FINDING YOUR EXTERNAL IP
Now you will need to find your external
IP address. This will be the address you
will be entering in order to access the
DVR from outside your network (over the
internet).
There are many ways to find your
external IP address. The simplest way is
to go to http://www.whatsmyip.org. This
site will display your external IP address
in the top portion of the screen. If you go
to http://www.portforward.com, it will
also display this IP address. Write it down
on the page of router information beside
EXTERNAL IP.
TESTING YOUR EXTERNAL IP
Now that you know your external IP address, you can perform a test to ensure your DVR is accessible from outside your network (over the internet).
1. Open Internet Explorer, and in the
address bar type in the EXTERNAL
IP address you just acquired from
whatsmyip.org (and wrote down on
pg.74 with all the other networking).
2. Press ENTER.
3. If you are prompted to allow pop-ups for
the site, click ALLOW.

the “Windows needs your permission to
