    Is P2P traffic for dahua encrypted by default?

    Again, read what you thought was a bot LOL. 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...

    Is P2P traffic for dahua encrypted by default?

    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    It’s entirely possible, I’ve got them disconnected for now, and told the company that these are long outdated and a potential liability.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...

    The short answer is to not give the camera any access to the Internet. https://ipcamtalk.com/wiki/how-to-secure-your-network-don-t-get-hacked/ Without more details on the specific model of camera, how you are connecting to it and what method you are using to view/record footage, I don't have...

    Access UI3 or BI App externally?

    Ok so no safe way - this is why I use a proxy manager for encryption. My 2 ports point to my nginx already - do not want to change this. Or just vpn Thanks

    Access UI3 or BI App externally?

    You would have to utilize port-forwarding which would allow you access IN to your private network (LAN) from the Internet. This method would also allow the opportunity for others on the Internet to access your LAN. This is explained in more detail in the "don't get hacked" link sent in my...

    blueirissoftware.com website down (2023.07.07)

    On the virus front, some larger companies such as Kaspersky allow you to upload a folder for manual analysis by their techs. This is better still than a web check. One sure way to confirm. That said, apart from Eset-NOD32, I haven't heard of any of the other AV vendors which is a good pointer...

    Blue Iris App - doesnt work unless on home wifi

    Unless you open ports (port forwarding) on your home network router, you will be unable to reach the BI server. This is not the recommended method for remote access, as it leaves your home network unsecure and susceptible to nefarious activities by people/things on the Internet...

    How to setup DuckDNS?

    +1 on the above statements. We see plenty of people come here after being hacked despite https being enabled. It does absolutely nothing to prevent the backdoor vulnerabilities from being exploited. Ironically, these types of "security" systems (cameras, NVRs) are not very secure from the...

    How to receive by a single computer cameras located in different places

    There are several ways to do it. First of all, unless it is a PTZ camera, you probably don't need port 80 to be open. Only 554 is necessary to pull a video stream. If you are going to forward ports over the internet, you need to consider security. IP cameras are notoriously vulnerable to...

    Do any of you actually use Dahua P2P for external access to your cams?

    Dear @hesiod, thank you for your quick response! 1. When I use the P2P service (SN/scan) in DMSS, I never set port forwarding in the ZTE F680 router. 2. When I do port forwarding in the router F680, then in DMSS I set that DMSS connects exclusively via IP/Domain and then I enter my fixed IP...

    Do any of you actually use Dahua P2P for external access to your cams?

    First safest solution is VPN connectivity between your device with DMSS and NVR. Second safest is obviously P2P with any portforwarding disabled. But in case Dahua P2P services are down, which could happen sometimes, you won't be able to connect. Third and most insecure option is port...

    How To Upgrade Amcrest / Lorex to Dahua Firmware And Get All Dahua Features

    I understand but I don't believe they have been hacked there are no signs of it at least but you never know they are always finding ways to get in. But no port forwarding is been done. This system is supposed to be a deep learning algorithm system and we are not using any of it because what ever...

    P2P IP Camera Viewer for Smartphones

    Wifi cameras in general are problematic. There are much better choices in cameras than Foscam or Reolink. Reolink definitely should be avoided. I would stick with Amcrest, Dahua or Hikvision cameras. Do you also use these cams for security surveillance? You definitely need to do away with port...

    Divulging to much info on here

    The P2P/QR code/port forwarding is how they are gaining access. They do not need your serial number, but in @Perimeter example, if the delivery driver wanted to hack you, the serial number on the box does make that easier. There are lots of examples where the security devices (ironic isn't...

    Adding Cameras over the WAN

    Hackers are happy to just infect your cameras and use them to attack other targets. If you are going to forward a port: 1. Restrict your port forwarding rule so it only works from the IP address your NVR will be using to connect to the cameras. Do not open it to the entire internet. It will...
