Please note: The following information are general guidelines. These may vary by network and router specifications. Contact
your Network Administrator or Internet Service Provider for additional information.
If you are not connecting to your DVR from within the same network, you will have to perform port forwarding on your router
to access the DVR externally, via the internet.
1. In the [Network] menu set "Network Type" to [Dynamic IP] and click [IP DETECT]. The system will automatically
detect the correct settings for the network where the DVR is installed.
2. Once the system generates all the information based on your network requirements, change the Network Type to
Static and save all the changes as static.
For additional information, and to obtain a proper IP address, contact your network administrator or Internet
Service Provider.
3. Some internet service providers block port 80 in their customer's routers. Changing the web port number to 81 or
82 is recommended.
4. Access your router by entering its external IP address in your web browser. This information can be found by
running an ipconfig command on your computer's Command Prompt. The router's external IP address is the
GATEWAY address.
5. Check the DHCP settings in your router and setup the DVR for external connections by performing port
forwarding. It is highly recommended that you contact your Network Administrator for more information and proper
handling of your router. Port forwarding will tell the router that all data received via those specific ports, will be
redirected to the DVR. For the VMAX960H Core, you will need to port forward the two following ports:
