Click on Begin.
If you receive a message stating that the port is online and can be reached, then you have set
it up correctly.
To connect to your DVR from the Internet, you will need to put the Internet IP address shown
after “Your Internet Address:” message into the browser or access program window.
If you are forwarding any instead of port 80, then you need to put that port at the end of the
address.
Example: if you use port 85, you will need to enter: http://75.14.251.43:85

1.3 DDNS (DYNAMIC DOMAIN NAME SERVICE)
You can access the DVR over the Internet using a static or dynamic IP address. However,
your service provider can change this dynamic address from time to time. When it changes,
you will have to return to repeat the steps in in Network Settings or by visiting www.
MyIPAaddress.com, again from a computer attached to the same router as the DVR to get
the new public IP address.
There are two solutions to this problem. The first would be to obtain a static IP address from
your ISP – which can be expensive. A second – and free – option is to use a dynamic domain
name service (DDNS) to get a domain name that can be linked to your dynamic IP address. In
addition to automatically keeping up with the changes in the address, you will now be able to
enter a domain name rather than a string of digits when accessing the DVR in Internet Explorer.
While there are multiple free DDNS services available, we recommend using www.MyQ-See.
com or www.DynDNS.com as the DVR has been already configured to accept account
information from these two services.
NOTE! Before setting up DDNS, you must have previously set up Port
Forwarding as described in the preceding section.

Setting up DDNS
The following instructions are for setting up DDNS with MyQ-See, instructions for DynDNS are
available on their website.
STEP 1. Using a computer that is
connected to the same router as the
DVR, use Internet Explorer to go to
www.MyQ-See.com
STEP 2. Fill out the required information
to register and click the Submit
button at the bottom of the screen.
STEP 3. The next page will ask you
to create a domain name. Domain
names must begin with a letter (a-z)
or a number (0-9) and cannot contain
a hyphen. Once you’ve decided
upon a name, click on the “Request
Domain” button. If it is available you
will see a confirmation screen along
with the IP address associated with it.
Confirm that this matches the number
obtained in Network Settings. Your
domain name will look like this:
http://example.myq-see.com
STEP 4. Once you have obtained your
domain name, you will need to
configure the DVR for access using it.
