APPENDIX B: SETTING UP REMOTE VIEWING

Setting up the Remote Viewing Feature requires several steps. Networking skills are required to

correctly configure the remote viewing functions.

What Do I Need?

• DVR System

• A PC with the installed CMS-DH software

• A router (not provided with the system) and High Speed Cable or DSL Internet Connectivity

Network Setup / Remote Access Overview

To setup remote viewing:

2. Power the system on. You must connect the system to the router prior to turning on the

stem. This allows the system and router to communicate over the network.

3. Press and hold the Enter button on the front panel to find your system's IP address.

4. Enable Port Forwarding on your router. Refer t

o the included Router Guide and Basics of

Remote Video Access Guide for further assistance with your specific network setup and
