You can connect to your PRO Series 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 wide angle network (WAN)
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 web browser as an Administrator.
Refer to the manual appendix for instruction.
2. Type the local IP address of your recorder into the Address bar.
3. If you are using the Web Viewer for the first time, you will be asked
to accept the installation of ActiveX. Click

Note
When launching the Web Viewer for the first time, you may be
asked to install the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package.
This is necessary for the remote connection to work. Click OK
to accept the application.
4. Type the User ID and Password of an authorized user for your
recorder.
