Just today I got 5 emails within 20 minutes. My NVR emailed me and said I had 5 illegal login attempts. Anyway to find out what IP's are connected to NVR?

BTW max char # for password is 16

Thanks for the responses everyone. Apologize for the barrage of questions! But everyone is very helpful. For the 8000 port (device port) what is the range of ports I can use instead of 8000? And antitrust can you elaborate on the specific user accounts while away?

Yes changed the default password of course. Something I have not found out yet is how long can the NVR password be and can we use special character like %$#@* ? Trying to find where I can setup the NVR to email me if a failed login attempt is detected... Do you know? When using a VPN to connect to the NVR, doesn't that render the mobile app useless? Thanks

Since forwarding ports 8000, 554, and 84 is necessary to have real time viewing from a computer and cellphone how secure are our camera feeds? Going to www.grc.com and doing a port scan ports 554 and 84 and 8000 are open and respond to probes. This means theoretically someone can connect to and attempt to break into our private feeds. Other than closing all ports and disabling viewing from smart phones can anything be done to secure this? I feel like our passwords could easily be broken?
