Hi all,
Apologies if this has been covered here, but I looked around for a while and couldn't find the answers I was looking for - hopefully that doesn't translate to I didn't know what I was looking for ?
Ok, so today I discovered Hik-Connect and thought great, a mechanism to easily see my Hik cam when I'm not at home.
While setting it up it had asked for a 'UPnP mode' setting,.. which I left to auto - my thinking being that I don't have UPnP enabled on my router, so I should be ok with this UPnP vulnerability that's around for devices running non-recent firmware.
Then I disabled the wireless on my phone and was able to see the live view going over the Telco connection.
So my question now becomes, how was I able to see a live view if I had UPnP disabled on the router ?
Surely my live view I see on my phone doesn't happen by it coming directly to my router and into my cam as there's no inbound path - or so I think, or is this UPnP somehow active ?
Is anyone able to shed any light on this ?
Thanks,
Jim.....
