c.The IP address you assign must be a private IP address. For information on what a private IP address is, consult the FAQ.
d.When configuring the DVR’s IP address information, the version of firmware within the units may display the IP addresses differently. For simplicity sake, 192.168.1.105 may have to be configured as 192.168.001.105

Accessing the DVR using the Remote Software for CASE A
LOCALLY :
To access the DVR locally, that is from your local network on site from where the DVR is installed. Open the remote viewing software and click on the “Settings” button.
As far as TCP/IP connectivity is concerned only 4 entries need to be made :
1.IP address : Input the IP address that you assigned the DVR. As in the above example I would input the private IP address of 192.168.0.105
2.Port : 50000(this has to match what is configured in the router and in the DVR)
3.User ID : (always leave the default “ admin “)
4.Password : this must match what is configured in the DVR
a)4,8,16 channel default : Blank (NO PASSWORD)
