After creating the account and choosing a host name, you will need to enter the account information in the router.
(A side note: The Avtech security DVRs also have the DDNS feature, however, in our setup the router is the
device that is keeping track of your external IP address, and therefore we need to use the DDNS function on the
router. If we use the DVR’s DDNS function, it will only update the server with your local IP address, that won’t be
useful at all.)
To setup the router, basically find the DDNS page in the router’s web interface and fill in your account username,
password and hostname. Please consult with your router’s user’s manual to find the DDNS page for your router.
For LINKSYS WRT54GL, the DDNS tab is under the setup tab.
After you have finished with all the steps, you can now access the DVR by using:
http://hostname:port#
There you have it, by following this guide you should have successfully configured your Avtech security DVR for
remote access. You will now be able to watch live video from your security camera(s), control the PTZ security
camera(s), download recordings, and change the DVR’s settings.
