Networking a NVR requires 3 steps:
1. Assign an IP address, Default Gateway, Subnet Mask, and a DNS server (Please note: DNS,
not DDNS) to the NVR
2. Forward the appropriate ports on the router (Port Forwarding).
3. Register DDNS (DDNS registration is required only if the public IP address is Dynamic).
To assigning an IP ADDRESS, go to “MENU”>”SYSTEM CONFIGURATION”>”NETWORK”
5. SETTING UP THE NETWORK

The “MORE SETTINGS” tab contains the ports that need to be forwarded for remote access
.
The SERVER PORT is responsible for the MOBILE APP and CLIENT SOFTWARE log-in.
The HTTP PORT is responsible for WEB BROWSER log-in.
The RTSP PORT is responsible for VIDEO/AUDIO STREAMING.
Units with older firmware have the RTSP PORT set to 554. A lot of cell phone carriers block incoming
data through port 554, which is why Hikvision recommends changing that port to 10554
SETTING UP NETWORK ACCESS

The HTTP PORT and the SERVER PORT can be changed if desired, in order to avoid conflicts
with the ISP or the existing network configuration.
PORT FORWARDING
After assigning the IP information to the NVR, connect a computer to the same router that the NVR is
connected to (wired connection is recommended, to avoid complications). Log into the ROUTER, and
proceed with PORT FORWARDING.
For PORT FORWARDING assistance contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP), or the router
manufacturer. Also refer to www.portforward.com for port forwarding step by step instructions.
Please be aware, that Hikvision USA is not associated with www.portforward.com, and not responsible
for any activity between the user and www.portforward.com. Please refrain from downloading any
software from the abovementioned website.
Proceed to the “ROUTERS” section for step by step instructions.
DDNS SETUP
DDNS registration has been made more user friendly, and takes only a few seconds to complete. The
legacy units require user registration on www.hik-online.com. This step is no longer needed.
Click on the DDNS tab
In the DDNS tab:
a. Enable DDNS
b. Change the DDNS TYPE to HiDDNS (in some cases HkDDNS)
c. Make sure that the SERVER ADDRESS is set to www.hik-online.com
d. Create a DEVICE DOMAIN NAME (the domain name CANNOT contain spaces, special
characters and/or upper case letters
