    Thx very much for this link, last night I was poking around many things referenced there, will really help a lot.

    Securing NVR and cameras - VLANs / firewalls

    Router is an EdgeRouterX, can't currently access it (won't bore you with the details), so thinking of replacing it.

    Securing NVR and cameras - VLANs / firewalls

    I want to do as you have described, have the ability to access my NVR via VPN remotely. But since this is my first item out of the gate with a security system, I thought I'd start easy and simply lock down the cameras and NVR, before I tried anything remote. "Firewall appliance" - why did you...

    Securing NVR and cameras - VLANs / firewalls

    Thanks for your help -- NVR does not have POE ports, all cameras plug into the switch

    Securing NVR and cameras - VLANs / firewalls

    I'm very experienced with tech stuff, but networking is not my forte -- so could use a bit of clarity on securing things. I have a Ubiquiti USW-Pro-Max-16-PoE that my Dahua cameras will be connected to and a Dahua NVR. I've watched countless videos and read countless blog and forum posts on how...

    Copy from NVR to cloud storage

    Thx much for the quick reply -- I'll be connecting cameras to a dedicated POE switch, and running that switch to the NVR. My understanding is that it's a best practice in terms of security to have the cameras/NVR on a separate VLAN. Curious if getting out from the NVR via FTP will require any...

    Copy from NVR to cloud storage

    Apologies if this has been asked before, didn't specifically see it when I searched. I just ordered a couple of cameras and an NVR (NVR16CH-AI 16 Channels) from Andy, and although I have zero experience with security systems until now, I've had a long history with technology. Wondering if there...

    NVR/switch questions - two structures

    Thanks for your reply - correct, POE switches in each structure. I'll have to revisit the spec for the network cable that connects the switches, but I'd imagine there will be a point at which the bandwidth is not sufficient, depending on the number and type of cameras, and whether recording is...

    NVR/switch questions - two structures

    Hi everyone, I hope this is the correct forum to post this, didn't see an exact fit. I don't have a current security system, and have been in touch with Andy about a single varifocal IP camera and an NVR, for handling up to 16 cameras. However, I need to secure both a home and a workshop, so...
