At the bottom of the NETWORK SETUP window there is an option to setup a DDNS service of the DVR
shown as Picture 5-10.You can access the DVR through a static or dynamic IP address; however a dynamic
address can change from time to time. How often depends on your service provider. When it changes you
need to go to a website such as www.myipaddress.com from a computer attached to the same router as the
DVR to find out what the new IP address is. There are two solutions to this problem. One would be to get a
static IP address from your service provider so that you do not have to be concerned with the address
changing. Another solution would to use a dynamic domain name service to get a domain name that can be
linked to your dynamic address. You can register on DVR2009.3322.org website and get a domain name, user
name, and password. You can then enter your dynamic domain name into an Internet Explorer browser
instead of an IP address and be directed to whatever the current dynamic IP address is, so that you can
always access the DVR by entering the same address. You can get more information on how to use these
services from www.dyndns.com website.
Picture 5-10
Server: select a Dynamic domain name server provided by ISP;
Host Name: Input host name registered from Dynamic Domain Naming System, for example:
DVR2009.3322.org;
User Name: Input a user name registered before applying for a domain name;
Password: Input a password you set when registering a user name.
Router’s Port Forwarding
Port forwarding is required when you want to access the DVR connected to the router from outside of the
router’s network.
1. Input router’s IP address from IE-based browser to open the Router configuration interface;
2. Click [Transmittal rule] option to take you to perform the port forwarding setting for your router;
3. Set the corresponding parameters illustrated in Picture 5-11. When server port and web port can be routed
to the DVR IP address, user can visit the DVR remotely.
4. User can enter below website or domain name as per current PC network environment to visit the remote
DVR.
http://public IP: Web port(such as 0080)
http://intranet IP: Web port(such as 0080)(only available at the same LAN)
http://superdvr.3322.org: Web port(such as 0080)

Friendly Reminder: The router’s port forwarding interface may be different, however, when entering into virtual
server, user will need forward port 0080 and port 9000 of router to IP address of DVR allocated or automatically
