most users, following the instructions in the Setup Wizard will establish a reliable connection for remotely
monitoring your system. The Remote Monitoring Setup poster provides instructions for more
complex network connections.

connecting your system and troubleshooting most connectivity issues can be found in the Remote
Monitoring Guide available from www.Q-See.com/support.

Most of the settings found in this window will have been made automatically as the DVR connects to the
network. If you are not having issues connecting to your DVR remotely, or connecting to your cameras,
you should not make any changes in this window as it could cause loss of connection.
