Before this I had to plug in the Monitor to the recorder to configure the device within the same LAN all the time. Now the problem has been resolved. Thank you so much. ❤
This exposes the mapped ports on your NVR directly to the Internet. Most security experts recommend *against* this since its a huge security hole -- someone can directly attack your NVR. And there are tools (like Shodan) constantly scanning the Internet looking for open ports. Port 80 (unsecure HTTP) is probably the worst one to expose. I hope anyone viewing this video will check out other resources before doing this. More secure solutions are: 1. Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN), with your router as VPN endpoint. From the Internet, you use a VPN client on your device to connect to your router & authenticate. It transparently creates a secure tunnel from your (external) device to your home network. 2. Use a trusted P2P server to establish a connection. Some manufacturers (e.g. Uniview) have such a server. 3. Use an overlay network. Many routers have a feature to use overlay networks, too. And whatever you do, *please* don't enable uPNP on your NVR or your router. uPNP enables the NVR to punch holes in your router's firewall. Like the kiss of death. :-)
Does setting up DDNS let you to do VCA playback without being on local connection? Like when you're far away and want to access VCA playback (Motion detection only) cuz I can see that its greyed out on Hik connect
It is useless instruction, because 80% of security equipment connected through 4G network, but there double NAT present. Only keenetic Dyndns or NO ip can help to connect over internet.
