Introduction
Thank you for purchasing our RVH series DVR.
Welcome to this step by step network set up guide for our
ICatch Rayvision DVRs, US411 RVH1004, US811 RVH1008, and
US611 RVH1016.
Following this guide you should be able to connect your
DVR to the Internet, and then you can view your DVR anytime
anywhere on any computer.
STEP-1 Activate DDNS Service.
All of our RVH series DVRs provide free Full DDNS service, allowing
you to connect your system to the Internet, even if you don’t have
Static IP address.
A. Every DVR comes with a software CD like the one shown
below.
You can also find the user manual to the DVR inside this CD quick
start guide and central management software.
On the CD there is a sticker with the username and password.
Each DVR is unique, so do not use the same username or password
you’ve already used before.
B. To start visit the following website to activate your Free DDNS
service using the provided user name and password on the CD
sticker :

Router is the bridge between your DVR and the Internet. We have
already set up both the DVR and the Internet, now we need to
connect them with the router.
Due to the various brand and model of routers in the market, this
guide might not cover all the aspect of setting your router. If you
have any problem following the guide or need assistance, please
consult a Network specialist.
This guide is mainly going to cover DLINK, LINKSYS and NETGEAR
routers.
Before you set up your router, please make sure that your
computer and DVR are hardwired connected to the router (not
wirelessly).
