Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding
To allow remote access to the DVR/NVR, port forwarding must be
configured on the router.
The Ideal Way to Network the DVR for Port Forwarding
You will need:
A PC connected to the same router as the NVR/DVR
The
of the NVR/DVR and Router (a.k.a. Gateway)
The username and password for the router.
Step 1: Enter the IP address of the DVR/NVR into a web browser. This
should bring up the device’s web client, confirming that the
device is connected to the network.
Step 2: Enter the routers IP address into a web browser. When
prompted, enter the router’s user name and password.
Step 3: Go the port forwarding section of the router. Forward the
ports 80, 8000, & 8554 to the IP address of the NVR/DVR.
Step 4: Test the ports with
to ensure that port
forwarding was successful. This also will show the outside
address of the router.
Please see the router’s manual or the following examples for
port forwarding configuration details.

How It Works
Port forwarding works a lot like USPS mail forwarding. With mail
forwarding, you tell the post office to forward your mail to another
address. With port forwarding, you tell the router to forward
information to another device, in this case an NVR or DVR.
A router is a network device with at least two IP addresses. Its job is to
connect two or more networks together. For an internet
router/modem, the two networks are the internet and the local
network. When you use port forwarding, you are really using the
outside (WAN/internet) address of the router; the router seamlessly
connects you to the NVR/DVR.
Port forwarding must be configured on the internet router. Any
connecting routers must also be configured. If something happens to
one of these devices, remote access is lost.
