there are more secure ways of accessing the cameras

Thanks.
As no one stepped in, read the links Looney provided. P2P is not in any way safe for a CCTV camera. Many have tried it, and had cameras hacked or botted. Some on here have set up connection monitors and have seen as many as 1,000 attempted connections per hour. The only way to view remotely safely IS via VPN.

It might not be your software problem today, but it will be and your next question tommorrow. Our advice, get ahead. Once your camera is bricked, or worse still the wider network accessed, it's too late. Password changed and it's you locked out or firmware / boot loader corrupted and no way to get the camera to boot. As a network engineer, you should really know better than to P2P with Shodan and other browers around that make you discoverable.
