Windows Dial-Up Networking 
Connection (i.e., not via the Internet) 
Notice: Due to speed and reliability 
considerations, dial-up connections are 
generally NOT recommended. Use a faster 
connection if you have a choice. Note: Dial-up 
networking is a feature of the Microsoft Windows 
operating system, NOT the Netvision software. For 
more information, refer to your Windows on-line 
help, or contact your network administrator. 
Modem Installation: 
•  A modem must be installed and set up under MS 
Windows on the Video Server PC and the remote 
station(s); 
For remote camera viewing and video playback 
(Through a dial-up Networking Connection): 
•  An incoming dial-up networking connection must be 
set up at the Video Server to allow remote 
connections from specific network users 
(this is typically done at the factory); 
•  An outgoing Dial Up networking connection must be 
set up at the remote station for connecting to the 
Video Server (details to follow / below). 
For Sending Alarm Alerts to a Remote PC 
(Through a dial-up Networking Connection): 
•  An outgoing dial-up networking connection must be 
set up at the Video Server for connecting to the 
remote station; 
•  An incoming Dial Up networking connection must be 
set up at the remote station to allow connections 
initiated from the Video Server.

Tip: Obtain suitable IP addresses from your
