2.6 Connecting the DVR to the Network

There are three methods to connect the DVR to the network: Router or LAN Connection, Direct HighSpeed Connection and OnetoOne Connection. For more information of the network, please refer to Appendix A. Network Overview.

2.6.1Router or LAN Connection

This is the most common connection in which the IP camera is connected to a router and allows multiple users on and off site to see the IP camera on a LAN/WAN (Internet). The camera must be assigned an IP address that is compatible with its LAN. By setting up port forwarding on the router, you can remotely access the cameras from outside of the LAN via the Internet. To remotely access the Web interface, please refer to 6. Remote Access to the DVR. To set up port forwarding, please consult the manual of the router or refer to Appendix B: Linksys & D-Link Port Forwarding.
