    Dahua NVR and Router question about UPnP.

    You did help. I have a good candidate if I have any issues with unauthorized access come up. I ended up disabling UPnP & port forwarding from my router and using DMSS and P2P on my NVR. If any issues come up Tailscale will be the next step. TY M

    Well up and running. One quick question. All my IP cameras are DCHP assigned. Should I make them static? Vaguely remember something about DHCP vs Static is more secure? TY

    TY ..Frog. So I ditched the port forwarding. No ports open. I disabled UPnP. I still have DMSS with P2P enable. I can view cameras local & remote. I know that is not ideal. Will look into TailScale next. M

    Dahua NVR and Router question about UPnP.

    I have UPnP disabled in my Dahua NVR because I have read it has security risks. Do I also have to disable it in my router. My internet provider is fiber and uses an all in one connection and router. I have the ability to turn off in router but not real savvy about these things. TY

    Haven't been working with cameras in almost 10 years. Andy turned me on to the IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and they were great !! Are you saying I should just use a IPC-T541R-ZE instead of IPC-HDW5831R-ZE for the front drive? TY
