6.1.2 Accessing the DVR on WAN (over the internet)
There are two ways that the DVR can be accessed over the internet.
1. Connect the DVR to internet through a router or virtual server.
STEP1 Input IP address, Subnet, Gateway. If using DHCP, please enable DHCP in both the DVR and router. If using a static IP address for the DVR then follow instructions in 6.1.1 STEP1
STEP2 Enter Video to set network video parameters like resolution, frame rate etc.
STEP3 Forward IP address and port number in Virtual Server setup of the router or virtual server. You can find instructions on how to do this in the router manual. You can also find instructions for port forwarding for most popular routers on the website http://www.portforward.com. On this website click on the orange “Routers” link in the second paragraph, then find the brand and model of your router on the list and click on the link. On the next page click on the orange “Default Guide” link, this will take you to the port forwarding instructions for your router. Close firewalls in Windows and in the router if applicable.
STEP4 If you are using a dynamic IP address for internet access you may want to use a dynamic domain name To do so you would need to apply for a domain name in a DNS server supported by the DVR or router. Then add this information to the DVR and router.
This DVR currently only supports www.dns2p.com or www.88IP.net.
To enter the DNS information in the router, please check the router manual. STEP5 Open IE browser, input IP address, or dynamic domain name and hit enter. If HTTP port is not 80, add the port number after IP address or domain name.
STEP6 IE will download the ActiveX control automatically. Then a window pops up and asks for user name and password.
Notice: If you cannot download and install ActiveX, please refer to Appendix A FAQ Q7.
Input name and password correctly, and enter to view.
2. Connect the DVR to internet directly through ADSL or cable router.
STEP1 Get IP address, Subnet, Gateway information from your ISP and enter it into the DVR. If using ADSL, please input user name and password, and click OK. The DVR will connect to the server and show “connection succeeds”.
