Setting up Your DVR for Remote Connectivity

15.3 Accessing your DVR Remotely over the Internet
Setting up remote connectivity allows you to view your DVR from any computer or compat-
ible mobile device with Internet access.
Note
Except where noted, the instructions below are the same for PC and Mac.
To set up remote connectivity with your DVR, you must:
1. Port forward the HTTP and Client Ports (default: 80 and 9000) on your router to your
DVR’s IP address.
2. Create a DDNS account.
3. Enable DDNS on the DVR.
4. Test the remote connection by connecting to the DDNS address.
15.3.1 Step 1 of 4: Port Forwarding
You must port forward the HTTP and Client ports (default: 80 and 9000) on your router to
your DVR’s IP address before you can remotely connect to your system. There are several
methods to port forward your router:
• Manually port forward the required ports on your router to your DVR’s IP address by fol-
lowing your router manufacturer’s instructions. For more information on port forwarding,
see the reference guides on www.flirsecurity.com/pro.
• Use the Auto Port Forwarding Wizard (PC only) to port forward the required ports
(visit www.flirsecurity.com/pro for the Wizard software and manual).
Note
If the above ports are not forwarded on your router, you will not be able to access your system remotely.
15.3.2 Step 2 of 4: Create a DDNS Account
FLIR offers a free DDNS service for use with your system. A DDNS account allows you to
set up a web site address that points back to your local network. This allows you to con-
nect to your system remotely. You must create a DDNS account in the same network
as your DVR.
To setup your free FLIR DDNS account:
1. In your browser, go to http://ddns.myddns-flir.com and click Create Account.
