2.You should receive a message in the right side of the “Test Your Port Screen“ screen, “Port Status Tool” stating that the port is online and can be reached, then you have set it up correctly. You will also receive an IP Address.

3.To connect to your DVR from the Internet, you will need to put the Internet IP address you received in the message into the browser or access program window. If you had to change your port from Port 80, then you need to put that port at the end of the address preceded by a colon (“:”). Example: if you used port 85, you will need to enter: http://75.14.251.43:85

Remote Surveillance

Remote Surveillance using Internet Explorer 8:

The DVR features built-in browser-based software that allows you to access your system remotely over your local area network (LAN) or over the Internet using Internet Explorer®. Once you have configured the network settings on the DVR to match those on your router and forwarded the ports needed by the DVR to enable remote access over the Internet, you will be ready to remotely view your cameras using a webcam program based on an ActiveX control. For this to work, you will have to enable the ActiveX control options that are built into Internet Explorer. You will also need to check your “User Account Control” setting. It is strongly suggested that you be running the latest version of Internet Explorer (currently IE8).
