There are a number of ports you need to port forward to get the system to work over the Internet. I'll have to look at the firewall rules I've set up for the baby cam. The good thing about the setup whether it be the actual camera or the NVR is they both can run over HTTPS. Because the login is encrypted, it's probably pretty safe to connect in using a strong password. The other thing you can do as I mentioned above is to use a user account with stripped down privileges for use over the Internet. As far as I can tell, the NVR OS seems to be some stripped down Linux kernel.

I'm pretty paranoid due to my work in IT so I tend to go overboard with security.
