6.1.2 On WAN
There are two ways that the DVR can be connected to the internet.
1. Connect the DVR to internet through a router or virtual server.
STEP1
Input IP address, Subnet, Gateway. You can get the Subnet and Gateway by going to the run option on a
computer that is attached to the same router as the DVR and typing cmd or in the run box and clicking ok. This will open a
dialog box. At the command prompt type ipconfig. This will show you the Gateway, which is the network IP address of the
router, and the Subnet. Enter these numbers into the network settings of the DVR. The IP address of the DVR needs to
have the same first 3 sets of numbers as the Gateway, but a 4
th
set of numbers that is different then any other device
attached to the router. If using DHCP, please enable DHCP in both the DVR and router.
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 to the IP address of
the DVR. Close firewall.
Note
:
The procedure to forward ports is different in different routers and servers please check your router manual. You can also find instructions
on forwarding ports on most popular routers at www.portforward.com.
STEP4
If you want to utilize dynamic domain name, you need to apply for a domain name in a DNS server supported by
the DVR or router. Then add to the DVR or router. Currently this unit only supports
www.dns2p.com
or
www.88IP.net
.
To set up the router, please check the router manual.
STEP5
Open IE browser, input IP address or dynamic domain name and enter. If HTTP port is not 80, add the port
number after IP address or domain name.
Note
:
If you are accessing the DVR from a computer that is attached to the same router as the DVR you need to enter the IP address of the DVR, if
you are accessing the DVR from a remote computer you need to enter the internet IP of the router. You can get this address by going to a website
such as
www.myipaddress.com
from a computer that is attached to the same router as the DVR.
STEP6
IE will download ActiveX automatically. Then a window pops up and asks for user name and password.
STEP7
Input name and password correctly, and enter to view.
Note: If you cannot download and install ActiveX, please r
efer to
Appendix A FAQ Q7.
2. Connect the DVR to internet directly.
STEP1
Input IP address, Subnet, Gateway gotten from your ISP. If using ADSL, please input user name and password,
and click OK. The DVR will connect to the server and show “connection succeeds”.
