DDNS Setup
To access your recorder from outside your local network, the recorder
needs a static IP address. Most internal providers do not supply this, but
AvertX provides you with a free service to solve this problem. Detailed
instructions and account information for setting up your free DDNS
service can be found on the Dynamic Domain Naming System (DDNS)
Information and Activation Insert included in your HDIP packaging.
1. Right-click in the Live screen and click Menu.
2. Click Network.
3. Click DDNS Setup.
4. Click Enable DDNS and select On.
5. Type the Host Name, DDNS Account, and DDNS Password in
the appropriate fields.
6. Select Send Update and click Yes.
7. Once the update is complete, the host name field will automatically
complete the full host name.
Note Port forwarding must be configured on both your recorder and
your router to allow remote access to the recorder from an
offsite location.
Port Forwarding
The IP address of your recorder is identifiable within your network. In
order to be able to access your recorder from a remote location through
the internet, you will need to configure your router to forward the
information from the internet to your recorder. The default port for your
recorder is 80. In order to forward information to this port, follow these
instructions.
Configure Your Router
Note These directions are generic. If you are not familiar with this
process, you should consult the user manual of your router.
Other references that might be useful are the manufacturer
website, support line, or a website such as PortForward.com.
1. Connect to the router through the router interface. Typically, this is
through a web interface by typing the IP address of the router in a
web browser.
2. Log in to the router with an administrative ID.
3. Access the Port Forwarding section in the router. Some may list
this as Port Triggering, Pinhole, Firewall Forwarding, or other
terms.
Note Some Internet Service Providers (ISP) do not allow users
access to Port Forwarding on the router. In this case you must
call your ISP and have them complete the port forwarding.
4. The default port (80) of the HDIP recorder will need to be forwarded
to the internal IP address of the recorder itself.
