First, I want to get this out of the way. I have a VPN set up. It's too slow, and a less than perfect internet connection becomes unusable with the VPN. So, I'm looking for options OTHER than a VPN.
I've got the EYEsurv ESIP-PTZmicro-1080p. I want to access it remotely. Sending the connection through Blue Iris was a thought, but I don't want to dedicate the computer, and the associated electricity and added complexity/unreliability to only security. I also don't need there to be any more delay while panning. I'd like to just open ports. So:
1) I've accessed my camera through two programs on my phone. One is IP Cam Viewer, which uses port 554, and a Dahua app that uses port 37777. Is one of these ports/methods more secure than the other?
2)What other ports will I need to open?
3) I've heard some Dahua cameras have hard-coded users/passwords. Does this camera have any obvious security vulnerabilities?
The camera doesn't need to be ultra secure, I just want it as secure as possible, without impacting convenience. Unless if there's hard-coded passwords (And maybe even if there is), I'd choose convenience over security in this case.
Thanks!
