Port Forwarding

After you have configured the Network Settings, you will now need to

forward the necessary ports to be able to view the DVR over the Internet

from anywhere in the world.

Refer to the manual/documentation of your router to see the process of port

forwarding for your router. This process may be called the Port Forwarding,

Port Mapping, or Virtual Server.

Below are some general considerations to keep in mind to ensure the

appropriate ports are forwarded correctly.

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 and enter http://youripaddress

and then press enter.

3. Login 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 into your router. Go into the section

indicated to forward your ports.
