4.4.4. Remote Web Access Setup
There are two main methods for setting up remote access: UPnP/DDNS, and Port Forwarding.
UPnP/DDNS Remote Web Access Setup
Using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and Dynamic Domain Name Server (DDNS) functionality is the easiest way to setup stable
remote access. For this method, your router should support the uPnP networking protocol and the protocol should be enabled.
Please refer to your router manufacturer’s documentation to learn how to enable uPnP on your router.
Below is a step-by-step walkthrough that details how to setup Amcrest cameras for Remote Web Access using UPnP and DDNS:
1. Login to your camera’s web interface, open the main menu then go to Setup -> Network.
2. Using the left-hand menu, go to the Connection menu, and write down the HTTP port. It is recommended to ensure the
port number is at least 5 digits long to prevent any port conflicts. If need be, change the port to a 5-digit number that is less than
65535, note the number down, and click save before proceeding to the next step.
3. The system will prompt you to reset the camera. Click OK and wait for the camera to restart.
4. Restarting the camera may cause the device to use another IP address. Use the included IP Config tool to find the IP
address as detailed previously in this document.
5. Login to your camera, open the main menu then go to Setup -> Network.
6. Click the Connections menu item on the left-hand menu and ensure that the HTTP port has changed.
7. Click the DDNS menu item on the left-hand menu, pick Amcrest DDNS from the drop down box, click the checkbox next to
Server Type, and then click the Save button on the bottom right.
8. To set a custom DDNS name, fill out the Domain Name field and click Save.
9. Write down the entire Domain Name field, including the white text that says .AmcrestDDNS.com
10. Click the UPnP menu item on the left-hand menu and click the enable checkbox at the top.
11. While in the UPnP menu, double click the HTTP port, and change both the internal and external HTTP ports to match the
number that was used in step 2.
