QSDT8DP DVR User’s Manual

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 port numbers 80 and 2000 in Virtual Server setup of the
router or virtual server to the IP address of the DVR.
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.dyndns.com
or
myq-see.com
.
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”.
STEP2
The following steps are the same as STEP4-7 of the connection
way above.
