Introduction

Internal HTTP port (on the recorder): 80
Internal HTTPS port (on the recorder): 443
Internal RTSP port (on the recorder): 554
Your router's IP address, which is displayed on the WAN
interface, is used as the external IP address.
To open the recorder's web interface via remote connec-
tion, enter the following URL in the navigation bar of the
browser:
https://external-router-IP:443
The externally forwarded RTSP port is automatically
used by the web interface and does not have to be spec-
ified again.
Note
We recommend changing the default ports for port
forwarding in order to avoid an overlap with other
services (for example, port 443 is likely to be the
same port used by the web interface of the router
for external access). This also makes it easier to
set up forwarding for other devices later.
Setting up the ABUS server (IPv4)
Internet providers generally disconnect the internet con-
nection of the router for a few seconds every day. During
this process, the router is assigned a new IP address.
This means that for remote access to the web interface
of the recorder, the new valid IP address of the router
(WAN interface) has to be used.
In order to avoid having to check this address on a daily
basis, ABUS offers a free DDNS service: the ABUS
server. With this service, the router's external IP address
is assigned a host name on the server, which is matched
with the current IP and port information on a regular ba-
sis.
Access to the recorder web interface then takes place
via the ABUS server host name:
http://meinrekorder.u21783.abus-server.com:1500
Go to
and set up your recorder.
The ABUS server only supports IPv4 addresses.
Instructions on how to set up your recorder for the ABUS
server are stored in the downloads area for the recorder
on
DDNS for IPv6 (IPv6)
The supported DDNS providers for the ABUS embedded
recorder currently only allow for IPv4 DDNS synchronisa-
tion. Another service is currently required to run DDNS
synchronisation for IPv6. Because, unlike with IPv4,
every device (recorder) with IPv6 receives a unique
global IP address, the current IPv6 address of the re-
corder must be transmitted to the DDNS provider when
using DDNS for IPv6.
You can do this via your router, for example, if your
router supports this type of service.
AVM/Fritzbox/MyFritz recommendation:
The "MyFritz" service can detect all global IPv6 ad-
dresses of connected devices and provide them via the
MyFritz service as a DDNS host name.
Note
Network service ports (HTTP(S) and RTSP) must
be opened to use the web interface on the re-
corder with IPv6 as well.
Access to DS Lite connections (IPv6)
Many internet providers use DS Lite to switch their cus-
tomers' connections to IPv6 access. With DS Lite your
router does not have full IPv4 access to the internet. The
IPv4 address that is assigned to the router is segmented
by what is known as a "CGN" (Carrier Grate NAT). This
means that an additional NAT is directly connected by
the provider for IPv4. As a result, NAT configuration (port
forwarding) for IPv4 is no longer possible on the local
router and therefore incoming IPv4 queries are discarded
directly at the provider end (CGN). It is then no longer
possible to access your local devices externally via IPv4.
Its is highly likely, however, that remote access to your
recorder's web interface will take place on an IPv4 net-
work (receiving point). Additional services must be used
to allow external access in such cases.
