6.3 Accessing the DVR without Video Viewer
If you are away from your DVR and want to access the footage on it or configure your recording options, you can gain
access to the DVR via Internet Explorer (Windows) window or QuickTime Player (Mac).
6.3.1 Accessing your DVR via Internet Explorer
To do this, open up an Internet Explorer browser window, or a Mozilla Firefox browser window. Be sure that your
copy of your Internet browser is up to date.
In the address bar, type the address of the DVR – the PRIVATE IP ADDRESS if you are on the same local network
as the DVR, the PUBLIC IP ADDRESS if you are accessing the unit remotely (see 6.1).
