1. P2P #
A peer-to-peer (P2P) network is a type of decentralized and distributed network architecture in which individual nodes in the network (called “peers”) act as both suppliers and consumers of resources, in contrast to centralized client–server model where client nodes request access to resources provided by central servers. Networks in which all computers have equal status are called peer-to-peer or P2P networks.
In a peer-to-peer network, tasks (such as searching for files or streaming audio/video) are shared amongst multiple interconnected peers which each make a portion of their resources (such as processing power, disk storage or network bandwidth) directly available to other network participants, with no need for centralized coordination by servers.
With the P2P enabled on NVR, you can add the NVR and view the live video over WLAN remotely without doing any port forwarding on the router.
