False sense of security.951-852-2463
I want this app to work, I love Hikvision cameras, and I do believe in edge storage. But the app simply doesnt seam to work for me, I believe it requires open router ports which a typical upnp router will configure, but I have that feature disabled for security. If the manufacture can show me that this doesnt require open ports, and assist me in making it work, I will update this review, until then, look at axis!
Edit: upon further investigation, I believe axis companion also uses upnp port forwarding. This leaves synology surveillance station with cloud connection, and iVideon as the only options I have tested that dont open ports, and/or force all traffic offsite at all times. I have upgraded the rating to a 2, but wish all security developers would start rethinking surveillance connectivity.
