Introduction:
This guide will walk you through the steps needed to connect your DVR to a basic local area network, and
to set up your DVR so it may be accessed over the internet. This will allow you to monitor your cameras
from anywhere you have internet access.
If you have a network administrator, consult them before proceeding.
1) Open the Advanced Config menu:
2) From the Advanced Config menu, Navigate to the Network tab
3) From here set Network Type to DHCP, and set PORT to '88'. Exit the Menu to save settings. This will
ensure the DVR acquires a compatible, unused IP address
4) Return to the Network tab by following steps 1 and 2 again. From here record the Internal IP address,
GATEWAY and NETMASK numbers for later usage.
5) Set Network type back to STATIC and manually assign the details that were recorded in step 4. This
will ensure that a new IP address is not assigned to the DVR if it loses power. Take care not to
manually assign this IP address to any other Device on the network*
*Not all Routers will take static IP addresses into consideration when auto assigning devices, this
may still cause conflicting address problems.
Allowing access from the internet:
1) Using an internet browser such as Internet explorer or Mozilla Firefox navigate to
www.portforward.com
2) Record the External IP address found on the right hand side of the webpage below the forum
link.
3) Using the drop down list on the left hand side select the make and model of your router.
4) From the list displayed, select HTTP.
5) The guide that loads will provide step by step instructions on how to forward port 80, Follow
these instructions replacing port 80 with port 88.

12
DDNS
DDNS gives your DVR a unique name that you may use to connect to it over the internet. This
has an added advantage over using the External IP Address from the previous section, as your
IP address may change at your Internet Service Provider’s Discretion.
1) Enter the Advanced Config Menu and select Network.
2) Select the DDNS Tab.
3) Switch DDNS to ‘ON’.
4) For SYSTEM NAME select ‘default’.
5) Record CURRENT HOST ADDRESS.
(In the format MAC************@ddns.dvrtw.com.tw)
You may substitute this address wherever you use your External IP Address.
