Appendix B: Setting up Remote Viewing
How Do I Find My IP and MAC addresses?
The IP and MAC address of your system are necessary for DDNS setup. DDNS allows you to view
and control your system from a remote location.
To find your IP and MAC address:
• Press Enter on the r
emote control or front panel.
• Left-click to open the Navigation Bar. Login if prompted. Click to open the System Info
screen.
Finding Your External IP Address
If you wish to find your external IP address, you can use a third-party website such as 
http://whatismyip.org
Your external IP address can also be found within your router settings. Refer to your router’s user
guide for
further details.
How Do I Enable Port Forwarding?
You need to enable port forwarding on your router to allow for external communications with your
system for the following ports:
• 80 (HT
TP Port)
• 35000 (Client Port)
Computers, NVRs, and other devices inside your network can
only communicate directly with each
other within the internal network. Computers and systems outside your network cannot directly
communicate with these devices. When a system on the internal network needs to send or receive
information from a system outside the network (i.e. from the Internet), the information is sent to
the router.
