NetViewer - Starting the Software
Before starting the NetViewer software, ensure that the DVR is properly connected
to your network. The computer you use to open the software should also be
connected the network or the Internet so that it can communicate with the DVR.
You'll be taken directly to the login screen, where you'll need to tell the NetViewer
software where it can fi nd your DVR, and the password so it can be accessed. To
do this:
• Enter the relevant IP address of
your DVR. If the DVR is on the
same network as the PC you're
using to access it, then you should
use the private IP address. If you're
connecting via the Internet, you'll
need to use the public IP address
of the DVR. See page 50 for more
information about public and
private IP addresses.
• Enter the number of the Media Port. This should be the same one that you set
in the DVR. This port will also have to be forwarded from your router otherwise
your bandwidth will be limited or the connection will not work at all.
• Enter your password. If you have not set a password, then it will be the default
"123456". If you have disabled all password protection (we advise strongly
against doing so, but it's up to you), then leave this fi eld blank.
• Finally, choose whether your connecting to the DVR via a local network (LAN)
or via the Internet. This will alter, amongst other things, the amount of data
the DVR tries to send to your PC - a local network can handle a much higher
amount of data being transferred than the Internet.
• Click on LOGIN to open communication with the DVR.
• Once you've logged in, you will be taken directly to the main user interface of
NetViewer.
