Below is a step-by-step walkthrough that details how to setup for Remote Web Access using UPnP and
DDNS:
1. Login to your NVR, open the main menu then go to Management -> Network.
2. Using the left-hand menu, go to the Connection menu, and write down the HTTP port. It is
recommended to ensure the port number is at least 5 digits long to prevent any port conflicts. If need
be, change the port to a 5digit number that is less than 65535, note the number down, and click save
before proceeding to the next step.
3. The system will prompt you to reset the NVR. Click OK and wait for the NVR to restart.
4. Login to your NVR, open the main menu then go to Management -> Network.
5. Click the Connections menu item on the left-hand menu and ensure that the HTTP port has changed.
6. Click the DDNS menu item on the left-hand menu, click the enable checkbox, and then click the Apply
button on the bottom right.
7. Write down the entire Domain Name field, including the white text that says.quickddns.com 8. Click the
UPnP menu item on the left-hand menu and click the enable radio button at the top.
9. While in the UPnP menu, double click the HTTP port, and change both the internal and external HTTP
ports to match the number that was used in step 2.
10. Uncheck the last 4 checkboxes in the PAT table on the UPnP menu.
11. Click apply and ensure the UPnP status field says “Searching.”
12. Exit this menu to go back to the main menu, then re-enter the UPnP menu, and ensure the UPnP status
says “Success”.
13. Open a web browser and enter in the DDNS domain name address from step 3, enter in a colon, then
type the port number from step 4 on to the end.
a. For example, if the DDNS domain name is http://abc123456789.quickddns.com and your HTTP Port is
33333, the URL would be http://abc123456789.quickddns.com:33333
14. The browser may prompt you to install a plugin. Click install to download the plugin, and then click on
the plugin installation file to install the plugin.
15. If the browser prompts you to allow the plugin to work on the computer, hit Allow to ensure the plugin
can run successfully.
16. Enter in login details into the username and password fields.
17. Click the WAN option, and then click Login.
18. Once the main interface opens, click the plug icons next to each camera on the list on the left-hand side,
