What port forwards are required for direct IP remote access?

Question:

What port forwards are required for direct IP remote access?

Answer:

For web browser access:

• The HTTP port. By default, this is set to 80. But can be customized.

For mobile app (Hik Connect) and IVMS-4200 on a PC:

• The Server port. By default this is set to 8000. But can be customized. 
• The RTSP port. By default this can be either 554 or 10554. But can be customized. 

The ports should be opened and forwarded to the IP address of the device you are wanting to access from outside the local network. 

Please note: The task of port forwarding is provided by the local IT person or internet provider. Hikvision support can only provide information on what ports need to be forwarded.
