6.1 Accessing the DVR

Accessing the DVR from a computer attached to the same router: If you are only going to access the DVR from a
computer that is attached to the same router as the DVR you only need to setup the information in the NETWORK
settings using either the DHCP option or assigning a static IP following the instructions below. Since you are just
going from one location to another on the same network port forwarding and knowing the public IP address are not
necessary. You would just access the DVR by entering the IP address of the DVR from the NETWORK setup into the
Internet Explorer browser window. After you setup the NETWORK settings using DHCP or Static IP instructions skip
down to the section: To access the DVR through Internet Explorer.

6.2 Setting Up Remote Access

There are 4 ways you can setup the DVR to be accessed remotely; DHCP, Static IP, PPPOE, and DDNS.

6.2.1 DHCP

If your router is setup for DHCP, and most of them are by default, you can have the router assign an IP address to the
DVR. To do this push the Menu key on the DVR to get to the system menu (Fig 6.1). Use the direction keys on the
DVR to select the NETWORK icon (Red box in Fig 6-1), this will display the NETWORK screen shown in Fig 6.2. Put
a checkmark in the DHCP box (Red box in Fig 6.2) and then select the OK button. Restart the DVR so the router can
find it and assign an IP Address automatically. To find out what IP Address has been assigned to your DVR by the
router, click on the INFO button on the front of the DVR. This is the IP address you will forward ports 80 and 2000 to
on the router so you can access the DVR from remote computers. Once the router has assigned an address through
DHCP ignore the default IP address, Subnet and Gateway information that is displayed in the main network window.
