Internet Explorer (PC) or Safari (Mac). The DDNS address must include http:// , the name
of your DDNS URL, followed by .lorexddns.net, a colon, and then the HTTP port number of
your DVR.
For example:
Once you have entered your DDNS address into Internet Explorer or Safari, enter the DVR
user name
and password at the login screen and click Login.
NOTE: T
o log in remotely, the default user name is admin. The password is left blank.
NOTE: If y
ou are having difficulty logging into your system using Internet Explorer, it is
recommended to use the Client Software provided on the CD or as a free download from
