Who is your Internet provider? ______________
ƒ
Please confirm that your internet service provider that our upload speed is at
least 256KBps.
What type of modem/router do you have? ______________
Modem/router model name/ #
The modem/router was either installed by your Internet service provider or purchased by
you to establish a connection to the Internet. A router is installed to allow multiple
computers to access the Internet through the same external IP address. It in turn assigns
different internal IP addresses to local computers for this specific purpose.
Do you have a static IP address? ______________
A Static IP address means you use the same IP address every time you log on to the Internet.
With a static IP address, other Internet users always know the identity of your computer
and can easily connect with it. That way, you can host a website, email server, or other type
of server connection. It is suggested to use a static IP address. If your Internet provider
does not offer a static IP address you have the option to use a dynamic IP address. This will
be explained in more detail later on in the chapter.
Do you have a dynamic IP address? ______________
A Dynamic IP address means your IP address changes each time you make a connection to
the Internet. We recommend asking your Internet service provider for a Static IP address. If
this is not a possibility, you may purchase a router (we suggest a Linksys or D-link router)
which supports DDNS. DDNS is a Dynamic Domain Name Server, a service that provides
a central (public) database where DNS information can be stored and retrieved. It allows
those using a dynamic IP address to be registered centrally so users can connect to it by
name.
What type of DVR are you installing? ______________
