I've just received my Dahua IP cameras, and I'm getting ready to test them. Following the cliff notes, I've temporarily disabled the camera's ability to access the internet by creating a false gateway IP address. The next step is to set firewall rules, but for the life of me, I cannot find anywhere in my router's firewall settings to enter the type of rules I see mentioned in the forum threads. The router in question is an Arris NVG589, and the manual is here: http://setuprouter.com/router/motorola/nvg589/manual-1741.pdf. Anyone have any ideas?
In case it matters, eventually I will have a router-behind-a-router setup, with the cameras and BI PC connected to a Linksys router, which will in be turn connected to the Arris router, which I need for cable tv. The Linksys router will have the VPN server, but otherwise it will be a dumb wireless access point and nothing more. I am assuming I will still need Arris firewall rules to block the cameras even with that set-up.
Thanks!
