Most important is your email address, with it anything can be settled. Just set back your ip etc and this time please used a secured password

thanks ..

just curious, how did the DVR got hacked?

i'm using a PC as DVR for my cctv, access via port forward

The hacker used a scripted application to put some Words on the cameras/channels OSD.
Those hacked DVRs are using old firmware and direct port opened to internet.

We recommend the following actions to mitigate potential risks:
1. Password strength is critical. Please set up a complex password for your devices.
2. Generally, we suggest not to connect devices directly to the open Internet. Instead, place them behind a firewall and use a VPN.
3. It is important to ensure that your decoder/ipcam have installed the latest firmware.

So it's partly HIK fault & users negligence!

hi any recommended router which uses simcard ? it will be just for remote viewing for CCTV

I used dlink, very stable. Still working now at customer site. Forgotten the model no. I also used Maxis Aminia MA131, quite stable but I think need maxis simcard.

TP-link TL-MR6400, so far so good, it use qualcomm chipset so quite stable.
