5. Follow the instruction on the website (The top set of instructions are done on the DVR.
The bottom set of instructions are done on the router)
6. Verify the ports are open and traffic is allowed
A. Go to www.canyouseeme.org
B. Type the port number that your DVR requires in the box.
By default these DVRs use ports 80 and 9000.
C. Verify that the port(s) is open.
i. If the port is open, you will see the following message:”Success. I can see
your service…”
ii. Go to the section below: To access the DVR through Internet Explorer
iii. Otherwise, if the ports are not open, you will get the following message:
“Error: I could not see your service on 64.206.234.34 on port (80) -
Reason: Connection refused”. If you get this error, call your Internet
Service Provider (ISP) and ask them to unblock those ports for you.
iv. After your ISP unblocks those ports for you, repeat steps i and ii.
When you access the DVR from a remote computer you also need to use a different address
in the Internet Explorer browser window. Instead of entering the IP address of the DVR
you need to enter the public IP address of the router the DVR is attached to. You can get
this address by going to www.myipaddress.com from a computer that is attached to the
same router as the DVR. This website will display the box in IMAGE 19 below that shows
the IP address you need to use. It will be in the space where the below example shows
76.254.183.54.

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 (for remote access over the internet), you need
to modify your browser controls.
