Port Forwarding

To allow remote access to the DVR/NVR, port forwarding must be

configured on the router.

The Ideal Way to Network the DVR for Port Forwarding

You will need:

 A PC connected to the same router as the NVR/DVR

 The IP addresses of the NVR/DVR and Router (a.k.a. Gateway)

 The username and password for the router.

Step 1: Enter the IP address of the DVR/NVR into a web browser. This

should bring up the device’s web client, confirming that the

device is connected to the network.

Step 2: Enter the routers IP address into a web browser. When

prompted, enter the router’s user name and password.

Step 3: Go the port forwarding section of the router. Forward the

ports 80, 8000, & 8554 to the IP address of the NVR/DVR.

Step 4: Test the ports with canyouseeme.org to ensure that port

forwarding was successful. This also will show the outside

address of the router.

Please see the router’s manual or the following examples for

port forwarding configuration details.

How It Works

Port forwarding works a lot like USPS mail forwarding. With mail

forwarding, you tell the post office to forward your mail to another

address. With port forwarding, you tell the router to forward

information to another device, in this case an NVR or DVR.

A router is a network device with at least two IP addresses. Its job is to

connect two or more networks together. For an internet

router/modem, the two networks are the internet and the local

network. When you use port forwarding, you are really using the

outside (WAN/internet) address of the router; the router seamlessly

connects you to the NVR/DVR.

Port forwarding must be configured on the internet router. Any

connecting routers must also be configured. If something happens to

one of these devices, remote access is lost.
