b. Check IP address in P.C and record IP Address, Subnet Mask & Gateway
Address.
Example: IP Address
192.168.0.
10 Subnet:
255.255.255
.000
Gateway:
192.168.0
.1
c. Connect LAN cable from router to DVR.
d. Assign DVR a private IP address Example :
192.168.0
.20
You need to assign the DVR an IP address similar to PC. The IP address you
assign must be unique but the first three levels must match your local network.
When configuring the DVR’
s IP address information, the version of firmware
within the units may display the IP addresses differently. For simplicity
192.168.0.20 may have to be configured as 192.168.000.020
1. Enter the DVR Menu – Go to Network Settings
2. Enter Network menu
3. SET IP ADDRESS (see above), Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000 (example),
GATEWAY 192.168.0.1 (example - Router local address), Service Port 8000,
HTTP Port 80, Protocol TCP and SAVE.
4. EXIT MENU.
5. Now turn Router off and on. This will take about one minute to reset.
6. Your DVR is now ready for access via the local PC using the Client Software.
7. Refer to your modem/router manual for instructions on how to configure it to
allow incoming Internet access.
8. If you fail to access DVR check all steps again.
