DDNS Setup—Access your DVR
Remotely over the Internet
22
Setting up DDNS connectivity allows you to view your DVR from any computer or compati-
ble mobile device with Internet access.
NOTE
Except where noted, the instructions below are the same for PC and Mac.
To set up remote connectivity with your DVR, you must:
1. Port forward the HTTP and Client ports (default: 80 and 9000 ) on your router to your
DVR’s IP address.
2. Create a DDNS account.
3. Enable DDNS on the DVR.
4. Test the remote connection by entering your DDNS address in a web browser.
22.1 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:
• Use the Easy Connect Auto Port Forwarding Wizard (PC only) to port forward the
required ports (see www.lorextechnology.com for details). For instructions on how to
use the Easy Connect Wizard, see the Easy Connect manual on
www.lorextechnology.com .
• Manually port forward the required ports on your router to your DVR’s IP address by fol-
lowing your router manufacturer’s instructions. For more information on port forwarding,
see the reference guides on
www.lorextechnology.com .
NOTE
If the above ports are not forwarded on your router, you will not be able to access your system remotely.
22.2 Step 2 of 4: Create a DDNS Account
Lorex 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 con-
nect to your system remotely. You must create a DDNS account in the same network as
your DVR.
To setup your free Lorex DDNS account:
