Hi, Ok, I tried searching the forum, but getting even more confused. I am very new to this, and rather lost at the moment. I had 4 x DVR's installed in my shop over the past few years. 3 x 16ch, 1 x 32ch, HikVision. I contacted my technician, and asked if I could view them remote, and he advised yes. I installed a 4mb uncapped adsl line to do this. I have a D-Link DSL-2750U router. I am having tons of headaches here. I get the one to work, then two others, then these three, then those two. Crazy, inconsistent results. My technician can't help either. I want to use ivms-4500 on my Android device. What are the ports I need to be forwarding to run 4 x DVR's? 80, 8000, and 554? Do I change them for each individual ip / dvr? I had: 10.0.0.51 81 8001 554 10.0.0.52 82 8002 554 10.0.0.53 83 8003 554 10.0.0.54 84 8004 554 This is the first time since uTorrent I mess with ports... dangerous times.

Currently, the enable DDNS feature is ticked on all the DVRs, do I keep it ticked?

Still nothing. The grid appears. My cameras are listed on the left. But no video.

Chrome / IE11

Yes, I have access. No video though. But, I think that is because of plug-in.

1) DS-8116HFI-ST 2) DS-7216HWI-SH 3) DS-7332HWI-SH 4) DS-7216HVI-ST/SN

My biggest question is, because of 4 x DVR's, does each one need to use unique ports? For all 3 ports? example... 80 8000 554 81 8001 555 82 8002 556 53 8003 557 ????

Ok, paying attention...

Ok, so I will be using HiDDNS because my external IP would be dynamic. 3 of the 4 IP's are still the same. I changed 10.0.0.53 83 8003 554 to 10.0.0.55 85 8005 554 The other's are the same.

Ok, so we will still be using HiDDNS? What do you need me to do next? Virtual servers?

I have not followed the virtual server route.. I used HiDDNS. Is this also using HiDDNS, or is this a different method?

Still nowhere closer to getting this to work.

Ok. I have it

Is it the ip next to WAN connections? the ipv4? there is one, yes.

A static public ip? No. I intend to use HiDDNS.

I have local access via the screen, plugged in? I use a mouse to interact. I have not tried accessing them on the local network via LAN. Do I download a viewer for my laptop? Yes, in the end, I need to view this on my android via the internet.

See, I have had some successes. But not on all 4. I intend to use HiDDNS. I get all 4 added online in the hikonline portal. No joy viewing them though. Could be Web Components plug in that gives me probs..

I can ping them all? If that answers the question

Note: Only these 4 DVR's and my laptop are connected to the Router.
