You’re going to need a static IP from your internet provider in order to access your VMS over the web. If you can’t get that then don’t bother.

“You’re going to need a static IP from your internet provider in order to access your VMS over the web.”


That’s not accurate. FYI

https://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Dynamic-IP-Surveillance-System-s/280.htm

Any system you’re researching, check compatibility with DDNS services. You likely have a dynamic IP for your router/cable modem, meaning the IP address changes at the pleasure of your internet provider, preventing reliable access to your video software. A DDNS overcomes that little problem, but the system you purchase must be ‘DDNS compatible’ or ‘built-in DDNS’.

Kudos for researching before you buy, double that for posting here at FR.

Any tech geek here on FR can assist you if the instructions aren’t clear. The reference link above explains in layman’s terms.

Happy to answer any CCTV/tech questions, but on the system itself this thread is more informative than you know: References guide consumer purchases, and these devices change so often that I’ll be following this thread as well.
