The default IP address for Hikvision cameras is 192.168.1.64. If you plan on using a single camera, you can leave this IP address or change it to whatever suits your needs. But since we'll be configuring 4 cameras and an NVR for this example, we'll need to set up the equipment to have different IP addresses. The setup we'll be using will have the following IPs:

This means you can access multiple LAN devices via a single IP address, but using different ports. Since we have access to the router via its VPN IP (10.0.0.1), we can configure redirects from this IP to the NVR and the IP cameras.
