Port Forwarding Remote Access Setup
Port Forwarding is an alternative method to setting up remote access for the NVR. This method should only
be used if the UPnP/DDNS Remote Access method did not work.
Below is a step-by-step walkthrough that details how to setup for Remote Web Access using UPnP:
1).
Login to your NVR, open the main menu then go to Menu -> Network.
2). Open the Lan TCP/IP settings screen.
3).
By default, the NVR has the mode set to Static. Click the radio button next to DHCP to change this to
DHCP. The IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Preferred DNS, and Alternate DNS should all change
to 0s.
4). Click Save to save these settings. This should now open the main menu.
5).
From the main menu, go to Menu -> Network.
6).
On the TCP/IP settings screen, the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Preferred DNS, and
Alternate DNS should all be populated.
7). Click the radio button next to Static, to change the mode to Static.
8).
Write down the IP Address that is currently in the IP address field.
9). Click the Apply button.
10).
go to the WAN menu, and write down the HTTP port number. It is recommended to ensure that these
port numbers are at least 5 digits long to prevent any port conflicts. If need be, change each of these port
numbers to a 5-digit number that is less than 65535, note the numbers down, and click save before
proceeding to the next step.
11).
Write down the manufacturer name, brand, and model name for the router that the NVR is connected
to, and then proceed to portforward.com on your web browser.
12).
Open the port forwarding guide section on the left-hand side menu.
13). Find the router brand name in the list and click it.
14). Find the router model number and click it.
15). Click the Default Guide link near the middle of the page.
16).
This guide will help you take the step necessary to port forward on the router. Follow these steps, and
then return to the NVR.
17).
Login to your NVR, open the main menu then go to menu -> Network.
