VIEWING YOUR DVR OUTSIDE OF YOUR NETWORK

Now that you have successfully viewed your DVR and cameras from a computer it is time to set up your router to view the DVR while at a remote location. This process is called Port Forwarding and you can find detailed instructions on how to complete the required steps at http://portforward.com.

*Port forwarding is required if you want to view the DVR from a computer that is not connected to the same router.

Configuring your Router to view the DVR Externally (Port Forwarding):

Port forwarding is a necessary step that opens a path on your home/business network to allow you to view your DVR video feed from outside your network (over the Internet).

There are hundreds of makes and brands of routers on the market, you can find step by step instructions on http://www.portforward.com.

*Easy to follow Networking Video Guides are available under the support section of the company website (http://SVAT.com).

Once on http://www.portforward.com:

•Select your router make and model from the list of DVRs

•Skip any advertisements that may be seen by clicking “Click here to skip this advertisement…” in the top right hand corner

•You will see a list of various applications. Find a link for any DVR or IP camera and click on it. If you cannot find a DVR of Camera link, you can pick any application, the instructions are all very similar

•Follow the instructions using the HTTP port number assigned to the DVR

•By default the http port is 80 and can be verified by checking the NETWORK SETUP section in the Menu of the DVR

Once the port forwarding is complete you are ready to view your DVR from a remote location

•If you are going to be viewing your cameras on your mobile device you will also need to port forward the RTSP port and RTP port range. These ports are listed on the RTSP SETUP section of the DVR. By default port 554 and a port range of 1024-10000 need to be forwarded to the Internal IP address of the DVR. See “3G MOBILE DEVICE SETUP” of the manual for more information

These instructions have been created without a stand alone firewall in place. If you have a firewall, please consult a computer systems technician to configure the firewall to allow the required ports to pass through it.

Note: Your router may require a user name and password. If you do not know the username or password, contact the person who setup your router. http://portforward.com will provide you with the router’s default user name and password.

FINDING YOUR EXTERNAL IP

The external IP address of the DVR is used to access the DVR from any remote location with Internet access. To find the external IP address of the DVR go to www.whatsmyip.org or www.showmyip.com using a computer that is connected to the same router as the DVR. The web sites will display your external IP address in the top of the web page for your reference.
