I have 2 hikvision ANPR cams that are on my home network and i don't run an nvr or dvr in the setup and just record to SD card and have 2 local ip addresses. I'd like to view the Hikvision web interface (that i see at home on the local ip) remotely or allow another remote user to access it. I'm having trouble finding a walkthrough if anyone can point me towards one as they all seem to have nvr/dvr involved unlike my simpler set up. Any help or pointers apreciated.
Accessing my ip cams remotely without nvr/dvr

thanks for the info i'll check them all out.
To look at my ip cams remotely i imagined it went:
1/ Get my local network cam ip address (192.168 ***)
2/ Add this onto whatever my current outside public ip address is (and maybe the port number) and then get port forwarding setup on my home router. Then I should be able to connect on a browser anywhere and view my cams after logging in.
I can see this sort of setup would have me chasing my ip address every time it changed and a static ip is not something i have so that setup wouldn't really work in the long run.
Hopefully I could get round the dynamic ip problem by having one of these free VPN's running then maybe?
