To ensure reliable remote viewing of DVR footage, it is highly recommended that users have
either Windows XP or Windows Vista installed on their computers, and that they use either
Internet Explorer 6.0, Internet Explorer 7.0, Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome as their
Internet browser.(In the appendix, there is an explanation of how to access the DVR using
Firefox or Google Chrome.)
6.2 Network Security Setting
Prior to setting up remote access, set the network security level by following the following
instructions:

the browser; from the dropdown menu, select “Internet Options”.
(2) Click the “Security” tab in the dialogue box.
(3) Click “Custom level” (at the bottom of the dialogue box) to set the security level.
