information displayed in the system. Every router's port forwarding protocols are unique. For
more information on how to port forward your specific device, please visit portforward.com or
refer to the user manual for your specific router.
Note: When port forwarding the NVR in your router, make sure to use the TCP, UDP and
updated HTTP protocols displayed in the NVR. If DDNS is not an option, the device can be
accessed remotely using the public IP address for your network and the HTTP port used that
was port forwarded in your router. To locate your public IP address and verify the connectivity of
your system, please visit: canyouseeme.org

example, the Domain Name will be in the following format: mynewnvr.amcrestddns.com
