CONNECTING TO YOUR SAMSUNG

DVR AND VIEWING LIVE AND

RECORDED VIDEO - (INTERNAL VIEWING ON THE SAME NETWORK)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before you attempt to test the configuration from a remote location, you should perform some tests

internally (on the same network where the DVR is located) and attempt to connect to the DVR using the

Samsung

SMARTVIEWER software.

USING SMARTVIEWER REMOTE SOFTWARE TO CONNECT:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using the SMARTVIEWER software that came with your DVR, you can connect to the DVR by going to the

INTERNAL IP address of the DVR.

Follow the steps below to connect with the SMARTVIEWER software:

Step 1)

Run the SMARTVIEWER software. The first step is to add the internal remote site for viewing

the DVR. Once the SMARTVIEWER software opens, click in the lower right corner as shown in the

screenshot shown below (circled in red). Doing this will enter the SETUP where you need to add the

INTERNAL site.

*IMPORTANT! - DO NOT USE the TZO Domain name when connecting internally, in most cases the

domain name WILL NOT WORK from the internal network. Once you have tested the INTERNAL IP with

success, you can then try the domain name from a remote location.
