You must port forward the HTTP port (default: 80) and Client port (default: 35000) on your
router to your system's IP address before you can remotely connect to your system. There
are several methods to port forward your router:
• Use the Auto Port Forwarding Wizard (PC only) to port forward the required ports
(see www.lorextechnology.com
Wizard manual on www.lorextechnology.com.
• Manually port forward the required ports on your router to your system's IP address by
following your router manufacturer's instructions. For more information on port forward-
ing, see the reference guides on www.lorextechnology.com.
NOTE
If the above ports are not forwarded on your router, you will not be able to access your system remotely.

18.2.2 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 con-
nect to your system remotely. You must create a DDNS account in the same network as
your system.
To setup your free Lorex DDNS account:
