DDNS Setup (Advanced)20

Setting up DDNS connectivity allows you to view your recorder from any computer or compatible

mobile device with Internet access.

NOTE

The primary connectivity option for the recorder uses the Lorex Home app to connect to your system over the In-

ternet without the need for port forwarding or DDNS registration.

• For instructions on using the Lorex Home app for mobile devices, see 15 Connecting Remotely using the Lorex

Home Mobile App, page 80.

20.1 STEP 1: Port Forwarding

If you are using DDNS, you must port forward the HTTP and Client Ports (default: 80 and

35000) on your router to your recorder’s IP address before you can remotely connect to your

system:

• Manually port forward the required ports on your router to your recorder’s IP address by fol-

lowing your router manufacturer’s instructions. For more information on port forwarding, see

the reference guides on lorex.com.
