Accessing the DVR over a network To access the DVR through a computer you need to make sure the default gateway on the DVR is the same IP address as your router, and the first three sets of numbers of the DVR IP address are the same as the first three sets of numbers of router’s address. Example: if your router’s default gateway is 192.168.1.1 then the default gateway setting in the DVR should be 192.168.1.1, and the first three sets of numbers on the DVR's IP address should be 192.168.1.
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.
Static verses dynamic addresses: You can access the DVR through a static or dynamic IP address, however a dynamic address can change from time to time. How often depends on your service provider. We suggest www.Dyndns.org or www.no-ip.com domain name service. If you register your domain name for the DVR, you can use this service to connect to your DVR without the need for a static or public IP address.
