REMOTE SURVEILLANCE
For the DVRs IP address you would enter the same first 3 sets of numbers as the gateway and select a fourth set of
numbers that is different then any other device attached to the same router. If the IP address of your computer in the
ipconfig (BLUE arrow in Fig 6.3) was a single or two digit number you should be ok with any three digit number less
than 255. If the Ip Address ends with a number in the 100's, then you should go with a 200 number (Blue box in Fig
6.4).

6.2.3 PPPOE

If you are going to attach the DVR directly to a DSL or Cable modem instead of a router you will need to select the
PPPOE option in the NETWORK options. To do this, push the Menu key on the DVR to get to the system menu (Fig
6.1) then use the direction keys on the DVR to select the Network option and oush the Enter key to display the
NETWORK screen shown in Fig 6.2. Put a checkmark in the PPPOE option box (Green box in Fig 6.2) and then
select the OK button. You will need to contact your Internet Service Provider to obtain the User Name and Password
so that you enter this information in the fields directly under the PPPOE check box.

6.2.4 DDNS

You can access the DVR through a static or dynamic IP address; however a dynamic address can change from time
to time. How often depends on your service provider. When it changes you need to go to a website such as
www.myipaddress.com from a computer attached to the same router as the DVR to find out what the new IP address
is. There are two solutions to this problem. One would be to get a static IP address from your service provider so that
you do not have to be concerned with the address changing. Another solution would to use a dynamic domain name
service to get a domain name that can be linked to your dynamic IP address. We suggest myq-see.com or
www.dyndns.com since the DVR is setup to accept account information from these two domain name services.
To access the DVR through a dynamic domain you need to push the Menu key on the front of the DVR to get to the
system menu (Fig 6.1). Use the direction keys on the DVR to select the NETWORK option and push the ENTER key.
This will bring up a screen as shown in Fig 6.5 DDNS. Enter the User Name and Password assigned to you by your
DDNS server in the appropriate fields. You will now be able to access the DVR remotely by entering the domain
name into an internet browser application window from a remote computer.
NOTE: Before you setup DDNS you must first set up Port Forwarding as directed in Section 6.3 PORT
