Getting Started
The DVR5100 remote client uses a secure VPN connection to connect the remote PC to the DVR5100 server. To continue, you must have the
DVR5100 network IP address and remote access key. You will find both on the DVR5100 Setup > System > Network screen.

SETTING UP SERVER CONNECTIONS

The DVR5100 Remote Client log-in dialog box allows you to administer DVR5100 network connections as follows:
• Add a new connection
• Edit or delete an existing connection
• Set up advanced security for a connection
