CCTV Security Bypass Training Needed

I own several small CCTV test-rigs and want to understand, from the ground up, how intruders actually compromise them so that I can better defend my own and my clients’ installations. My focus is the hacking and security-bypass side of surveillance systems, not general setup or routine maintenance, and I am starting from a beginner level.

I’m looking for a mentor who routinely works with DVR/NVR firmware exploits, RTSP stream extraction, credential brute-forcing, ONVIF misconfigurations and related network-based attack vectors. The idea is to walk me through real-world tactics in a fully controlled, ethical testing environment that I will provide. We will screen-share or use prerecorded walkthroughs, then I’ll reproduce each step on my lab kit while you review my results.

Deliverables I expect
• A structured learning roadmap with clear session goals and required tools (e.g. Kali Linux, Nmap, Wireshark, custom scripts).
• Live or recorded demonstrations for every technique on the roadmap.
• Hands-on assignments and short quizzes so I can prove I’ve grasped each exploit and the corresponding mitigation.
• A final assessment where I successfully compromise, document and then harden one of my own DVRs.

All activity must remain within legal and ethical boundaries and be limited to equipment I own or have explicit permission to test. If this fits your expertise in surveillance-system security, let’s schedule an initial session and outline the syllabus.
