What is port forwarding?
It is a port mapping function of <
Router’s WAN (Internet) IP: Port
> to <
DVR’s IP: Port
>, that helps opening a
communication channel between inside and outside of the private LAN
Since one DVR uses 2 ports for communication, port forwarding setup for both 2 ports should be configured.

If only <HTTP Port> is configured for port forwarding:
Accessing through the web browser is possible but video is not received since the <
Device Port
> for video data communication is
not configured for port forwarding.
If only <Device Port> is configured for port forwarding:
Accessing through the web browser is impossible since the <
HTTP Port
> for the communication is not configured for port
forwarding.
In the below, port forwarding methods for each router are explained.
For other routers not guided herein, refer to the user manual of the router.
