I have my Dahua DMSS app linked to my XVR using the P2P method, as I'm too dumb to setup a reliable free DDNS.

Is using the P2P method safe, or should I really opt for the DDNS method, and if so, which service do you suggest?

Cheers

Not only that,but I guess if using that method have to sign up with a DDNS service as well, because I have dynamic IP which changes every 24 hours

Damn every day? P2P and ddns are both relays. Is getting a static from isp an option?

It's about $30 a month, but for other reasons, like IP's that get blacklisted, I prefer not to have a static IP.

They gave me one for free a few years ago, and I asked them to switch it off.

P2P method works fine, only wanted to know if there are security issues

I’ve never personally seen a client have a problem, and dahua p2p is about 99% of what I install. The old way of ip/domain and port forwarding is just a little snappier on response.
