The cameras and the NVR are connected via Ethernet cables to a PoE switch, which is connected to an RUT router, placing all devices in the same LAN. The RUT router is connected to a VPN making the network reachable to other VPN clients. The end user then connects to the NVR via the VPN IP address of RUT using the <b>Hik-Connect</b> smartphone app.
