Step 3: The following setup steps are the same as steps 6-8 of Chapter 6.1.1 on LAN.
2. Connect the DVR to internet through router
Step 1: Enter into the DVR’s Main MenuSetupNetwork configurationNetwork to
input IP address, subnet mask and gateway, or tick off "Obtain an IP address

In this paper, we take Linksys router for example. Specify the IP address and port to
be forwarded from the internal/local IP address of your DVR to the Internet in router
"Port Range Forwarding" of "Applications & Gaming". Each DVR has two ports. (LAN
IP address of DVR can be added to the DMZ host, different router’s configuration is
different, and user can refer to the router manual.)
After mapping the port, user can check the WAN IP address in the “running” of router,
directly access to the DVR through the WAN IP address and HTTP port, such as:
http://113.108.119.20:HTTP port number. Then enter into the control download
interface.

Settings, tick off “DDNS”, select DDNS Server, enter the user name, password and
host domain name registered in DDNS server (refer to network configuration), user
