Keep Hackers Out: Safer Remote Viewing Without Risky Ports

Quick intro: You can have convenience and security.

Best practices

  • Turn on two‑factor authentication in your camera/NVR app.

  • Create individual user accounts—don’t share one admin login across the team.

  • Prefer encrypted P2P or VPN access. Avoid raw port‑forwarding to your NVR from the internet.

  • Change default passwords and disable unused admin accounts.

 

Team hygiene that helps

  • Use a password manager and set reminders to rotate credentials when staff changes.

  • Review the login audit monthly for unknown devices.

 

Need help? We’ll secure your remote access and document it so future changes don’t break viewing.
