The following setup guide is for the network installation and setup of the Cocoon DVR Kit using a
Wireless Cable Modem Gateway. This guide has been prepared to allow customers to view their
DVR over their home network or remotely from another PC/Mac or Android, iOS Smartphone.
For router or modem specific information please contact your network device manufacturer as
they will be best positioned to give you product specific information regarding network setup.
The following information should be used as a guide template, please make a backup of all your
network settings before you proceed. Ensure that you have connected the device to your
network via the Ethernet cable provided and that all your cameras are in working order before
proceeding. A set up tutorial video can be found at www.winplus.com.au/cocoondvr.html
Log in to your network device using Internet Explorer or
Safari. The IP address of your router/modem can
generally be found on the reverse side of the device.
