6. SETTING UP NETWORK ACCESS Networking a DVR requires 3 steps: 1. Assign an IP address, Default Gateway, Subnet Mask, and a DNS server (NOTE: DNS, not DDNS) to the DVR 2. Forward the appropriate ports on the router (Port Forwarding). 3. Register DDNS (DDNS registration is required only if the public IP address is Dynamic).
After assigning the IP information, click on the “MORE SETTINGS” tab. The “MORE SETTINGS” tab contains the ports that need to be forwarded for remote access. The SERVER PORT is responsible for the MOBILE APP and CLIENT SOFTWARE log-in. The HTTP PORT is responsible for WEB BROWSER log-in. The RTSP PORT is responsible for VIDEO/AUDIO STREAMING. The HTTP PORT and the SERVER PORT can be changed if desired, in order to avoid conflicts with the ISP or the existing network configuration. www.hikvision.
Port Forwarding After assigning the IP information to the DVR, connect a computer to the same router that the DVR is connected to (wired connection is recommended, to avoid complications). Log into the ROUTER, and proceed with PORT FORWARDING. For PORT FORWARDING assistance contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) or the router manufacturer. Also refer to www.portforward.com for port forwarding step-by-step instructions. Please be aware that Hikvision USA is not associated with www.portforward.
Enable DDNS and create a DOMAIN NAME EZVIZ is used for a connection through a secure server. In this case port forwarding is not required. Contact Technical Support for detailed information After the changes have been made, press “APPLY.” A “SUCCESS” message will pop up. If the Domain Name does not meet the acceptable criteria, and/or is already registered, an error message will appear (the domain name cannot contain upper case characters, begin with a number, spaces, special characters…). www.hikvision.
