Port
The port settings regulate how you connect with your recorder over
the Internet.
HTTP Port is used to access the recorder through an Internet
browser. This port defaults to 80. We recommend changing it to an
easy to remember alternative. For example, you could append the
last two digits of your IP address. Thus if your IP address ended in
.242, you could change the port to 8042. Changing the port number
like this makes Internet attacks harder to execute. However, if you
wish to access your device remotely, you must also forward this port
on your router.
RTSP Port stands for real time streaming protocol. You can leave
this at its default unless you want to stream live video to external
multiple devices, all from one common DDNS address. In that
case, consult your IT admin. RTSP creates one-to-one connections;
remote devices must request the stream and be admitted.
If you wish to access the live view of your DVR remotely, or pull
RTSP streams remotely, you must forward this port on your router.
HTTPS Port is for a secure HTTP setting. You can change this port if
you wish, however the security protocol does not provide a security
certificate. To acquire a certificate, see “HTTPS” on page 119.
Server Port is used for your mobile app. If you wish to access your
recorder remotely through your mobile device, you must forward
this port on your router.
