NVR Remote access question

[grendel54]

I have a client that owns a restaurant and would like to log in remotely to watch the cameras. The NVR is a 24Ch POE similar to the Dahua but doesn't have the Dahua name on it that Andy sold me. My question is...
Is TeamViewer the best option for logging in to the computer in the office then watching the cameras over the network or is there a better way?

Best practice is to set-up a VPN connection to the restaurant. The router installed there may already be VPN capable, you'd have to verify the model number and review the manufacturer specs.

The internet is a force of nature; no video surveillance system made was designed to be exposed to those forces.. NEVER FORWARD PORTS to your NVR or Cameras, doing such things not only exposes you to severe security problems, but everyone else on the internet too.. Hackers dont want your video...
