Setting up your DVR for Remote Connectivity

Step 1 of 4: Port Forwarding

You 

must

 port forward the HTTP and Client ports

 

(default: 

80

 and 

9000

) on your router to 

your DVR’s IP address before you can remotely connect to your system. There are several 
methods to port forward your router:

• Manually port forward the required ports on your router to your DVR’s IP address by 

following your router manufacturer’s instructions. For more information on port 
forwarding, see the reference guides on 

www.digimerge.com

.

• Use the 

Auto Port Forwarding Wizard

 (PC only) to port forward the required ports (visit 

www.digimerge.com

 for the Wizard software and manual).

NOTE: 

If the above ports are not forwarded on your router, you will not be able to access your 
system remotely.

Step 2 of 4: Create a DDNS Account

FLIR offers a free DDNS service for use with your system. A DDNS account allows you to 
set up a web site address that points back to your local network. This allows you to connect 
to your system remotely. 

You must create a DDNS account in the same network as your 

DVR.

1. In your browser, go to
