After you have configured the Network Settings, you will need to forward
the necessary ports to be able to view the DVR over the Internet from
anywhere in the world.
Refer to your router’s documentation to see how port forwarding works for
that device. This process may be called the Port Forwarding, Port Mapping,
or Virtual Server.
Below are some general considerations to keep in mind to make sure that
the appropriate ports are forwarded:
1. Go to http://www.whatismyip.com. Your IP address will appear at
the top of the page. This is your public IP address.
2. Open the Internet Explorer browser, enter http://youripaddress and
then press Enter.
3. Log in into your router using your user name and password.
(Contact your Internet Service Provider if you are unsure about the
login information.)
4. Once you have logged in to your router, go to the section indicated
to forward your ports.
