2.6 Connecting the DVR to the Network
There are three methods to connect the DVR to the network: Router or LAN Connection, Direct
High‐Speed Connection and One‐to‐One Connection. For more information of the network,
please refer to Appendix A. Network Overview.

2.6.1 Router 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.
