Frequently asked questions
What ports do I need to forward for Lorex cameras?
For Lorex RTSP streaming: forward TCP 554. For web interface: TCP 80 or 443. For ONVIF: TCP 80. Consider using a VPN instead of direct port forwarding — it provides stronger security without exposing camera ports to the internet.
Is port forwarding safe for Lorex cameras?
Direct port forwarding exposes Lorex cameras to internet-wide scanning and brute force attacks. Mandatory steps before enabling port forwarding: (1) change default password, (2) update firmware, (3) disable unused services. A VPN or cloud relay is safer for most users.
