cctvwatch 0 Posted December 10, 2013 This question has been asked, I searched the forums but I am not able to find all of the answers that I was looking for. I hope those of you with more networking skills can help me out. I am looking to connect 3 DVR's to a router. I'm not sure if I can just assign a different port (80,81,82, etc.) for each IP address and open that port, or if I need to use a service such as DynDns? Has anyone done a "how to" on multiple DVR connections? Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssnapier 0 Posted December 10, 2013 If this is just for viewing on the local network, each one will have it's own IP and that should be enough. If this is for remote viewing, change the ports on one of them (you may have HTTP, Server, Mobile, and Admin ports) and then open those ports on your router and forward them to the IP of that router. If you need help with port forwarding, visit http://www.portforward.com and look for your router model # there for instructions.

SectorSecurity 0 Posted December 12, 2013 Yes you can assign a port to the IP address and you just have to create a socket layer to access each one, a socket is an IP address and port such as 192.168.1.100:81. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
