8.2.2.8 VPN

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. It is a network protocol that can provide you secure encrypted connection over the public internet. It is a significant technology in surveillance industry. Imagine that you have a network camera connected via public IP address, it’s possible for others to log in or listen illegally if someone knows the specific IP address and forwarded port. Via VPN the camera streams and data will be transferred through an encrypted tunnel. This encrypted VPN tunnel makes it appear as though you are directly connected to the private network, keeping your online activity (including your browsing history) hidden. For Milesight camera, VPN feature allows us to log in the camera via a virtual IP, which makes it easier to configure the camera remotely.
