    VPN Primer for Noobs

    Thank you for your response. Yes my modem is provided by ISP. Its HG8246 ONT and I dont see bridge mode in it. Does that mean I cant use Secondary router (under modem) as VPN server without port forwarding? I bought a TP-Link and it also has DDNS setup but it doesn’t seem to be working behind...

I wanted to buy Dahua because of its name and standards. May look for alternate. Not sure if HIKVision...

    Any HIKVision IP Cameras working standalone without DVR/NVR

    Thank you all for your feedback. You are right, it was just misleading description by seller. Just to share my experience, instead of fisheye, I ordered HIK cube camera to test as I found an extra sensor in it which probably gives more accurate results of movement sensing. There are 3 models...
