QC40198/QC40196 User Manual
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 Pic 8 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.
NOTE: If you cannot use HTTP port 80 or 37777 because it is being used by another program, or it is being blocked by your
service provider, you can use another port in the same range. If you do so then you need to forward the IP address of the
router to the other port, change the port in the DVR NETWORK settings and you need to add the port number after the IP
address. For example, if you set the HTTP port as 82, you need to enter the IP address as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:82. Where the Xs
are the numbers of the IP address you received from www.myipaddress.com
User name and password here are the same as what you use on the DVR.
