MrHappy Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 IIRC "system" was on every dahua dvr but was a local user ? Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairweathergardener Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 James.wilson....I'm so confused now. What do you mean? Can someone explain why DMZ is a bad idea? Could that be what caused me to be hacked? 1 minute ago, MrHappy said: IIRC "system" was on every dahua dvr but was a local user ? But on every user did it say...your account has been hacked please secure" by the side of it? Can someone elaborate please as I'm not very familiar with a lot of these terms but am willing to try to grasp it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Poor password can cause problem often Dmz basically opens all ports to your dvr if that's what was set to dmz , then perhaps combination of weak password and full access via ports it could be hacked You should be disabling and securing any user access not in use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 dmz on most domestic routers forwards everything to that ip. Never a good idea opens up ftp, ssh, telnet etc etc should never be done and only done when the uneducated thinks it will make it work. It will work but opens up a security nightmare. I don't like port forwarding much less dmz. Quote securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

Fairweathergardener Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 In your view, are P2P any safer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Chinese p2p as they probably secure everything there end for viewing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Look up P2P networking, I'd say it's a lot worse security wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairweathergardener Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Crumbs! I give up. Not really sure how to secure my cctv network then. Can any of you give me step by step instructions as to how to do it? If DNS is poor and P2P worse, then what else is there to enable remote viewing? With regard to the P2P - if it was hacked, would that provide a door to my whole network or just to my CCTV box? I'm not sure how all this networking works Edited November 23, 2016 by Fairweathergardener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 There is no step by step instructions available. It goes far deeper than "DNS" and "P2P". Every network and site is different and most DIY kit is easily compromised. Security is about layers, the bigger the carrot the more layers you need.
