Quick Start - Add a Remote Location

1

Choose Connection Method

VPN (Recommended): Set up WireGuard or OpenVPN between sites. Most secure option.

Port Forwarding: Forward RTSP port (554) on remote router. Quick but less secure.

Cloud/P2P: Use camera manufacturer's cloud service (Hik-Connect, DMSS).

2

Get Camera Stream URL

Find the RTSP URL for your camera brand:

Hikvision: rtsp://user:pass@IP:554/Streaming/Channels/101
Dahua: rtsp://user:pass@IP:554/cam/realmonitor?channel=1&subtype=0
Reolink: rtsp://user:pass@IP:554/h264Preview_01_main
Uniview: rtsp://user:pass@IP:554/media/video1
Generic: rtsp://user:pass@IP:554/stream1
3

Add to Dashboard

Go to Locations tab → Click Add Location → Enter details → Add cameras with their stream URLs.

4

Test Connection

Use VLC Media Player to test the RTSP URL first: vlc rtsp://user:pass@IP:554/stream

If it plays in VLC, it will work in the dashboard.

Security Best Practices

  • Always change default camera passwords
  • Use VPN instead of port forwarding when possible
  • Enable HTTPS/SSL for remote connections
  • Segment camera network from main network (VLAN)
  • Keep camera firmware updated
  • Use strong, unique passwords per camera
  • Disable UPnP on cameras and routers
  • Monitor access logs regularly
