My understanding is that I access the NVR and it directs me to each cameras when I click the Web symbol on the devises page.
Below is an example that shows up in my address bar.

So to summerise , I connect to the NVR and it does all the hard work for me. No VPN or port forwarding involved.
I cannot get in to the people I help like that without VPN or port forward. I believe @bigredfish has confirmed that is not possible, so you must have one or the other going?

Yes it will open the NVR screen. But I have not been able to get it to successfully open the cameras GUI using the blue IE icon. Maybe a browser issue?
UPDATE: Nope. Tried IE and Pale Moon. It cant connect becasue the NVR is seeing the 127.0.0.1 and wont allow it to reach the cameras directly.

As I am old school coming from an eara that involved vacuum tubes etc I am new to the IP world. I presume that when I connect to the NVR using P2P, the NVR does some form of ''Forwarding'' to the camera.

With an NVR that has its own internal PoE switch (you plug cameras directly into it) the NVR assigns IPs to the cameras that can't be reached (10.1.1.x) unless you are on the same network as the NVR
So even if you can get into the NVR interface (which you can using the P2P method and the SmartPSS Lite link as you did) it still wont allow access directly to the cameras interface. Each camera has its own web login and dozens of controls and features not found on the NVR. This is why we always tell folks to make your settings on the camera itself, not the NVR.
To get to the cameras that are plugged into the NVR, you login to the NVR, go to the Camera Registration page, and click the blue IE icon for the camera you want to login to
You can't do this via the P2P login

So if he is able to get to the cameras remotely that are connected to the NVR POE ports, they are either port forwarded or VPN or NVR in bridge mode maybe?

And you are clicking the blue IE icon on the NVR camera registration page and opening the individual camera GUI?

I open smart pss lite, go to devices and on the right hand side click on the world symbol that I pointed out earlier . You will then be presented with a login page where you can login again with admin and the password of the nvr.
Sorry its the blue icon ok and when clicked I get a prompt ''redirecting''.

Yeah, that gets you to the login of the NVR, then there is another screen that shows the "e" browser to let you login to each camera separately with a username and password down below - so are you not doing that and instead are drawing intrusion boxes and making changes to the camera at the NVR level and not the camera level because if you have not port forwarded or using a VPN, the e icon on this page will not load if not on the LAN.

You’re not reading or comprehending my question
I KNOW you can login to the NVR. I’ve done that many times.
Can you login to the individual cameras?
Not merely view them from the NVR interface but actually login to the camera GUI?
Are you even aware that the cameras have their own Login and interface separate from the NVR ?

As we have said, are you going to this page that @bigredfish marked up and hitting the e to go to each camera GUI directly? You cannot remotely unless port forwarded or VPN and that is where the settings should be done for the camera.
Hi Wittaj,
Confusion cleared with your attached screen shot.
My original question was how do I setup intrusion remotely using SmartPss Lite. I can now acheive this so that's it for now.
