What is running on TCP port 8000?

Hi,

I can see that the camera web interface allows me to configure the following ports:

HTTP Port: 80
RTSP Port: 554
HTTPS Port: 443
Server Port: 8000


​

What is the "Server port" used for? Is that the starting address for the RTP server? Do I need to open that through the firewall or is that only used to establish connections FROM the camera towards the client?


Thanks!

It's the port that's used by the Hikvsion-specific IPC/NVR management protocol.
You would only need to open it if you are using a Hikvision NVR or software to remotely connect.

Thanks AlastairStevenson! I have been wondering the purpose of that port since I never see anything connect to it.
