REMOTE NETWORK VIEWING - INTERNET EXPLORER
Step 1
To find your DVR premises' external IP address, using a PC at the DVRs location go
to www.google.co.uk and type in "what is my IP?". Any of the top search results
will take you to a website which will display your External IP address.
The first time you connect to the DVR from a new remote PC a security warning
message will pop-up asking whether you accept "web.cab" file. You must to accept in
order to be able to access your DVR.
(If the ''web.cab'' file pop-up fails to show or download, please reduce IE security level or
disable third party pop-up blockers and try again)
Note: If this is the first time you have connected to your DVR from this PC it will
take 4-5 minutes to load
Step 2
Note: If the initial network setup is not done correctly you will NOT be able to view
your DVR via a PC or mobile phone, either locally within the premises or remotely
or both. If you can view your DVR locally but not remotely this indicates incorrect
setup of your routers "port forwarding".

number is 5557 then you should enter http://94.135.246.12:5557 on
the address bar to connect.
