NVR plugged direct into modem... concerns
Thank you for this, that’s the sort of info I have been looking for. I want to call the installer out, but I don’t like doing that unless I have actual information. If you have any links to hikvision, that would be helpful. I specifically asked if I should set up a VPN and they said it’s not... -

NVR plugged direct into modem... concerns
Oh, hikvision isn’t secure? I mean, obviously any cloud basted service has potential issues. But is hikvision known to not be secure? This is literally all new to me, my other setups are DVR’s which I access via r-pi VPN. I asked the installer if I should use a VPN, he said no need.... this is... -

NVR plugged direct into modem... concerns
I agree, there is 0 way to know. I’m just trying to get a sense of the likelihood. If I am told there is relatively 0 known exploits, that would have been one thing. Knowing they are known to have exploits, that’s another. One of my friends let me know they are known to being hacked into routers... -

NVR plugged direct into modem... concerns
I am sure I can get it to work one way or another. But again, trying to understand any possible exploits that could have been, well, exploited. Does anyone know of a way to modify the OS of these boxes, and could that be done via some random default service/admin password on a totally wide open... -

NVR plugged direct into modem... concerns
What is that? All I currently know is it’s a CommP 8 Port NVR. Also, what’s HikConnect? Sorry, I have not been hands on since I can’t even log into it when I have physical access, the user account they created me has no rights to any settings... Really just trying to determine if there are... -

NVR plugged direct into modem... concerns
Any info on this? It’s a Hikvision CommP NVR. Anyone know what version of Linux these things are based off of? What hardening goes into them? Is there re-writable flash on the boards that could have been compromised? Supposedly the installer was able to view the camera feed from LTE on his... -

I should have specified, HDMI to monitor. I don't have SADP, that may be useful. -

NVR plugged direct into modem... concerns
I would tend to agree, but after talking to them they did confirm it was working when they left. I am new to these NVR's, I am typically used to needed to open router ports (or set up a VPN which is what I typically do) to be able to view the cams when not on the LAN, but I guess this system... -

NVR plugged direct into modem... concerns
Let me preface this with I didn't do this. I didn't have my router set up yet in my new house, and the "security folks" I hired to help get the cameras set up and wired in clearly are not super bright which I previously did not know. They plugged the new NVR they provided me directly into my... -

Dahua 2MP Starlight Varifocal Bullet
These are some phone pix of the cameras I want to replace. They are currently on a DVR, and I would like to transition to Blue Iris and a good night vision Dahua camera. As you can see, not super high quality. Hopefully a Dahua option would allow for a cleaner image. I believe these are 720p... -

Dahua 2MP Starlight Varifocal Bullet
I am looking at picking up a Dahua 2MP Starlight Varifocal Bullet: IPC-HFW5231E-Z5E Intended use: it will be on top of my 3 story house and I want to use this location to see over my neighbors roofs (2 story) and down the street a bit. Camera will be ~40-50 feet away from the street... -
