Remote Access via Internet Explorer
The easiest way to access your DVR remotely is via an Internet browser. These instructions will detail how
to access the DVR via Microsoft Internet Explorer
®
. This section assumes that you’ve already configured
the DVR and your network to operate properly. Remotely accessing the DVR via Internet Explorer (IE) is
a great way to test if your network is functioning as it should.
At the time of writing, the DVR supports up to 3 users accessing the DVR remotely at a time.
Note: You may have to alter and configure the ActiveX controls in IE to allow unrestricted access to the
DVR. Access might be slowed or blocked completely by IE’s built-in security functions. The instructions
on how to do this are covered on the next page.
To access the DVR remotely via Internet Explorer:
1. Open an Internet Explorer window. If you do not have Internet Explorer you can download it from
the Microsoft website (www.microsoft.com).
2. In the address bar type “http://” followed by your public IP address, a colon then your web
port. For example, if your web port is “85” and your public IP address is “210.9.10.115”, then
you’ll need to enter the information, shown on the image, immediately below these words.
3. You will now see a login window. Here, enter
your password. If no password is set, leave this
dialog box blank.
4. You should now have access to the DVR.
