Restricting Viewing On Dvr Channels.

[vandamme]

Hi guys I've been tasked with a project to restrict viewing of certain channels when viewing a camera over the WAN, it needs to have password encryption and safe enough so you cant just scan for different ports and stumble across another camera. my initial thoughts are ip cameras with user names and passwords together with different ports for each camera via port forwarding.

 

Is anyone aware of a dvr that can be assigned different ports per channel with password per channel, I would like to cut costs and use analogue cameras if possible?

The dm units allow you to assign viewing rights per channel

System Q also allow that on analogue dvrs, as always stopping someone being 'helpful' is a problem, so forced regular password changes .

in that sense perhaps you could restrict by pc user access to pc's, then permission level would 'walk 'with the user?

Most decent DVR's can have different access rights to different cameras for different usernames.
