Multiple NVR access across internet to one remote system

[JXBURNS]

Have 3 separate sites with HikVision NVR proposed to be installed with maybe 15 cameras on each. I have used their cameras extensively but always used BlueIris as the hosting server. I'm just fed up with Windows updates constantly changing things so thought a hardcoded firmware based system would be better.

I guess the 3 x NVR would be added to Hik-Connect and cameras can then be viewed using the various apps. From what I have garnered from various websites it looks like I could use hik-connect.com/domainname via a browser to access the cameras albeit with reduced functionality so that an end user can monitor but not play.

Is this correct?

Does that functionality allow different cameras from the 3 x NVR to be shown and/or some sort of multiple profile setup that allows grouping of cameras which the end user can choose from e.g "External", "Internal", "Car Park", etc?

I've set up a Hik-Connect account but of course have no NVR yet to play with. I am proposing to use DS-7732NI-I4/24P for the NVR.

Thanks - John

I think that if you want to remote access three sites from a central site you'd be best to use iVMS-4200 and to set up port forwarding (or a VPN) to each.
I don't think you'll be able to use the Hik-Connect portal route/method.

Thanks Phil.

I did read up about that software but was confused as versions I have used before (long time ago) only allowed single access. Assumed that still the case. Will download and see what I can do with it perhaps on the existing IP camera setup I have as they are accessible via port forwarding if I set the firewall up.
