HI, from my home i run x2 ANPR cams and it all works satisfactory using HIK Connect (on phone), and using either a browser to view them locally or also if using iVMS-4200 software, again locally. The time has come where i now want to allow a family member to access my cam streams remotely using either their browser or maybe iVMS 4200 on their pc (if that's possible?)
I am a bit confused about what might be the best secure and simplest way of going about it.
I can only imagine 2 ways of doing this it but i'm happy to be corrected about anything here.
1/ They connect using their browser by punching in a fixed ip address or possibly a hosted domain (I'm guessing a VPN would likely be employed in this scenario?) so i'm guessing they would be addressing my cams in their browser with something like: https://80.253.625.**/192.168.1.**:800 and i would using fowarded ports and maybe a VPN
2/ This may be wrong but am I right in thinking if the remote family member has iVMS-4200 prog on their PC that they could enter the serial numbers of my cams and connect to my cams remotely? . That sounds just too easy to me so I won't explore that yet without some feedback first.
thanks. Sean
