Right now we will only be concerning with the first item on the list, “Network Type”. There are 2 options for this,
“DHCP” or “Static”. For now, DHCP is what we are going to use. Before you make the selection please be sure the
router is enabled to act as a DHCP server on your network (most routers have this option enabled as factory
default).
To check if this option is enabled on the Linksys WRT54GL router, access the user interface of the router, then
click on the “setup” tab, and then choose “basic setup”. Under “Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)” you
will see an option to either enable or disable “DHCP server”. Make sure “Enable” is selected. If you changed the
selection, make sure you click on “save settings” button at the bottom of the screen before you exit.
2a. Access the DVR using the supplied software.
After the DVR is set to DHCP, the router would then automatically assigns an IP address to the DVR. Finally, it is
time to access the DVR from a computer. The computer needs to be on the same network, meaning that it has to
be connected (wired or wirelessly) through the router. You will need to install the software that comes with the
Avtech DVR. There should be 2 CDs that came with the security DVR. One includes all the user’s manual and the
other has the software. Place the software CD in your cdrom or dvdrom drive and then run the installation.
After the installation an icon labeled “Video server E” should now appear on your desktop . Double click
on the icon to run the software. You should see the following (Fig. 6):
