7.6 Requirements to View a DVR remotely via Internet
On a local network, you should be able to readily access your DVR system remotely via web
browser or the remote client software by using the local IP address of the DVR system.

and/ or problems in configuring your local area network. If you encounter problems, please contact your network device manufacturer,

1. It is highly recommended to use static public IP address if you need to have the DVR available
online (Internet).
2. Configure a static local IP address on your DVR.
Step to assign static local IP address:

Close the DVR software program
 Click on “Start” – RUN – on the OPEN box, type in
ncpa.cpl , then click OK.

Right click on Local Area Connection, then select Properties

Double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Enter your local IP information according to your LAN IP scheme settings
For Stand-alone / Embedded DVR:

Please refer to your DVR manual how to go into the Network (LAN setup) or TCP/IP
Setup.

The port number used for the web interface and video transmission are usually found
on the same Network or TCP/IP Setup menu. See the table below for Port numbers
used.
3. Configure port forwarding or any similar functionality on your local router and enable/open the
port numbers needed for the communication. See the List of Port Numbers below.
