2.2 The firmware version of NVR
Please check the firmware version of your Compro network video recorder and ensure that your network video recorder is using the latest version of firmware. You can check the NVRs firmware version by logging into the NVRs IP address on the Internet Explorer, and then navigate to [Setup] > [System Setup] > [Firmware upgrade]. The firmware version will then be revealed in the firmware upgrade screen as shown below.

Input Public IP Address
Basically, the user has to configure port forwarding for the IP cameras that need to be connected to the NVR. So

the cameras themselves can be accessed from the Internet. Afterwards, the user has to add camera connections on the NVR using the cameras public/WAN IP address.
Once the cameras HTTP port and RTSP port are determined, you can then log in to your network routers administration interface and start configuring port forwarding for your IP camera. The figure below exemplifies a typical port forwarding configuration on router. (The steps in navigating to the port forwarding setup menu differs from router to router. You may have to resort to the user manual of your network router for instructions.) The following figure gives an example of port forwarding settings on router.

Technical Note
Important:
If you have multiple IP cameras installed on a network, you will need to change the HTTP and RTSP port on them manually so each one of them will use a different port. E.g. Changing the HTTP and RTSP port for the 2nd device to 81 and 555 respectively. When configuring port forwarding/mapping on your router, note that the public RTSP port must be equal to the internal RTSP port used by the IP camera. For instance, if the IP camera uses RTSP port 554 internally, then its mapped public RTSP port on the router should be 554 too. Though the same does not apply to the camera's HTTP port. The camera using HTTP port 80 can have 8080 as its mapped public HTTP port on the router.
