No. Yes. At the very least, someone hacks your cams/NVR and changes stuff, names the patio camera "hacked", sets a password, etc....basically teenage mischief, an inconvenience. At worst, they steal some vital info and/or turn a network device into a bot which applies DoS (Denial of Service)...

It's always recommended to reset the camera to factory defaults prior to and again after updating. The best advice is, if it's not broke don't fix it. Your remote access to the NVR should be setup with a VPN and not any port forwarding. How to Secure Your Network (Don't Get Hacked!) | IP Cam...

I couldn’t find a 5442 with a variable focus lens. Am I missing it?

IPC-HDW5231R-ZE has been discontinued, there are better replacements. Be sure you have studied the Cliff Notes. Don't use Domes outdoors, they have unwanted reflection issues. The current king of the crop is the 5442 Dahua series. Read the many reviews posted here. Any camera system should...

Don't use the P2P (IMOU) method or do any port forwarding. That's a security risk. Use OpenVPN and do it right. Through the window will cause problems, mount it outdoors properly. Read these: Cliff Notes and How to Secure Your Network (Don't Get Hacked!) | IP Cam Talk

@ljw2k Tell your buddy to buy a cheap pc and record to it. Port forwarding those cameras guarantees they will be hacked in no time. Hikvision Honeypot Hackathon

I appreciate your response. You bring up a good point about bandwidth. A couple of my family members live out in the boonies and have slow internet, so I would hate to have a camera streaming 24/7. I wonder if I could make a local HTML page and have code to view the 4 cameras when they have the...

The tricky part is avoiding wasting bandwidth when nobody is watching. Years ago I built an app which can do this but I no longer maintain it, and it isn't very good by modern standards. You can add all the cams to one Blue Iris instance but this uses a ton of bandwidth even if nobody is...

ok then, you'll be fine. not. :banghead: seriously, port forwarding opens a hole in your router's firewall and allows direct access from the internet. there are people/bots out there scanning for such open ports all the time. you will be hacked, regardless of passwords, as there are...

im assuming youre saying that if i have a basic router password? also my cameras dont have access to the web either, just my nvr. nothing i have has a basic password. its all alphanumeric and symbols lol

hm. i dunno then. like i said, my ivms4200 talks to my 7608 NVR on port 8000 only, so maybe you've got some port confusion going on. still, port forwarding for this is a bad idea. you will get hacked.

Oh dear. Not good. And UPnP is enabled too. Your LAN and devices will get hacked.

Question for you.... I have been reading a bunch here, and I understand the security push for VPN and seperate VLANs behind your router. I agree that forwarding port 80 is Really not a good idea. What about port redirection? Example-- Opening a random port that is not commonly used by an app...

No it is not safe. Here is why. If you are using a ddns provider that is included with your NVR, you are port forwarding which is simply not secure. You will be hacked.

I advise against port forwarding, especially directly to a camera. You should consider a VPN for remote access of your LAN and its devices, otherwise your camera could be hacked, turned into a netbot for DoS attacks and/or threaten the security of your home network. When you're at your home...

OK, so I thought I'd take up the suggestion of some forum members and expose newer Hikvision firmware to the internet. I took a G1 camera (DS-2CD2135FWD-I) and updated it to the current IPC_G1_EN_STD_5.6.4_191224 firmware. As Hikvision have added back the SSH enable to the web GUI, I used that...

We get quite a lot of posts about port forwarding - and quite a lot of good advice in response about the risks, and pointers to more secure remote access methods. And we still get posts related to the Hikvision backdoor vulnerability, where camera passwords are mysteriously lost, or cameras...

It's very likely being hacked due to inbound access from the internet being allowed. Next time it happens, try 1111aaaa or asdf1234 for the password. If that works, it will confirm it, these are commonly used by the hackbots. Have you set up port forwarding so you can access the camera...

What hackers do is they run port scans on your WAN/ modem address that shows what ports are open with port forwarding. Happens on the whole internet trillions of times a day on every public IP address. The way VPN works is the router generates a unique digital certificate, and vpn usually...

You must use IE11 with the webcomponents plugin installed. And if you want to avoid your network being hacked, don't use port forwarding, set up a VPN. Loads of instructiond for how to do that on the forum.

@alastairstevenson thanks a lot for your input. I had all ports closed except the ones for BlueIris, HomeSeer and Subsonic which all mapped to the same computer. I figured this leaves only one device (my computer) vulnerable and if I keep it updated (Firewall, Windows updates, Malwarebytes) it...

For your 3 R0 series cameras, check out ipcamtalk's download section here for firmware : R0 series DS-2CD2x32x-Ixx IP camera firmware Be aware that in Stage 3 of the brickfixV2 (assuming you are wanting to convert Chinese cameras to EN/updateable) you can't go direct to 5.4.41 but should use...

I am going to research this even though it will require a lot of self-education. Are you sure it will work with Logitech 700e cameras? I am hoping that I can learn enough to follow these steps.

Thank you! I am all for setting up a VPN, I already have a VPN program on my computer and I-Phone. Would I connect the VPN to my router, my Logitech Adaptor and my Logitech security cams? Will I need to know some technical information, such as the camera IPs (which I still cannot find), or...

I predict that you won't get any help on port forwarding (forum members won't want to help you get your LAN and the devices and data on it hacked) but that you will get directed to the resources for setting up a VPN access as a much safer method of remote access. One of many helpful guides :How...

It sounds like you've probably not entered the address or port number correctly in Blue Iris. Also, since you are port forwarding an IP cam directly, you should limit the source addresses able to access the forwarded port. If the router at your business can't handle that, then you shouldn't...

Of course, always fun to do that, and see what interesting passwords get used ... The good news : The password for admin is asdf1234 The bad news : Your camera has been hacked. That's one of the passwords that the hackbots use. The camera is presumably accessible from the entire internet, and...

Neither...set up VPN as suggested by @area651 and @SouthernYankee . Good. Also insure uPNP is disabled/off in all cams, the NVR and the router.....everywhere. When enabled/on, it can be hacked to forward ports all by its lonesome.

You are confused. The comcast tech cannot help you. You must read the wiki and learn about vpn or the other solutions i mentioned. OWLR users port forwarding/upnp that is NOT secure you will be hacked.

i like the open vpn idea, i have a cable modem no real router so my options are limited im happy i can forward ports on that shit "unity media connect box". i got a 150Mbps / 10Mbps connection is this for 3 cheap ip cams sufficient ? i was testing 6fps substeam anyways to not load mutch...
