Remote configuration

[Anonymous4ever]

Hello, for various reasons I cannot use the Hikvision cloud to manage my NVR, so I was advised to configure Port Fordwarding on port 8000 (better if changing the port to a different one) of my router, in order to reach it.
Everything OK, it works, I see my cameras!! but if I click on the wheel to see the remote configuration it doesn't work, it crashes.

Question: How can I get remote configuration to work to remotely configure the device parameters such as basic information, time settings, recording schedule, etc?
Do i have to open another TCP port?
Where can i specify this port?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

I was advised to configure Port Fordwarding on port 8000

Perhaps by someone who'd like to see the device, and your LAN, getting hacked!

Check this out :

How to Secure Your Network (Don't Get Hacked!)

Many camera networks are unsecure, even those installed by professionals. This guide gives basic instruction in how to secure a camera network from the most common types of attacks. Perhaps the most important rule of securing a computer network is to not forward ports to unsecure services...

Suggestion - take a look at how to set up VPN remote access. This is much more secure than letting the entire internet access your NVR.
Loads of threads and posts on the topic here.

Hi @alastairstevenson, thanks for the advice!!!
But what about the question asked? Is there a way to access the remote configuration with port forwarding?

Thanks.

Press F12, look for what ports the browser is communicating with the camera, then forward those ports too

But as @alastairstevenson said, you should not do this

You can do cloud remote configuration if you add NVR to Hik-Proconnect(Hik-PartnerPro new name). It is usually for installers but any end user can use it as well

I have the same problem.
In Hik-Connect app when connecting to Remote Configuration it gives an error: Connection failed. Everything else on the app is working good.

Anyone have any idea?
