Accessing the DVR from a remote computer
To access the DVR from a remote computer, in addition to the above
steps, you will also need to forward port 80 on the router the DVR is
attached to, to the IP address of the DVR. (This port can be changed if
if the port is currently being used by another program.) How you
would do this depends on the brand and model number of your router.
You can go to
www.portforward.com
to get instructions on how to
forward ports on most popular routers. To access your router's
program you would open an internet browser window and type the
default gateway of the router into the address bar at the top of the
window. Then follow the instructions for your router.
To access the DVR through Internet Explorer: once you have setup
the network settings on the DVR to match the settings of your router
and forwarded the ports needed by the DVR, 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 remote computer you would
then open an internet browser window and enter the internet IP of your
router.

the
internet
IP
of
your
router
go
to
www.myipaddress.com
from a computer that is attached to the same
router as the DVR. You would then access the DVR by typing the IP
address you got from
www.myipaddress.com
into the browser window
(Example:http://70.69.120.123). You will get a login screen were you
will need to enter your user name and password (admin and 111111 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 requested the
program.
