If your "default" firewall rule is DROP, then the answer is yes. The easiest way to validate (debug) is to configure the rules, and check "log entry". Then you try opening your VPN, if that works, try opening your cams (eg DMSS). All attempts will be logged & outlined then you know which ports...

Haai! There are different ways to solve this puzzle. Currently my VPN endpoint is (for various reasons) hiding in my main network. So when connecting from my mobile device (not on MAIN wifi), I can login through OpenVPN into the MAIN, and as all required video ports are open from MAIN to Guest...

This is how they do it here, in Western Europe. Covid information is on page 15 of the newspaper: wave number X is over. But if you look at the number of tests, those are less than 1% than in mid 2020. With a positive rate of 85% or more. Go figure. We even have hospitals with 8+ hour waiting...

I had to think immediately to this gem: Not only Australia got these cool ad's :D

The good old days :love: No wifi, no fridge, no playstation. Plus waiting 15 days (or more) for the mail carriage to pass by. Who doesn't want to live in such a time with 0 packet loss :slap: Because without packets, no loss :brainfart:

It's about the wording: "The switch VLAN & Network should be blocked at the firewall." More than often, "laziness" applies "security by obscurity". And then you're an easy target for the cat.

Enjoy this black-hole capable hobby! :slap: Do not forget to subscribe to @Arjun 's secret NSFW section :secret:

Then the next logical question is: can you show here what you mean with "jerky"? :cool:

It may help to state which camera you have... But overall Dahua has ample settings to mess around with: At least the resolution should give the correct "aspect ratio", all other parameters are fancy :D

Where do you guys see these ads???!!! I'm only seeing grass-cutting-lawn-4x4's :idk::headbang::slap:

Do you have ticked the box "RECORD"/"SNAPSHOT" when drawing the IVS rules? And more importantly: did you Activate Smart Plan / IVS on your camera? It can't have both MD and IVS active at the same time, it's one or the other. And as your schedule does show (red) MD, I'm thinking you didn't turn...

I do not know this HUB thingy, but ain't there a (firewall) log which indicates, at timing of an IVS alarm (this should be visible on the NVR) versus any entries in that log file? Now p2p is not the most secured way-of-working, and especially if you're heading towards ASUS, you can opt to...

Tsk, her in-wall cabinet is rusty! Nobody saw that! :love:

Okay, that is your physical diagram. That is okay! Can you now put your IP address of your NVR? I suspect it is in 192.168.1.x range, can you confirm? If not, there is the problem.
