Networking & Port Forwarding
Which ports do I need to forward?
For each port type (HTTP, RTSP, and server), you need a different
port number for each recorder on your network.
What is the difference between the port types?
HTTP (default 80): This handles your Internet access, both
incoming and outgoing. Once forwarded, add a colon and the new
port number to your URL to access the system.
HTTPS (default 443): This is a more secure system for Internet
access. You’ll need to generate a security certificate to use this
protocol. Once forwarded, add a colon and the new port number to
your URL to access the system.
RTSP (default 554): This is needed to view live feeds from the DVR.
It is also used if you wish to pull RTSP streams from IP cameras
directly plugged into the NVR.
Server (default 8000): The server port enables the use of the Luma
mobile app. If you wish to access your recorder remotely through
your mobile device, you must forward this port on your router.
If I change the default port, how do I find my
recorder?
When entering the URL of your recorder, add a colon and the port
number (e.g., MyHome.LumaDNS.com:8212 ).
If you cannot remember the port, use the Luma Utility to find the
recorder again.
The forwarded ports on my router show as closed.
Verify that your ISP has not installed a modem/router combo
between your router and the ISP connection. If so, the combo may
need to have its ports forwarded as well. Some modems issued by
providers have built-in router features that can be disabled (called
bridging), which is the easiest solution.
This document cannot lead you through bridging. Check with the
ISP or modem manufacturer for more information.
