    Standalone Cam VPN setup

    I've just had a thought. Will I be able to receive app motion notifications if I do the above setup? Would I always need to be connected to VPN while out?

    Hikvision in the UK

    Defcon thanks for the reply. I believe the reason for the accounts is as per the reply above. They now seem to sell to trade only. I assume dahua are the same. Leaving someone who wants a decent setup with support after that isn't trade... Stuck! I assume each company would have thier own...

    Interesting help thank you. Thanks dognamedtank. You say it's not ideal, are we talking from the complexity of setup or a security side?

    Thanks for the info on this. Alot of companies advertise they are Authorised resellers but I guess they arent quite being honest! Can't believe how much work it is to find a reputable brand available to the end user!

    It certainly does. Im not sure how things go if I need to return etc on ebay . Somewhere like Amazon make that easy that's all! May I ask why avoid bullet design out of interest?

    Is this possible, advice please.

    Thanks for the response .Understand your explanation. If I got a large enough SD card to cover a weeks footage and reviewed when / if required would that work? The setup I mean.
