Share web interface to outside?

[locarno]

Hello
How to easily share camera web interface to the internet so I can remote access it?

I want to to this because mobile app or smart pss can't enable light leds, warning (red,blue) light and sound alarm. From what I see I can only do this from web interface. Any sugesstions?

Best bet is to setup OpenVPN.

This is a free VPN that puts you back on your home network, not a paid VPN to hide illegal streaming and porno.

How to Secure Your Network (Don't Get Hacked!)

Many camera networks are unsecure, even those installed by professionals. This guide gives basic instruction in how to secure a camera network from the most common types of attacks. Perhaps the most important rule of securing a computer network is to not forward ports to unsecure services...

The internet is a force of nature; no video surveillance system made was designed to be exposed to those forces.. NEVER FORWARD PORTS to your NVR or Cameras, doing such things not only exposes you to severe security problems, but everyone else on the internet too.. Hackers dont want your video...

But why App or Smart PSS don' support TIOC camera functions? It is stupid that some basic options are ony avaiable from web dash.

Most software applications have a feedback button to the vendor. Submit this as a feature request and based on user demand may very well be incorporated into the next release(s).

This obviously assumes the vendor cares to update their smart applications as many just throw shit at the wall hoping it will stick!

Create a poll on this forum to gauge the want / need for this feature. If you see only a handful of replies affirming the same.

You have close to zero chance the vendor will invest their time to upgrade the same! Now, if the opposite is true send the vendor a link to that thread / poll as they will clearly see what their customers want and will drive more sales.

Fire off a message to Andy too as he has internal contacts with Dahua.

Another way to access the Web UI of a remote Dahua camera is to add it to SmartPSS using P2P. Then in PSS Device CFG, click camera, then click Link to WEB. It will use windows default browser on your PSS PC. Change the default browser if your camera needs a different one.
