With your IP address, you can now log in to your DVR system either locally or remotely.

that your router automatically gave your DVR (see Port Forwarding section) or your static IP address given to you by your Internet Service Provider or IT administrator. To view remotely: In the address bar enter your IP address for your computer (not the DVR IP address). This is either your IP address received via “ipconfig” as described in Network Setup - “To get the router settings” or your IP address as described in DDNS setup or by going to www. whatismyIP.com. Note: For business applications, firewalls may restrict or mask the true IP address of your computer. You may need to contact your IT administrator to obtain this information.
