Question about ACTi standalone NVRs

Recommended Posts

So the ACTi ENR-140 (what I am looking at currently) comes with two LAN ports. Does one have to be connected to an "internal network" only containing the cameras, and the other connected to an "external network" with an Internet connection and other local PCs? Or can we just use one port to connect the NVR to an existing LAN and get cameras, network access, and Internet access through one port?

Both ways are OK!

You can have everything connected via 1 port, or you can separate cameras and remote access by using 2 different ports - in that case the NVR itself becomes a firewall, and remote users will not be able to reach and manipulate cameras directly, but can only access NVR.
