6.4 CONNECT TO THE INTERNET
Port forwarding is a necessary step that opens a path on your home/business network to allow
you to view your DVR video feed from outside your network (over the internet).
There are hundreds of makes and brands of routers on the market and these instructions have
been made using a D-Link router (Model DI-524). If you have a router that is different than shown,
please visit www.portforward.com and go to the link marked GUIDES. Once on this page, go to
the link marked Port Forwarding Guides by Router. Find your router make and model in the list of
links and click on it. You will see a list of various applications. Find a link for any DVR or IP camera
and click on it. Follow the instructions but make sure you forward the correct port number (the
port number assigned to your DVR. The default port number is 80. )
The steps for your router will be similar to the following.
These instructions have also been created without a firewall in place. If you have a firewall, please
consult a computer technician.
NOTE: Your router may require a user name and password. If you do not know it, ask the person
who configured your network. Portforward.com will provide you with each router’s default
user name and password.
D-LINK ROUTER
You will need to enable the ports by locating the port range forwarding screen. With some D-LINK
routers the port forwarding screen is located within the Applications & Games or Filters tab; in
others it is located in the Advanced Tools tab.
1. Open your web browser. Enter the ROUTER IP address in the address bar as shown below and press
ENTER.
2. Enter the user name admin. Leave the password blank followed by pressing the OK button
(unless you have set up a user name and password for your router)
3. Select the Advanced tab.
6. If entered successfully a window will open up with a login screen. The default USER
NAME is admin. The default PASSWORD will be 1234.
7. The first time you logon to the DVR, an ActiveX Installation window will appear. Install
the ActiveX control.
You can now view and control your DVR from inside your local network.
