using the same router as the DVR, set up the network settings using either the DHCP
option or assigning a static IP address:
To Setup DHCP (Most common routers are DHCP)

address does not change.) Push the INFO

window change to static, and enter the IP
addresses from the info screen.

Static IP: To obtain the router settings, go to the Run Option on a computer that is attached

same router. For example: if the IP address of your computer in the ipcong was a single or
two digit number, use a number in the 100s, if in the 100s, use 200.

APort Forwarding
To access the DVR from a remote computer over the internet via internet browser
(Internet Explorer).
1Forward Port 80 and Port 2000 on the router attached to the DVR, to the IP address
of the DVR. *If you can’t use HTTP Port 80 or 2000 due to use or your Internet
Service Provider, use a different port in the same range. When selecting a different
port, forward the IP address of the router to the new port and change the settings in
the DVR Network settings. You will also need to add the new port to the end of the IP
address in the browser window. For example, if you use port 83, you add :83 to the
end of the IP address.

popular routers go to
