UPNP
Universal Plug and Play, or UPnP for short, is a new set of networking protocols created by
consumer electronics manufacturers to allow easier connections of networked devices such
as computers, printers, mobile devices and network-capable security DVRs. Your DVR has
UPnP functionality built in which allows it to automatically seamlessly connect to a network,
obtain an IP address on that network and interact with other devices on the network - without
the need for special software or time-consuming configuration routines.
Things you will need to know :
1. The make and model of the router.
2. Whether your router supports UPnP
3. The IP address for the router.
4. You will be forwarding ports 80, 9000 and 18004.
NOTE! You must have a PC connected to the same router as the DVR before
proceeeding.
NOTE! Check with your Router’s owner manual or the website of your
router’s manufacturer to determine whether it supports UPnP. If it does not,
then you will need to follow the instructions for Simple Port Forwarding as laid
out in Section 1.2. If you are still unsure about whether your router supports UPnP, you can
determine this by proceeding with Part 1, below.
