Hi,

Total newbie in the ipcam area but good background of other tech. This forum comes up a lot on google when I have been researching!

I guess my total newbie question is probably best here?

Looking to set up 4 dahua turrets to one of their NVRs with smd/ai etc (I could but don't have the time to go down blue iris/pi route etc)

Ideally I would like notification when a person is on the driveway, to my iphone. How do i do this- while maintaining reasonable secOps?

In the UK is seems common to use a QR code, and the DMSS app - is this naive?

Do I need to set up a VPN? If so can I do that with a VM router or I need a standalone? Would I only get alerts on my Iphone when I am then on the VPN?

I am looking for security against bots that is as good as the Ring doorbell I am replacing

Thanks
 
Get the pro or ultra series nvr, it has a robust firewall and IDS. If you wanted to go the vpn route almost all newer routers have it built in and easy to configure.

I think I have only seen the WizSense NVR so far (in my budget). Does that come with firewall?
