Setting up NVR Remote Access (away from home)

For the purposes of this guide, we will outline the most common method for setting up web
access. Using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and Dynamic Domain Name Server (DDNS)
functionality is the easiest way to setup stable remote access. For this method, your router
should support the UPnP networking protocol and the protocol should be enabled. Please note
that most common routers will support this feature. Please refer to your router‟s manufacturer
documentation to learn how to enable UPnP on your router.
To view a video on how to setup the NVR for UPnP/DDNS remote access go to
http://amcrest.com/videos, click the Videos tab, then find the video titled
"HDCVI - Remote Access Setup for PC (UPnP)".
Note: This is not an HDCVI system, but the same setup process outlined in the video applies.
Before performing this setup process, it is recommended that you are familiar with or have
completed the steps in both part 3 „Console Setup‟ and part 5 of this guide: Computer Access
Setup > Setting up NVR Local Access.
Below is a step-by-step walkthrough that details how to setup the NVR for
