CHAPTER 7 REMOTE SUR
VEILLANCE
7.5 ACCESSING THE DVR THROUGH INTERNET EXPLORER
Once you have configured the network settings on the DVR to match those on your router
and forwarded the ports needed by the DVR to enable remote access over the Internet, you
will be ready to remotely view your cameras using a webcam program based on an ActiveX
control. For this to work, you will have to enable the ActiveX control options that are built into
Internet Explorer. It is strongly suggested that you be running the latest version of Internet
Explorer (currently IE8). The instructions below will describe the process using that version of
the browser. Instructions for users with IE6 or 7 are available in the Resources library of our
Technical Support page.
