To register a DVR site follow the instructions below:
- Enter site name. This is the name of the DVR you will be connecting to.
- Enter IP address. This is the IP address assigned to the DVR you will be connecting to.
- Enter port number. Port number is the port address that is used with TCP/IP. It must be the
same port that was used when setting up the DVR you are registering. If the port number
is blocked by firewall, please consult with network administrator to forward ports or change
port numbers to usable ports. If you change port numbers, they must be changed in the
DVR network setup program to be the same as entered here.
- Enter user ID and password. This is the user ID and password already set up in DVR.
- Click the Add button to add DVR site.
- Anonymous user. When the anonymous user box is checked, this means you will be
connecting to the DVR with an unknown user. This user has limited functions available.
The anonymous user must also be turned on in the DVR software before function will work.
