    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Just to verify, you weren't able to see the cameras from the NVMS7000 app until AFTER you connected to the VPN, correct? When you tried before connecting to the VPN, it gave some kind of an error? Also, I exported my certificate, but when I try to log in to my router from my Android phone, I...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    Thanks for the link. Wow, the 600VA model looks like a good deal. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for your input about the PSU calculator. Since you also have a Tivo, have you tried to access your recordings when on a remote network, perhaps by connecting to the VPN first? I read about this...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    Thanks for the response, and for sharing your situation. What's the model of your 650 UPS? Looking at the pic you posted earlier, it shows the UPS with the Blue Iris PC, and the PoE network switch, combining for 48 Watts. My desktop PC is different from your Blue Iris PC. But when I used the...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    Back to the discussion of what I should plug into my APC uninterrupted power supply: Here's what I'm thinking: Should connect: * NVR 5416-16P-4KS2: ~ 17 - 23 Watts * Asus AC2900 Router: ??? Watts * TP-Link 7620 Modem: ??? Watts Nice to have: * Ooma Telo VoIP device: ??? Watts * Uniden...

    Is this true? How do I know if a device has an HTTP port available?

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thank you. I was a little confused earlier in this thread, as I thought I had to use the DDNS once I logged into the VPN from a remote point. I thought that since the IP address could change, then the DDNS would be used instead of the IP address. But that was cleared up in post #898. I don't...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I have the NVR5416-16P-4KS2E NVR. I have the VPN set up. I just want to understand the process of viewing, so when I make the installation appointment, if the installer says to enable port forwarding, I can say no. So how do I view the streams in a browser, both on the home network, and...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I don't have the cameras installed right now, so I haven't actually port forwarded anything. (Nor have I done any such configuration on my router). So how do I view the streams then? What do I do in my browser, both on the home network, and remotely after connecting to the VPN?

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I am also confused how remote viewing works, after I've logged into the VPN. Or, if I'm on the home network, what do I do the view the streams? What do I do in the browser? I used the ASUS firmware to set up the VPN. Is the ASUS firmware's port forwarding also tied to the VPN? Also, I...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    I asked this in the post I just submitted, but after I have my cameras installed, and I've enabled port forwarding, do I use the DDNS URL with the port for either a camera, or the NVR, to view them? Do I manually use the DDNS URL for anything? Or, as you said, does it just help the VPN client...

    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Yes, I was just trying to make sure I understood the data flow. Because I don't have my cameras installed yet, I don't have connected devices. But I wanted to make sure I had correct setup, and understood the setup too. The devices I have on my network are an Ooma and a Tivo, but I don't...

    Looking for a camera security system.

    Thanks. I decided on this model sometime last year after reading that it was good in particular when things are played at slower frame rates. And yes, the model is a little overkill, but still not too much, IMO.
