it I thought "WTF", so here it is. The NVR has 4 non-POE ports, basically like a LAN switch. I read the "note" and thought "no wonder noobs are thoroughly confused when they get here". I'd like to ask the...

Only if this video hasn't already been included in any primers, this overview by The Hook Up is excellent: Expert's guide to Security Camera Settings

The concept of "chase sensor size" is as it relates to the MP/sensor ratio. A 2MP on the ideal sensor size will outperform a higher MP camera on a smaller than ideal sensor size. See this chart: While the ppm/ppf is a good tool, it is just a tool. I can tell you that any images you see...

Hey wittaj and others. I'm new here, and have been reading the forums for a couple of weeks trying to learn everything o_O Apologies for reviving an older thread but I'd like to clarify a couple of things which might also help other noobs like me. 1. You mention sensor size is more important...

Our suggestion is to never use P2P. It is terribly insecure and also requires that your camera's have access to the internet (which is also insecure). There are a number of ways that you can access your home network while "remote". One of the most common ways is to create a self hosted VPN...

Wow, Thank You very much. I'm working on it right now.

Firmware upgrade wont help. This thread is still relevant to understand basic concepts however using tailscale or zerotier as indicated below allow you to avoid all of this. VPN Primer for Noobs You will want to disable upnp, p2p, bonjor etc on your camera. Disable upnp on your router. This is a...

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...

Thanks so much for your help!!!

Before you do anything, I would suggest looking at your router logs and see if you notice anything off. I would then consider factory reset of the NVR and start over (do not import config file). But even then, if they hacked in already then they have the serial number of the NVR and could just...
