Router or LAN Connection

This is the most common connection in which the MDVR is connected to a router and allows
multiple users on and off site to see the MDVR on a LAN/WAN (Internet). The camera must be
assigned an IP address that is compatible with its LAN. By setting up port forwarding on the
router, you can remotely access the cameras from outside of the LAN via the Internet. To
remotely access the Web interface, please refer to 7. Remote Access to the Mobile DVR. To
set up port forwarding, please consult the manual of the router or refer to Appendix B:
Linksys & D-Link Port Forwarding.
