• It is highly recommended to set your DVR
up to use a fixed IP address. For more
information, see “Appendix B: Assigning a
Fixed IP to your DVR” on page 104.
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: Please contact your ISP for
complete 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).
