Can we receive alarms/view videos remotely when camaras are not connected to the internet?

Hi, I'm a noob, reading chats so i can get the get the correct nvr/cameras set up for our home..

I have read recommendations to not connect cameras / nvr to the internet to avoid hacking. If we do this, does this mean one cannot receive alert/notifications or view captured footage remotely? Or is there a safe way to do this without exposing the cctv system to hacking risks ? Thank you.

Hi,

You can only receive alerts and view your camera remotely by connecting it to the internet.

Essentially, as long as you keep your firmware up to date and use a strong password then all should be fine
