Addendum: Access via Mobile Devices
The DVR4-2500 supports access from mobile devices, such as mobile phones with Windows CE as their operating system,
as well as the increasingly popular iPhone. To correctly confi gure your DVR for remote access via a mobile device, or
indeed any remote access, it is important to have your network and Internet connection confi gured correctly. Typically,
this is matter of forwarding ports from your router to specifi c devices (in this case, your DVR).

depending on your security needs. We suggest using a different password for mobile access, but something that
you'll remember.
5.
Choose a
PORT for remote access. This port will need to be properly forwarded from your router to ensure maximum
bandwidth for sending footage.

public IP address.
The port that the DVR has been confi gured to use for mobile access. Again, this is the port that you
selected in the Mobile Device setup on the DVR.

will only stream one channel at a time. To choose another channel, reconnect. As the software is

will interface with the DVR4-2500.
