I have grey market cams many are different versions but I have about 20 of them they are on 5.25 and I have been using them with PCNVR (discontinued) I didn't open ports in the firewall except to the PCNVR software.
Knowing that that this old FW is hackable I would like to update them but they are grey market. Chinese versions (ali express purchases).
If I run them into PCNVR am I safer? I only open the port to PCNVR and therefore the cams are not accessible to the net directly.
Are there known security flaws in hikvision PCNVR.
Some people claim they put English FW on some grey market Hik's without issues I may try it on one to see, but if I'm more protected using PCNVR then I may not try,
If I use Blue Iris latest with these am I then protected since it's the NVR software exposed to the net instead of the vulnerable cams themselves.
