### Remote Access (Optional)
To access NextNVR from outside your home network:
1. **Dynamic DNS** — use a free provider like DuckDNS, No-IP, or Cloudflare to get a domain name (e.g. `myhouse.duckdns.org`)
2. **Port forwarding** — in your router settings, forward these ports to the NextNVR server:
| Port | Service | Required |
|------|---------|----------|
| `8080` | Web UI | Yes |
| `1984` | Live streaming | **Yes — live view won't work without it** |
Then access your cameras from anywhere: `http://myhouse.duckdns.org:8080`
> ⚠️ For production use, put NextNVR behind a reverse proxy (like Zoraxy or Nginx) with HTTPS to secure your connection.
