DDNS SETUP
DDNS service enables the DVR to connect to a server that does not have a fixed IP address. Register a User Name a
Password on a DDNS server and it will connect to the DVR system (dynamic IP or private IP) when requested.
After DDNS is configured, the router to which the DVR is connected needs to be configured to forward ports 80 and 2000 to
the IP address of the DVR. For further information on this process, please consult the router manual or contact the router
manufacturer’s technical support, Internet service provider or OpenEye. You may also visit portforward.com for assistance.
If multiple DVRs exist on the same network, the ports must be set to a unique value for each DVR. The ports can be
changed in CLIENT under NETWORK SETUP on the DVR. Modified ports should be reflected in the port forwarding
settings on the router.
Once DDNS and port forwarding have been configured, the DVR will be accessible from any remote site by entering the
HOSTNAME into the address bar of Internet Explorer or the IP address field in Remote Center and Radius.
Note
This feature may require an outside service contract with a 3
rd
party provider.
