    Hikvision Dome Cameras - do I need to port forward even when using HikConnect?

    I've just obtained a couple of Hikvision dome cameras and am very pleased with them. However I'd thought that when using HikConnect, that I would not need to port forward. Is that correct? I have a number of Foscam cameras and their app does not require this.
