Port Forwarding
Once you have successfully set up and viewed your DVR through a router, you are now able to set up your router to view the DVR while at a remote location. This process is called Port Forwarding. Port Forwarding is required if you want to view the DVR from a computer that is not connected to the same router. This process opens a path on your home/ business network to allow you to view your DVR video feed from outside your network (over the Internet).
There are many makes and models of routers. You will need to follow the instructions from your router’s manufacturer for port forwarding. Consult online sources or have a qualified computer technician complete this task if needed.
Once you have successfully set up port forwarding from the modem where the DVR is located,
you will be prompted to enter your user name (default: admin), password (default:111111) and install ActiveX controls. You will now be able to view the DVR from any PC in the world with internet access and proper computer settings.
