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

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. (Ex. If using port 2000 and the IP address is 192.168.1.103 you would type
http://192.168.1.103:2000 in the address bar of Internet Explorer).
To Change the port you are using:

and a keyboard will appear.

the ENTER key. The ports cannot be the same number
