CONNECTING TO AND ACCESSING YOUR DVR ONLINE (FROM ANY INTERNET ENABLED PC)
SETTING UP & CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET
If your Internet connection is DSL (a broadband connection that comes through your phone line) you may need to configure PPPoE settings. If you
do not know what type of broadband connection you have, contact your internet service provider (ISP). Ask your ISP if your internet connection is
cable or DSL.
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 found on this page 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.
