A public IP address is commonly used by several hosts. When you access a CCTV DVR from outside network, the request is forwarded to specific ports like http port, control port and media port. Thus, traffic will be from and to your DVR only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have an<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Network_Video_Recorder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> NVR device<\/a> or a Server that needs to pass through your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sophos.com\/en-us\/products\/unified-threat-management.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sophos UTM<\/a>.
