1. Connect the device to be set up for port forwarding to the network. Login and make sure to configure the IP address as a static address within the same IP range provided by the router. To find out this range open the command prompt on a PC connected to the same network and use the command '''IPconfig'''. This will show the IP address of the computer and the Default Gateway, or the address of the router.

1. Connect NVR to network with a CAT5 cable.

2. To assign an address to the system, login and under the Main Menu > Setting > Network > TCP/IP and edit the network card.

2. Download and install ConfigTool from DahuaSecurity.com, under Support->Download Center->Software
  
−
Before assigning the chosen address, make sure that it is not in use already. This can be done by using the '''Ping''' command in the command prompt (Example: Ping 192.168.1.155) if the ping returns a reply, choose another address.

3. Run the ConfigTool.
  
−
Make sure that DHCP is unchecked and manually input the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. The IP should be similar to the Default gateway with the last number being different
+
4. The ConfigTool should display your IP Camera. Click the, "[[file:ConfigToolIPCEIcon.jpg]]" icon to open Internet Explorer and access your NVR.

3. Once this is done, open a browser and enter the Default Gateway in the address bar at the top. this will take you to the router login page.

Create port forwarding rule in the router

Description

Port forwarding is a function of network routers that allows a user to configure specific communication ports to be routed to devices on an IP (Internet Protocol) network, such as a computer, DVR, or IP camera.In this case for CCTV equipment, it allows the user to view and control CCTV equipment remotely. Follow the step by step instructions and the instructions your manufacturers hardware to setup port forwarding, or try PortForward.com to search for your routers settings.

Prerequisites

  • Network Video Recorder
  • Connection to the internet
  • Access to the router(s) and/or modem
  • A computer that can access the network

Video Instructions

Step by Step Instructions

1. Connect NVR to network with a CAT5 cable.

2. Download and install ConfigTool from DahuaSecurity.com, under Support->Download Center->Software

3. Run the ConfigTool.

4. The ConfigTool should display your IP Camera. Click the, "ConfigToolIPCEIcon.jpg" icon to open Internet Explorer and access your NVR.

5. Configure Internet Explorer security settings to allow the plugs to work. Link to Internet Explorer Setup

6. Login with the default credentials: User Name: admin Passsword: admin

7. Under, Main Menu -> Setup -> TCP/IP Change the IP Camera to, "Static" if the camera is currently set to, "DHCP"

8. Open another tab and enter the, "Gateway" address listed under your NVR's Network settings. Example: 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, 10.0.10.1

9. Login to your gateway and locate the, "Port Forwarding" section.

10. Create port forwarding rules for each port you wish to forward for the NVR. (Usually you will only need to forward the HTTP and the TCP port.) Default Ports: TCP: 37777 UDP: 37778 HTTP: 80 RTSP: 554 HTTPS: 443

11. The end result should look like the below image. We used a Cisco router for this example.
