How to check if ports on your router are open | Port Forwarding by 123CCTV
In this video we show you how to scan the ports on your router to check if they are open. To be able to view your security camera system from your smartphone or over the internet from a computer, it is important to provision rules in your firewall to allow certain ports to be open. Not only do the ports need to be open, they also must be forwarded to the internal IP address of your DVR recorder. This whole process is called port forwarding. Although the process or steps needed to configure port forwarding on each brand and model of routers is different, this video illustrates how easy it is to check whether your ports are indeed forwarded. Make sure that your DVR is connected with a good Ethernet cable to your network. For more information please visit http://www.123-cctv.com/security-dvr-...
