GOP (Group of Pictures)- The GOP controlsthe image per second transfer from the system.With a larger GOP, the quality will be better,however the transfer may be slower.3. Frame Rate - Controls the DATA RATE fromthe remote system. Typically a higher frame rateshould result in a smoother image, however due todata compression and bandwidth constraints withH.264 compression, it is recommended to set theframe rate to 10 15 FPS for higher quality networkviewing.4.

Remote Access with the DDNS ServiceRemote Access with the DDNS ServiceThe L15LD400 Series Observation System can be remotely controlled using your existing networkand the Lorex Client 5.0 software. Recording times may vary - please use the Recording Calculator provided with the CD to find an approximate recording time calculation.1. Connect the Observation System to the Router using the supplied Ethernet Cable. Power theObservation System on.NOTE: The Observation System must be connected to the router prior to powering on thesystem. This allows the system to communicate on your network2. Find the IP address of your Observation System through the Menu System on the unit. To locateyour External IP address, visit http://www.showmyip.com3. Enable PORT FORWARDING on your Router. Refer to the CD, Lorex Website or the RouterManufacturer’s websites for further assistance with your specific network setup and hardware.4. Set up a DDNS web account at http://www.lorexddns.com/5. Setup the Observation System DDNS (based on information setup on the DDNS website in step4).6. Install the Software on your PC.

Confirm that the DHCP MODE is set toAUTOMATIC. This will allow your systemto lease an IP ADDRESS from your router.If the system is not set to AUTOMATIC,change the setting and click IP DETECT the system will obtain an IP address.4. The IP PORT is 50000 by default. The IPAddress, Gateway and Subnet areassigned to your system by your router. Ifthe settings are not displayed, and the unitis set to DHCP MODE: AUTOMATIC, youmay need to click IP DETECT - the systemwill obtain an IP address.5. Press ESC to exit.NOTE: The system will lease networkinginformation from your Router. If you wish toset your information manually, then set theDHCP MODE to MANUAL. Please consultyour Hardware Manual for further Menuoptions.Finding Your External IP AddressYou will need to have your External IP address to confirm the configuration of your DDNSaccount. One of the fastest ways to find this information is to use a 3rd Party website such ashttp://www.showmyip.comYour IP address can also be found within your Router settings. Refer to your router user guide forfurther details.NOTE: Your External IP address may occasionally change, based on your specific InternetProvider. A DDNS Service allows you to connect to your unit, regardless of an IP Address changeby providing you with a Dynamic Address (and connecting via your system specific MAC address).27

Remote Access with the DDNS ServiceRouter Port ForwardingYou will need to enable port forwarding on your Router to allow for external communications withyour Observation System for port: PORT 50000Computers, Observation Systems, and other devices inside your network can only communicatedirectly with each other within the internal network. Computers and systems outside your networkcannot directly communicate with these devices. When a system on the internal network needsto send or receive information from a system outside the network (i.e. from the Internet), theinformation is sent to the Router.NETWORK EXAMPLERouterExternal IP216.13.154.34RouterInternal IP192.168.0.1ComputerInternal IP192.168.0.2ObservationSystemInternal IP192.168.0.3InternetInternal NetworkWhen a computer on the Internet needs to send data to your internal network, it sends this datato the external IP address of the Router. The Router then needs to decide where this data is tobe sent to. This is where setting up Port Forwarding becomes important.Port Forwarding tells the router which device on the internal network to send the data to. Whenyou set up port forwarding on your Router, it takes the data from the external IP address:portnumber and sends that data to an internal IP address:port number.The instructions found online in the Router Configuration Guide will assist you in the portforwarding configurations for a selection of different router models.Visit our Consumer Guides Support website at http://www.lorexcctv.com for more details28
