Port Forwarding Remote Web Access Setup
Port Forwarding is an alternative method to setting up remote access for Amcrest cameras. This method should only be used if
the UPnP/DDNS Remote Access method did not work.
Below is a step-by-step walkthrough that details how to setup the camera for Remote Web Access using Port Forwarding:
1. Login to your camera, open the main menu then go to Setup -> Network.
2. Open the TCP/IP settings screen.
3. By default, the camera has the mode set to DHCP. Ensure that DHCP is selected. The IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default
Gateway, Preferred DNS, and Alternate DNS should all be 0s if DHCP is selected.
4. Click Save to save these settings. This should now open the main menu.
5. From the main menu, go to Setup -> Network.
6. On the TCP/IP settings screen, the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Preferred DNS, and Alternate DNS should
all be populated.
7. Click the radio button next to Static, to change the mode to Static.
8. Write down the IP Address that is currently in the IP address field.
9. Click the Save button.
10. Using the left hand menu, go to the Connection menu, and write down the TCP, UDP, and HTTP port number. It is
recommended to ensure that these port numbers are at least 5 digits long to prevent any port conflicts. If need be, change each of
these port numbers to a 5-digit number that is less than 65535, note the numbers down, and click save before proceeding to the
next step.
11. Go to http://www.canyouseeme.org/ and check to ensure each of the port numbers specified in step 10 is open.
12. Write down the manufacturer name, brand, and model name for the router that the camera is connected to, and then
proceed to http://www.portforward.com on your web browser.
13. Open the port forwarding guide section on the left-hand side menu.
14. Find the router brand name in the list and click it.
15. Find the router model number and click it.
16. Click the Default Guide link near the middle of the page.
17. This guide will help you take the step necessary to port forward on the router. Follow these steps, and then return to the
camera.
