name from a DDNS service provider be assigned, and the router setup for port forwarding. Follow the steps within this
section to configure the NVR(s) for Remote Access.
Recommendation:
Our free Wirepathdns service is fast to set up right through the NVR interface
– no PC required – and it
provides maximum uptime thanks to redundant USA-based servers located across the country.

configured to use this feature from the NVR interface.
