GadgetAssistant 0 Posted November 5, 2017 Hello. If your DVR is a standalone appliance and not a card in a computer, the DMZ should be fine. The ports in a standalone DVR are hard coded. In a computer, ports can be negotiated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomcctv 190 Posted November 6, 2017 Hi. Don’t use DMZ just give your dvr a IP address manually and then give it a port number in your router. The more you do manually the more secure your system will be Change passwords set own network is always safer and you already have your own static ip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
