Pic 3 Pic 4
For the DVRs IP address you would enter the same first 3 sets of numbers as the gateway
and select a fourth set of numbers that is different than any other device attached to the
same router. If the IP address of your computer in the ipconfig (BLUE arrow in Pic 3) was a
single or two digit number you should be ok with any three digit number, if the computer IP
address ends with a number in the 100s then you should go with a 200 number (BLUE box
in Pic 4).
PPPOE: If you are going to attach the DVR directly to a DSL or Cable modem instead of a
router you will need to select the PPPOE option in the NETWORK options. 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 PPPOE option box (GREEN box in
Pic 2) and then select the OK button. You will need to contact your internet service provider
to get the User name and Password you need to enter into the spaces under the PPPOE
check box.
DDNS:
You can access the DVR through a static or dynamic IP address; however a dynamic
address can change from time to time. How often depends on your service provider. When it
changes you need to go to a website such as www.myipaddress.com from a computer attached
to the same router as the DVR to find out what the new IP address is. There are two solutions
to this problem. One would be to get a static IP address from your service provider so that you
do not have to be concerned with the address changing. Another solution would to use a
dynamic domain name service to get a domain name that can be linked to your dynamic IP
address. We suggest
myq-see.com or www.dyndns.com since the DVR is setup to accept
account information from these two domain name services. To access the DVR through a
dynamic domain name 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. Select the DDNS button (PURPLE box in Pic 2)
and then hit the ENTER key. This will bring up a screen (Pic5) where you can enter the domain
name you registered with the domain name service and the user name and password that they
assigned you. You also need to enter this information into the appropriate section on your
router. You will then be able to access the DVR remotely by entering the domain name into a
browser window on a remote computer.
Note: You can get more information on setting up a myq-see account in the attached quick
start guide.
