PORT FORWARDING
To access the DVR from a remote computer over the internet you would then need to forward port 80 and 9000 on the
router the DVR is attached to, to the IP address of the DVR. You can get instructions on how to do this for most popular
routers by going to the
www.portforward.com
website. On this website click on the orange "Routers" link in the second
paragraph (RED box in Figure 3.5.46), which will open a list of router manufactures, then find the brand and model of your
router on the list and click on the link. On the next page that opens click on the orange "Default Guide" link (BLUE box in
Figure 3.5.47), this will take you to the port forwarding instructions for your router.

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 Figure 3.5.48 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.
