Accessing your DVR Remotely

Setting up remote connectivity allows you to view your DVR from any computer or compatible mobile device with internet access.

To set up remote connectivity with your DVR, you must:

1Port Forward ports 80, 9000, and 1025 on your router to your DVR’s IP address

2 Create a DDNS account

3Enable DDNS on the DVR

4Enter the DDNS information into the DVR

Step 1 of 4: Port Forwarding

You must port forward ports 80, 9000, and 1025 on your router before you can remotely connect to your system. There are several methods to port forward your router:

•Use the Lorex Auto Port Forwarding Wizard (PC only) to port forward the required ports (see CD for details). For instructions on how to use the Auto Port Forwarding Wizard, see “Appendix E: Internet Setup Wizard (PC only)” on page 100.

•Manually port forward the required ports on your router to your DVR’s IP address by following your router manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTE: If the above ports are not forwarded on your router, you will not be able to access your system remotely.

Step 2 of 4: Create a DDNS Account

Lorex 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 connect to your system remotely. You must create a DDNS account in the same network as your

DVR.
