Changing the HTTP Port
For added security, we strongly
recommend changing HTTP port 80 on
the system to
any desired port
—the
port
must
not blocked by your Internet
service provider (ISP).
NOTE: Pl
ease contact your ISP for
c
omplete information on
available ports.
If you change the default port on the system from 80
to a different value, you MUST enter http:// and a
colon and the port number after the DDNS or IP
address when connecting to the DVR using a web
browser.
For example, if you change your port number from
80 to 85, you MUST enter a colon and port 85 after
the DDNS address (for example,
http://
tomsmith.lorexddns.net:85
).
