To access the DVR from a remote computer over the internet you will need to forward port 80 and port 9000 of the Router the DVR is attached to, to the IP address of the DVR. You can get instructions on how to do this for most popular routers by going to www.portforward.com. Once there, click on the orange “Routers” hyperlink in the second paragraph as shown in Picture 12. Find the link to the brand and model of your router from the list of manufacturers and click the “next button”. From there, click on the orange “Default Guide” link (BLUE box in Picture 13). This will take you to the port forwarding instructions for your router.
When you access the DVR from a remote computer you also need to use a different address in the Internet Explorer browser window. Instead of entering the IP address of the DVR you need to enter the public IP address of the router the DVR is attached to. You can get this address by going to www.myipaddress.com from a computer that is attached to the same router as the DVR. This website will display your address as illustrated in Picture 14. The example below shows an IP Address of 76.254.183.54. Please make sure to take note of the address that you obtain for your own Router and use it accordingly.
