Getting Started Introduction Thank you for choosing ApexCCTV. We hope that this document will assist you in configuring your new AP-9060/AP-16CO for use on your network and via the internet. This document follows industry standard best practices, and while you do not need to follow every single step on this list, doing so will provide you with a reliable and secure connection to your AP-9060/AP-16CO.
Gathering Information Before continuing, you will need to gather the following information. If you do not know or cannot find some of this information, please contact your network administrator or your internet service provider (ISP). There is some specific network information you will need to have readily available before you start configuring your network and surveillance product.

You should have some information similar to what is below on your screen: Please take special note of the Subnet mask, Default Gateway, and DNS Servers. The complete list of information you will need is listed below. We recommend using the checklist on the following page as you gather information to be sure you will have everything you need before you begin.
Information Gathering Checklist Your router’s internal IP address Your router’s public IP address Your router’s username and password Your network’s DHCP range Your network’s DNS server addresses Your network’s subnet mask Your AP-9060/AP-16CO’s username and password The IP Address you will give your AP-9060/AP-16CO Existing forwarded ports or NAT entries from your router Page 7 of 18...
Your router’s internal IP address This is typically the same as the “default gateway” from the above information. Your router’s public IP address You can find this by visiting www.whatismyip.com. Your router’s username and password If you do not know this information, you will need to look in your router’s manual or contact your network administrator or internet service provider.
Your AP-9060/AP-16CO’s password You will need the administrative password for your AP-9060/AP-16CO so that you can log into it and make changes. Your default user password is 111111. If your defaults have been changed, you will need to get this information from within your organization. Existing port forward / NAT information You need know your existing port forward and/or NAT settings before adding new ones in order to avoid conflicts.
checklist) is 96.226.2.104, you would simply open Internet Explorer and enter http:// 96.226.2.104/ in your address bar to view your AP-9060/AP-16CO. If you cannot acquire a static IP address, there are two possibilities. First, if your public IP address changes and you can no longer view your AP-9060/AP-16CO, simply browse www.whatismyip.com from within your network to see your new public IP address, and use that one until it changes again (usually several months).

Use the arrow keys to select the “Network” menu item, and press the “Enter” key to open the next menu. Page 11 of 18...
Before making any other changes, change the “IP Mode” to “Static.” Using the information you wrote down in the “Gathering Information” section of this guide, update the “IP Addr,” “Sub Net,” and “Gateway” settings. Please be aware that this DVR DOES show the leading zeros for each octet of an IP address or subnet mask. Therefore, if you wrote down: 192.168.1.50 You would now enter:...
Testing Testing from your LAN (Internal) Open internet explorer and browse to the IP address that you assigned to your AP- 9060/AP-16CO. You should be looking at the default screen for your AP-9060/AP-16CO. Download and install the NetViewer software. Run Netviewer.exe in the installation folder. Click the icon of two PCs connected by a cable in the middle of the right-hand side of your screen.

Enter the following information: Internal IP address UserID (admin) Password (default is 1111) AV Port: 5000 Max Channel (9 for AP-9060, 16 for AP-9016) Video Size: Full Size Video Source: NTSC Frames/Sec: 30 AVI Codec: Whichever Codec you wish to use for saving video files to your PC. Finally, click the connect button.
Testing from the WAN (Internet) You should be able to substitute your public IP address for your internal one (see your information gathering checklist) from a PC outside your network (Viewing a AP- 9060/AP-16CO at your office from home or vice-versa) and achieve the same result. For example, if your public IP address is 96.226.2.104 and your AP-9060/AP-16CO uses port 81 for its web server, you would browse to http://96.226.2.104:81.
