Step 1 of 4: Port Forwarding

You must port forward ports 80, 9000, and 1025 on your router before you can remotely

connect to your system. There are several methods to port forward your router:

• Use the L

orex Auto Port Forwarding Wizard (PC only) to port forward the required ports

(see CD for details). For instructions on how to use the Auto Port Forwarding Wizard, see

“Appendix E: Internet Setup Wizard (PC only)” on page 105.

• Manually port forward the required ports on your router to your DVR’s IP address by

ollowing your router manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTE: If the

above ports are not forwarded on your router, you will not be able to access

your system remotely.

Step 2 of 4: Create a DDNS Account

Lorex offers a free DDNS service for use with your system. A DDNS account allows you to

set up a web site address that points back to your local network. This allows you to connect

to your system remotely. You must create a DDNS account in the same network as your

DVR.
