entering in order to access the DVR from outside your network (over the internet).

Test Your External IP
Now that you know your external IP address, you can perform a test to ensure your DVR is
accessible from outside your network (over the internet).
1. Open Internet Explorer, and in the address bar type in the EXTERNAL IP address,
followed by a colon and your port number (default is port 2000). It should similar to the
following 2 examples:14.14.243.113 :2000 OR 14.14.243.113:2000
2. Press ENTER, and your DVR’s login window should pop up. If it does not pop up, your
router is not properly forwarding the necessary port. This could be due to a number of
problems including incorrect settings, presence of a rewall, or a DSL modem that has
its own IP address.
4. Select the Virtual Server tab.
• Enable the Virtual server
• In the Name eld type in “DVR”
• In the Private IP eld enter the DVR’s IP address.
• In the Protocol eld, select Both (This will enable both TCP and UDP).

to port 2000. Use port 2000 unless you have a reason to change the DVR to another port
(not recommended).
• In the Public port re-enter the port number you entered in the private port eld (e.g. 2000).
• Select the Schedule to Always.
• Ensure that the Virtual Server (or forwarding that is being set-up) is set to ENABLED.
When complete, select the Apply button located at the bottom of the page to save your
