Answer
This article describes the steps that are required to access the DIVAR IP 5000 AIO system from the internet.
(*it’s also valid for DIP-72 and DIP-73)
Note
DIVAR IP all-in-one 5000 - OS image version 1.00:
BVMS Mobile Video Service (MVS) is not installed locally on this platform, as it is not required.
The VRM web page (https://<system-IP>) can be used for web-based access. In this version of the DIVAR IP all-in-one, the local MVS is anyhow displayed in the BVMS system configuration, but is not required. The local MVS can manually be removed from the BVMS configuration.
For example, the video security client software can login to the DIVAR IP all-in-one 5000 without requiring the MVS service.
1. Protecting the system from unauthorized access
In order to protect the system from unauthorized access, we recommend that you follow strong password rules before connecting the system to the internet. The stronger your password, the more protected your system will be from unauthorized persons and malware.
2. Setting up port forwarding
In order to access a DIVAR IP system from the internet through a NAT/PAT capable router, port forwarding must be configured on the DIVAR IP system and on the router.
To set up port forwarding:
- Enter following port rules in the port forwarding settings of your internet router:
– port 5322 for SSH tunnel access using BVMS Operator Client.
– port 443 for HTTPS access to VRM using Video Security Client or Video Security App.
The DIVAR IP system is now accessible from the Internet.
