Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding allows computers and devices outside of your network to communicate with the DVR. You will need to forward
ports 80, 100 and 9000 from the attached router to the IP address of the DVR. Gather the make, model and IP address of the
router. If you changed the default router login, then you will need to know the user name and password for that router. There are 3
Steps to follow:
Step 1: How to Determine the IP Address of the DVR
NOTE! The DVR and PC must be connected to the same router and both must be
powered up before proceeding.
1. Select DHCP from the TYPE drop down box in the NETWORK SETUP
Menu. You should see the message “Getting IP...” The router will assign an
IP address.
2. Restart the DVR.
3. Once the DVR has restarted, reopen the Network Setup window and the
IP address of the DVR will now be listed. This is the address to which
you will forward ports 80 and 9000. If you plan to access your DVR via a
smartphone, you will need to forward port 100 as well.
