Be careful if you activate PTP on your NVR

It's very troublesome with cloud security. I'm no specialist, and there's a great deal of info in the WIKI on securing your camera system. Even if it's not 100% correct it may be just enough to get skipped over if or when a ddos attack happens using your cameras. It may even be worse with all the smart home gadgets.

Believe me when i say just because it's easy and stuff, be carefull. If I knew more I'd give simple reasons....but I've been down some rabbit holes that scare the shit out of me. Not because of my "simple home" but because so many like the convience of "smart home" gadgets which can include camera systems.

I also have p2p activated on my dahua nvr. I need to work on a better firewall/DNS.
Some rabit hole i went down about ptp server locations and crap just made me think about it.

I rarely check my cam system thru a public network but like the ability to do so. I get no notifications except from my doorbell if pushed.


I do have a nice hard wired home alarm system with 4glte monitoring in attic, so if someone broke in hopefully the sirens blasting would make them leave before they stole my liquor hidden on the countertop beside the shot glass.
