Any remote access or monitoring would occur by accessing the cloud service. That configuration would allow the DVR or CCTV camera to communicate to the cloud service on the Internet. Instead of allowing inbound access into your own network from the Internet, you could simply enable what is typically a proprietary cloud service for your flavor of device. Case in point: our previous blog post on Dahua DVRs.Ĭloud services seemingly provide a much better access option for these devices. Although effective, that method of access left what was in many cases a potentially vulnerable device exposed to the Internet and your internal network. If the ability to access these systems remotely was required it was most commonly achieved by opening a port on a firewall and allowing access from the Internet to the DVR or camera directly.
