5.2.10 Viewing your DVR over the Internet (UPNP)

Now that you have set up the DVR on your local network, you will want to access your camera

from a remote location over the Internet. This DVR supports a technology called Universal

Plug and Play (UPnP). With UPNP your DVR will automatically open the necessary ports in

your router to allow remote access to your DVR. To make use of this feature your router

will also need to support UPnP. Most modern routers support this; however, check your

router manufacturer’s website just to make sure.

A. Make sure that your DVR is plugged directly into your router with an Ethernet cord.

B. Log into your DVR’s network setup: Main Menu  Network

C. Verify that the TCP/IP Type is set to DHCP.

D. Ensure UPNP is enabled and leave the default ports as:

Media Port: 9000

Web Port: 1024

Server Port: 18000 (Located in the Mobile section)

E. Your router will usually have UPNP enabled by default, but just to make sure, log into your

router to check it is (refer to manufacturer guidelines on how to do this)

F. Once both your DVR and router have UPNP enabled, you are now able to view your DVR

from any computer with high speed Internet access. To do this you need to type your

external IP address in the Internet Browser address bar followed by :1024

Note: There are 2 types of external IP addresses:

1. Static – Your external IP address will never change, even if you turn your broadband modem

off and on.

2. Dynamic – Your external IP address may be likely to change several times a week.

If you want to access your camera from outside your network and have a Dynamic IP address,

you will have to re-check your external IP address every time you connect to the internet.

You can ask your ISP if they can provide you with a static IP address. DDNS allows you to

enter a normal style internet address into your browser and it will find your camera, even if

you have a dynamic IP address. For more information on how to set up DDNS, refer to the

How to setup DDNS in the supplied user manual.
