You can connect to your HDIP recorder on your own local network
(LAN), or from a remote location over the Internet. As a rule of thumb, if
you are connecting to a recorder within your building, you must use the
local IP address of the recorder, found on the recorder under LAN
setup. If you are connecting to your recorder from another building, you
will connect over the Internet using the public IP address or DDNS
address.
To connect from a remote location, you must use your DDNS address
or the public IP address of your recorder. To find the public IP address,
you can use a website such as
ipchicken.com or whatsmyip.org from
a computer on the same local area network as your recorder.
1. Open Microsoft Internet Explorer.
2. Type the local IP address of your recorder into the Address bar.

This is necessary for the remote connection to work. Click OK
to accept the application.
