Remote Access Procedure
For the purposes of this guide, we will outline the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) method for
setting up remote web access. For this method, your DVR should still be connected to your
router and your computer should also be on the same network as your router – but only for the
initial setup. Afterwards to enable remote access, the computer should be connected to a
network that other than the one connected to the DVR.
1. Login to your DVR, open the main menu then go to Network -> Advanced.
2. Ensure that the checkbox next to “UPNP enable” is checked (it should be checked by
default).
3. Find where it says “Server Port”, and you should notice that the port number is set to
9000. You want to change this to 9999.
4. Find where it says “HTTP Port”, and you should notice that the port number is set to 80.
Change this number to 8888.
5. Once you have completed steps 4 and 5, please click the “Apply” button down below to
save your settings. When it asks you to confirm, click “OK”.
6. On a computer, open a web browser, then go to Google.com and search “what is my ip”.
Google will return your “Public IP Address” at the top of the first search results page (you
will not need to click anything after hitting “Enter” to see this). Write this number down
and have it ready for the next step.
7. Open up a new tab or browser window and type your Public IP address into the browser
window, and then add a colon and your HTTP port number. It should look something like
this: http://55.555.5.555:8888.
8. Install the plugins onto your browser.
9. Once installed, enter in your login credentials and click Log In.
10. Save this page as a bookmark and you can try it out when you are on another network
away from the location of the DVR.
Note: Remote access does not work when connected to the same network as the DVR, whether
it be wirelessly or through a wired connection. Local setup will have to be configured separately
to enable local access. Please see the steps on the previous page for information on how to do
this.
