18.3.1 Finding Your External IP Address
If you wish to find your external IP address, you can type what is my ip address into Goo-
gle or 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.
18.3.2 Enabling Port Forwarding
You need to enable port forwarding on your router to allow for external communications
with your system for the following ports:
• 80 (HTTP Port).
• 35000 (Client Port).
Network Example
When a computer on the Internet needs to send data to your internal network, it sends this
data to the external IP address of the Router. The Router then needs to decide where this
data is to be sent to. This is where setting up Port Forwarding becomes important.
Port Forwarding tells the router which device on the internal network to send the data to.
When you set up port forwarding on your Router, it takes the data from the external IP ad-
dress:port number and sends that data to an internal IP address:port number (i.e. Router
External IP 216.13.154.34:80 to NVR Internal IP 192.168.0.3:80).

forwarding.
