If off-network access to the NVR is desired, you will need to forward
ports in the router. Due to the innumerable different routers on the
market, it is impossible to provide specific instructions. Refer to your
router’s manual or manufacturer for assistance. For simplicity, this
guide assumes the NVR’s default port numbers are being utilized.
Ports needing to be forwarded to the NVR’s IP address are as follows:
HTTP PORT:
80
TCP PORT:
37777
UDP PORT:
37778
WHAT IS P2P?
P2P, or Peer to Peer, technology elimates the need to
forward ports inside of your router and makes connecting to your
DVR/NVR as easy as scanning a QR Code on your mobile device. As
long as your DVR/NVR is connected to the internet, it can be accessed
from anywhere in the world using a mobile device or CMS software.
In traditional DVR systems, you need to forward ports and set
up a DDNS account but this is not nessesary any more. When you
enable P2P on your device, it connects to a centralized server and
registers it’s IP address in a reverse DVR-to-server style connection.
Your mobile device or software then connects to the same centralized
server and connects to your device directly so you can view and
playback video.
HOW TO ENABLE P2P
Once you have your NVR connected to your network, you can start the
P2P connection process.
