Client Port
This port is used to transmit images from the DVR. It is recommended that this port remain on port 9000.
HTTP Port
This port is used to initiate communication to the DVR. The HTTP port is entered at the end of the IP address
to connect to the DVR. If using the default port (80), your Internet browser will automatically add port 80
at the end of the address, even though it may not be visible. If using a port other than 80, you will need to
add that port to the end of the IP address when typing it into the web browser. (Example: If using port 5000
and the IP address is 192.168.1.103 you would type http://192.168.1.103:5000 in the address bar of Internet
Explorer). To change the port you are using, follow these steps:
1. Select the box next to the port you would like to
change and a keyboard will appear.

select the ENTER key. The ports cannot be the
same number
