1) The DVR needs to be con gured to join your LAN (via its on-screen manu). You will need to have
your router/gateway IP address to hand. In windows run "ipcon g" command t o nd the IP address
(See "remote viewing guide").
2) Enter the new network details into the DVR with the following as an example:
DVR IP Address. . . . . . . . . . .192.168.1.10
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
3) In internet explorer, type the following into the address bar : 192.168.1.10
It should now work. If its not working, then check cabling and check network security setting in internet
explorer (See guide).
DVR Remote Viewing Over The Internet
1) First make sure remote viewing over LAN works (See Above). Only then that remote viewing over
internet is attempted.
2) The DVR'S IP Address cannot be accessed through the internet as it is a "Private Number" to the
LAN that its connected to. I.E. 192.168.1.10 will not work if you are in another broadband location (try
this out of curiosity). Only the public IP address of the router is visible on the internet.
3) Con gure your r out er t o r ecogni se t he DVR as an appli cati on t hat r equir es port f orwar di ng ( See
Guide).
4) Once port forwarding setting are applied, type the Public IP address in the address bar of internet
explorer, I.E. " 82.193.143.24". It should now connect and the webpage of the DVR will load.
If its not working then the Port is not opened or your ISP (Internet service provider) is blocking the
Port (You should now try a different port number). If you choose another port number, also tell the
DVR to use that port as well.
