    Default P2P remote access on NVR's etc

    What are your guys thoughts on P2P on these NVR's and other devices. Is anyone worried about back doors etc. Most only need a serial number to connect, and i doubt password is much protection. Does anyone still port forward and use DYN or something similar? We have lots of DYN accounts that we fund, but gets expensive. Does anyone actually tell customers to get static IP?

    Generally just do P2P. Only port forward if having issues.

    I understand P2P is an easy option. Especially for the older security techs that prefer ease of use. I thought more people would use secure solutions instead of relying on manufacturer servers. I have no reason to believe Hik and Dahua for example cannot view and access cameras and NVR's (or alarms) via P2P protocols.

    I have in the past port forwarded and made sure it was secure by changing ports, usernames and passwords.

    Now we only use P2P because most clients don't want to know they need a static IP or DNS lookup etc.

    Also too many changes of modems/routers etc and then the cameras go offline, and it's always the NVR's fault it doesn't work.

    To use through Web Browser, just go to *CameraIP:HTTP PORT* (eg192.168.0.10:8080). Will only work locally and if it has web interface. You will need to port forward to the camera to access it remotely from third party app. My point being, using P2P on this brand of camera or others, could allow others to access it, regardless of password set.
