CONFIRMING THAT PORTS ARE OPENED
Like your NVR, your cameras feature UPnP technology that allows them to communicate
with the network and through to the Internet. Two "ports" (think of them as doorways through
the firewall) are used; 85 and 9008. You will want to verify that these have been automatically
opened by using an online tool at www.canyouseeme.org using the same computer.
STEP 6. Enter "85" into the box labeled
"What Port?"
STEP 7. Click on the Check button.
STEP 8. You should see a green
"Success" message.
STEP 9. Repeat for port 9008.
This website will also display your Public IP address near the top of the page above the
box where you entered your port number. This is the number which you will use to access
the camera using the NVR, a web browser or your mobile device from outside of your local
network (away from the building in which your DVR is located).
You will enter this Public IP address into the NVR (see next page).
