Accessing the DVR over a network

To access the DVR through a computer you need to make sure the
default gateway on the DVR is the same IP address as your router, and
the first three sets of numbers of the DVR IP address are the same as
the first three sets of numbers of router’s address. Example: if your
router’s default gateway is 192.168.1.1 then the default gateway
setting in the DVR should be 192.168.1.1, and the first three sets of
numbers on the DVR's IP address should be 192.168.1. The last set of
numbers has to be different then those on any other devices attached to
the router to avoid conflicts. The subnet on the DVR also needs to be
the same as the router, example: if the subnet on the router is
255.255.255.0 the subnet on the DVR needs to be 255.255.255.0. To
get the default gateway and subnet of the router, on a computer that is
attached to the same router as the DVR, click on the start button, then
click on run, then enter cmd into the box and click on OK. At the
curser type ipconfig, the default gateway and subnet will be displayed.

To access the DVR through Internet Explorer: Once you have set
up the network settings on the DVR to match the settings of your
router, you need to modify your browser controls. You need to allow
Pop-ups. To do so go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the
"tools" option, then select the "Pop up Blocker" option and select
"Turn Off Pop-up Blocker.” You will also need to enable Active X
controls. To do so go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the
"tools" option, then "Internet Options", then "Security", then click the
"Custom Level" button, and make sure the Active X Controls and Plug
Ins are set to prompt or enabled. To connect to the DVR
from the computer you would then open an internet browser window
and enter the gateway IP of your router. You will get a login screen
were you will need to enter your user name and password (admin
and 12345 by default). The first time you connect a webcam program
will be downloaded to your system and you may get a message that an
ActiveX control on the page may be unsafe but it is ok to click the Yes
option to download the control and program since you have requested
the program.
