    Dahua NVR Web Interface

    OK I think this is exactly what I was asking for. It sounds like you should be able to not allow NVR have any access to internet and still have local network only push alerts in the mobile app (unless you connect to your local network over VPN in your phone when on cellular).

    Dahua NVR Web Interface

    If I keep the NVR on the IoT VLAN, it's not any more dangerous than other countless IoT devices I have. The biggest risk is getting the outside footage of my home exposed unless the router has vulnerabilities which in that case I have bigger issues. In this setup though, I need to use the app...

    Dahua NVR Web Interface

    OK maybe I totally misunderstood. It sounds like you allow the NVR to talk to internet but block incoming traffic to it which a regular router should do anyway if you don't do any sort of port forwarding. I was hoping that the NVR could directly talk to the app on the phone (app) since they are...

    Dahua NVR Web Interface

    OK this is good news and different than what mittaj mentioned if I understood correctly. Are all of your cameras hooked up to the NVR? If so, do the cameras even get an IP in your local network or the only way to access them is via NVR indirectly? Another potential setup would be to connect...

    Dahua NVR Web Interface

    I was talking about using the DMSS mobile app. That's the one for Dahua NVRs, right? Does that app require the cameras to be exposed to internet to get the notifications?

    Dahua NVR Web Interface

    I plan to access the NVR web interface either locally over WIFI/ethernet or via VPN remotely. Never direct internet access. Do the mobile notifications for stuff like motion detection work if your phone is connected to the same local network?

    Dahua NVR Web Interface

    Plugin downloaded from the camera itself does not make it any safer though. Are you saying Dahua NVRs still require a plugin to be installed even in their latest NVR 5 systems? I see some posts about this topic but they are pretty old.

    Dahua NVR Web Interface

    Hello, This is my first message here! I am looking to set up a security system for my home and wanted to get some info about the Dahua NVRs. I was originally thinking of Unifi Protect stuff but their cameras are not very high quality and their ONVIF support is at its infancy. Basically it's...
