Accessing the DVR from a computer attached to the same router: If you are only
going to access the DVR from a computer that is attached to the same router as the DVR
you only need to setup the information in the NETWORK settings using either the DHCP
option or assigning a static IP following the instructions below. Since you are just going
from one location to another on the same network port forwarding and knowing the public
IP address are not necessary. You would just access the DVR by entering the IP address of
the DVR from the NETWORK setup into the Internet Explorer browser window. After you
setup the NETWORK settings using DHCP or Static IP instructions skip down to the section:
To access the DVR through Internet Explorer.
There are 4 ways you can setup the DVR to be accessed remotely; DHCP, Static IP, PPPOE,
and DDNS.
DHCP: If your router is setup for DHCP, and most of them are by default, you can have the
router assign an IP address to the DVR. To do this you push the MENU key on the DVR to
get to the system menu (Pic 1), then use the Direction Keys on the DVR to select the
NETWORK option and push the ENTER key to display the NETWORK screen shown in Pic 2.
Put a checkmark in the DHCP option box (RED box in Pic 2) and then select the OK button,
then restart the DVR so the router can find it and assign it an IP address. To find out what
IP address the router has assigned to the DVR push the INFO button on the front of the
DVR. This is the IP address you will forward port 80 to on the router so you can access the
DVR from remote computers. Once the router has assigned an address through DHCP ignore
the default IP address, Subnet, and Gateway information that is displayed in the main
network window.

Static IP: You will need to setup the network settings on the DVR to match the settings of
the router that you attach the DVR to. To get the router settings you would go to the run
option on a computer attached to the same router as the DVR and type cmd and hit OK to
bring up a command prompt (Pic 3), then type ipconfig at the prompt (RED arrow on Pic 3)
to access the router settings. Write down the gateway and subnet mask numbers (GREEN
arrows on (Pic 3) so you can copy them into the network settings on the DVR (GREEN boxes
on Pic 4). Push the MENU key on the DVR to get to the system menu (Pic 1), then use the
Direction Keys on the DVR to select the NETWORK option and push the ENTER key to
display the NETWORK screen shown in Pic 4.
