STATIC IP
The first number you wrote down, the DVR’s IP address, is what you can use to access your DVR while you are on the same network. This address can be entered into a Windows Explorer browser as you would a regular web address. See Chapter 2 Remote Monitoring for full instructions on using this feature.
However, in the event of a power outage or other event that causes the router to restart, the router will often reassign a new IP address to connected devices and you will have to repeat the procedure above to be able to log into your DVR.
In some situations where only your router is disconnected or powered off whlle your DVR is unaffected, you may have to restart your DVR to refresh the information on the Network Setup page to get the new IP address.
To avoid this issue, return to the Network Setup window and change the

IMPORTANT! As of this writing, 2Wire brand routers do not support Static IP. Because of this, in the event that your router has to restart, you will need to repeat the steps to obtain the new IP address. Connecting the router to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) can prevent this issue.
