For the DVRs IP address you would enter the same first 3 sets of numbers as the gateway and select a fourth set of
numbers that is different then any other device attached to the same router. If the IP address of your computer in the
ipconfig (BLUE arrow in Figure 3.5.37) is a single or two digit number you should be ok with any three digit number, if
the computer IP address ends with a number in the 100s then you should go with a 200 number (ORANGE box in
Figure 3.5.38).
PPPOE:
If you are going to attach the DVR directly to a DSL or Cable modem instead of a router you will need to
select the PPPOE option in the NETWORK options. To do this you push the MENU key on the DVR to get to the
system menu, then select the ADVANCED option and then the NETWORK option (Figure 3.5.35) and click on the
NETWORK icon to display the NETWORK screen shown in Figure 3.5.39. Then select PPPOE from the drop down
box (GREEN box in Figure 3.5.39) and then select the OK button. You will need to contact your internet service
provider to get the User name and Password you need to enter into the spaces under the PPPOE check box.

DDNS:
You can access the DVR through a static or dynamic IP address; however a dynamic address can change
from time to time. How often depends on your service provider. When it changes you need to go to a website such as
www.myipaddress.com
from a computer attached to the same router as the DVR to find out what the new IP address
is. There are two solutions to this problem. One would be to get a static IP address from your service provider so that
you do not have to be concerned with the address changing. Another solution would to use a dynamic domain name
service to get a domain name that can be linked to your dynamic IP address.
The
DVR is setup to accept account
information from
myq-see.com
and
www.dyndns.com.
To access the DVR through a dynamic domain name you push
the MENU key on the DVR to get to the system menu (Figure 3.5.2), then select the ADVANCED option, then click on
the NETWORK option (Figure 3.5.35) to display the NETWORK screen shown in Figure 3.5.39. Select the DDNS
SETTINGS option (PURPLE box in Figure 3.5.39) and then hit the APPLY option. This will bring up a screen (Figure
3.5.40) where you can enter the domain name you registered with the domain name service and the user name and
