Network Setup for Remote Access
Use the NETWORK SETUP menu to configure your network
and DNS settings for remote access. If you are only going to
access the DVR locally from a computer attached to the same
router as the DVR, you only need to configure settings using
either the DHCP or STATIC IP. Because you are on the same
network, port forwarding and knowing the public IP address are
not necessary. You will just access the DVR by entering the IP
address of the DVR from the NETWORK setup into the Internet
Explorer browser window. If you are going to take advantage of
the Remote Surveillance feature, such as for a smart phone or to
view your system outside of your network over the internet you
will need to review and set up Port Forwarding and the DDNS.
After you setup the NETWORK settings using DHCP , STATIC IP
or DDNS, see the REMOTE SURVEILLANCE section for further
instructions.
There are five options for configuring the DVR to be accessed
remotely: DHCP, Static IP, UPnP, PPPOE, and DDNS. To
access this menu, from the MAIN MENU click ADVANCED then
NETWORK SETUP. Be sure your router or network is connected
to the LAN port on the back of the DVR
DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP is a protocol used by networked devices (clients) to
obtain various parameters necessary for the clients to operate
in an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It allows you to quickly
connect to your network and obtain an IP address from the
router. After the initial setup, we recommend that you disable
DHCP, then select STATIC from the TYPE drop down box
and set the IP address between 1~100. For example, if your
IP address is 192.168.0.107, change the last digits to 90 (i.e.
192.163.0.90). This ensures that port forwarding will not change
in the event of power failure or resetting of your network.
To configure DHCP settings:
1. Select DHCP from the TYPE drop down box in the NETWORK
SETUP Menu. You should see the message
“Getting IP...” The router will assign an IP address. This is the IP
address you will forward port 80 to on the
router so you can access the DVR from remote computers See
comment above to configure a static IP.
2. Click APPLY. Click OK in the confirmation window.
3. If necessary, change the Media and Web Port settings
Static IP
You will need to setup the network settings on the DVR to match
the settings of the router to which your DVR is connected.
This information can be obtained through your computer.
Windows 7, Windows 8, Vista or XP all have similar ways to
access this data.
To get the router settings:
1. To access the router’s settings you will need to enter the
Command (CMD) panel on your computer. It must be connected
to the same router as your DVR.
•InWindows7,8orVista,fromthe“START”menutype“CMD”

2. Type “ipconfig” at the prompt and hit enter
3. You will get a screen that contains information similar to what
is shown below. Within all of the
information shown, locate the IPv4, Subnet Mask and Gateway
addresses. These you will enter
into the STATIC IP screen in the NETWORK SETTINGS menu in
your DVR. See next step.
To configure Static IP settings in the DVR:
1. Select STATIC IP from the TYPE drop down
box in the NETWORK SETUP Menu.
2. Enter your IP Address, Subnet mask, and Gateway info
you obtained from your computer through the previous
step in the respective fields using the Virtual Keyboard.
3. Click APPLY. Click OK in the confirmation window.
4. If necessary, change the Media and Web Port settings
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
UPnP Forum is an industry initiative designed to enable simple
and robust connectivity among consumer electronics, intelligent
appliances and mobile devices from many different vendors.
This protocol is designed to allow networked devices, such as
computers, printers, mobile devices to automatically discover
each other’s presence on a network and to connect seamlessly
for data sharing and communications.
NOTE: Your Router must support UPnP function to use this
protocol.
To configure UPnP settings:
1. Enable the UPnP function in your Router.
2. In this DVR, Open the MAIN MENU and click ADVANCE.
3. From the Advanced Setup menu, click NETWORK.
4. Under UPnP, select ENGAGE.
5. Click OK.
6. Using a remote PC, open Internet Explorer.
7. In the address bar, enter your Router WAN IP address
immediately followed by WEB PORT (no spaces). Example:
http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX(Router WAN IP):XXX(WEB PORT)
8. Enter your system ADMIN password and select INTERNET.
NOTE: If you have not enabled passwords on the system, leave
the password field blank.
9. Click LOGIN. PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet)
The Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a network
protocol for encapsulating Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) frames
inside Ethernet frames. It is used mainly with DSL services
where individual users connect to the DSL modem over Ethernet
and in plain Metro Ethernet networks. Use this option if you
are going to attach the DVR directly to a DSL or Cable modem
instead of a router.
To configure PPPoE settings:
1. Select PPPOE from the TYPE drop down box in the
NETWORK SETUP Menu.
2. You will need to contact your ISP provider for the user
name and password need to enter into the PPPOE NAME and
PASSWORD fields.
3. Click LOGIN.
4. If necessary, change the Media and Web Port settings.
