Accessing your DVR Remotely

Setting up remote connectivity allows you to view your DVR from any computer or
compatible mobile device with internet access.
To set up remote connectivity with your DVR, you must:
1 Port Forward ports 80, 9000, and 1025 on your router to your DVR's IP address
2 Create a DDNS account
3 Enable DDNS on the DVR
4 Enter the DDNS information into the DVR

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 Lorex 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 100.
• Manually port forward the required ports on your router to your DVR's IP address by
following 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.
