P2P Vs. Port Forwarding on NVR

[jack7]

You can use PC Amcrest Surveillance Pro(ASP) or a browser Web UI to access a remote NVR. You don't need to use UPnP. Just use port forwarding and amcrestddns.

Yes, I am planning on using a browser (or two) to distance access the NVR. AT&T isnt making that easy, though, as I havent been able to get it to work.
That can be tedious and error prone but should work.

You can also use PC ASP to access a remote NVR using P2P, as Revo mentioned. Amcrest P2P would typically be considered more secure than port forwarding, and easier to set up.

How would I be able to do P2P if I want to also add guests with limited access?
Here's how.

Thanks for that. I see its Beta so Ive held off experimenting with it for the time being. Amcrest support did get back to me about port forwarding, and helped me with some settings I thought I made but didnt "take."
