Ports and Firewalls
Several ports are needed to transmit data for NVR. Please properly configure the firewalls
on the Server PC, Workstation PC and the routers in between. Blockage in any point of the
way will prevent NVR from functioning properly.
If you encounter any connection issue, please make sure that you have enabled these ports
to pass through. Even if your firewall is turned off. Occasionally, you may need to allow
unlimited access through firewall for NVR core services. This is required if you use RTP
protocol for communication. You can go to Control Panel → Windows Firewall → Allowed
Programs to add the following two programs to the allowed list:
C:\Program Files\NVR\ActiveStreamEngine\ActiveStreamingService.exe
C:\Program Files\NVR\ActiveScheduleService\ActiveScheduleService.exe
Sample screenshots from Windows 7 are shown below. The steps are similar in other
