DDNS Setup (Advanced)18
Setting up DDNS connectivity allows you to view your recorder from any computer or compati-
ble mobile device with Internet access.
NOTE
The primary connectivity option for the recorder uses Lorex Client 13 to connect to your system over the Internet
without the need for port forwarding or DDNS registration.
• For instructions on using the app for smartphones and tablets, see 15 Connecting to Your System Using
Smartphone or Tablet Apps, page 63.
• For instructions on using the Lorex Client 13 software for PC and Mac computers, see 14 Connecting to Your
System Using PC or MAC, page 62
18.1 STEP 1: Port Forwarding
You must port forward the HTTP and Client ports (default: 80 and 9000) on your router to your
recorder’s IP address before you can remotely connect to your system using DDNS. There are
several methods to port forward your router:
• Use the Easy Connect Auto Port Forwarding Wizard (PC only) to port forward the re-
quired ports (see www.lorextechnology.com for details). For instructions on how to use the
Easy Connect Wizard, see the Easy Connect manual on www.lorextechnology.com.
• Manually port forward the required ports on your router to your recorder’s IP address by fol-
lowing your router manufacturer’s instructions. For more information on port forwarding, see
the reference guides on www.lorextechnology.com.
