next to the DHCP check space, and put your NVR on your network. This process may take a few minutes.
Once this process is completed, open an internet browser window using Internet Explorer, and type in http://
followed by the IP address assigned by your router. Your NVR should show up, and is now accessible on your
local network.
You may also wish to enable your NVR to be viewed on the internet when you are away from your local
network – referred to as remote viewing. Remote viewing on another PC or Mac will use the same method
you use on your local network computer, but the NVR’s output must be available on the internet so that
Internet Explorer can find it from a remote location, a process known as “port forwarding.” Your Internet
Service Provider – or ISP (such as AT&T or Infinity/Comcast) will often set your NVR up for you once it is
available on your local network. Call them first, and they can walk you through the process, or sometimes they
can “take over” your router and do the set up for you. You will need your router’s brand & model number. TIP:
www.PortForward.com has instructions for many models of routers.
Note: You can also view your cameras on Apple Iphone / Ipad, and Android devices with an
optional viewer app, available here: http://www.ClearViewcctv.com/NVRs/Ipad-Iphone-Interface/
If your ISP cannot assist you, you can enter numbers manually in the NETWORK screen. Log in to the NVR
with your User Name & Password, go to SETTINGS then to NETWORK SETTINGS and enter:
•TCP port: Default value is 37777. You can change if necessary.
•UDP port: Default value is 37778. You can change if necessary.
•HTTP port: Default value is 80.
When these values are entered, hit SAVE at the bottom of the window. Write down your NVR’s IP address
(2nd line on the screen above), and then back out through the SETTINGS and MAIN MENU. Once you hit
“SAVE”, give the changes a few minutes to work through your ISP’s system. Check if your NVR is online by
entering it in Internet Explorer as http://enter your IP address
ClearView gives you a FREE DDNS service - when you register your new NVR online!The DDNS (Dynamic
Domain Name System) automatically keeps your NVR online, and gives your NVR an easy to remember “host
name” rather than a numeric IP address - myNVR.no-ip.com for example instead of 198.102.10.55. DDNS will
also automatically update your NVR if your IP address changes
(which can happen if you don’t pay your ISP extra for a “static IP.”)
To use DDNS, first log into your NVR, navigate from the 'Main
Menu', to 'Settings,' and then 'Network'. Under the 'Advanced'
section, double click the DDNS section and highlight the 'enable'
button. Next, you will be given the choice – depending on model - of
either No-IP, DYDNS, ICRDDNS or ClearViewDDNS - any of these
DDNS hosts are FREE – choose one.
Now, on your computer, go to http://register.ClearViewcctv.com
and register your NVR, and on that screen select the DDNS host you decided on, and you will be given a host
name. Write that name down. Back on your NVR, select the 'custom domain name' option, click in the
'domain name' space, and input the host name you were given. Everything else is already in place. Enter in
your e-mail address under it to track it at a later time. Test your setup by clicking the 'test' option. You will get a
success prompt if everything goes well. Click 'ok' to exit and save your information.
TIP: Save / Bookmark your new address as a “favorite” for easy access.
