Take the values for Subnet Mask and Default Gateway and input them into the DVR; these
values should be exactly the same in both devices. However, you should change the last
number of the IP address. For example, if the IP address of the computer is 192.168.2.101, the
DVR’s IP address should be 192.168.002.050.
To access the DVR from a computer simply open Internet Explorer and in the address bar type:
http:// (IP address of the DVR)
Note: The DVR’s IP address will only work at the location of the DVR. To connect from a

The next step is to open ports within your router. Log into the router using a PC and open the
following ports.
o Ports to open: 80
o If your Internet service provider blocks port 80, you can change it to a different port in the
DVR’s Network Menu Setup; open/forward that port instead.
o If you are using a Linksys or D-Link router, see Chapter 8 for basic support on setting up
ports. For any other router, you will need to contact the manufacturer for support.
