Similar to dialing up to ISP (Internet Service Provider) for connecting to internet described in
the previous section, direct dial-in access is another way to let users remotely connecting to
DVR products which is equipped with a modem device. The above figure depicts the
framework of this feature.
Additionally, the only slightly difference between these two methods is that direct dial-in
access uses DVR products to replace the function provided by ISP RAS (Remote Access
Server) to perform the procedure of connection.
