4.5.5. PathFinder™
PathFinder uses STUN communication to assist with the encryption and stream security
between the viewer and the DVR when connected using DW’s connection service. This
connection method offers an alternative means to view video from the DVR over a remote
connection without the need for port forwarding.
• USE PATHFINDER: Enable this setting to activate the PathFinder service for the DVR.
Click SAVE to apply the changes.
• PATHFINDER ID: A unique 21-character alphanumerical identification number will be
generated for the DVR. This ID can be either used to connect with a web browser
(www.ezpathfinder.com/p2p) or by being manually entered into the DW Mobile Plus
mobile viewing application.
• QR CODE: Users can scan the QR code using the DW Mobile Plus or VMAX Plus
mobile viewing applications to automatically enter the PathFinder ID into the site
settings while registering the DVR within the mobile application.
• STATUS: Users can check the DVR’s PathFinder status at the bottom of the screen.
