5.15    Accessing the DVR over a network 

To access the DVR through a computer you need to make sure the default gateway on 

the DVR is the same IP address as your router, and the first three sets of numbers of the DVR 

IP address are the same as the first three sets of numbers of router’s address. Example: if your 

router’s default gateway is 192.168.1.1 then the default gateway setting in the DVR should be 

192.168.1.1, and the first three sets of numbers on the DVR's IP address should be 192.168.1. 

The last set of numbers has to be different then  those on any other devices attached to the 

router to avoid conflicts. The subnet on the DVR also needs to be the same as the router, 

example: if the subnet on the router is 255.255.255.0 the subnet on  the DVR needs to be 

255.255.255.0. To get the default gateway and subnet of the router,  on  a computer that is 

attached to the same router as the DVR, click on the start button, then click on run, then enter 

cmd into the box and click on OK. At the curser type ipconfig, the default gateway and subnet 

will be displayed.

   

You can access the DVR through an Internet Explorer browser window, or through the 

included client software program.   

 

To access the DVR through Internet Explorer: 

once you have set up the network settings on the 

DVR to match the settings of your router, you need to modify your browser controls. You need to 

allow Pop-ups. To do so go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the "tools" option, then 

select the "Pop up Blocker" option and select "Turn Off Pop-up Blocker.” You will also need to 

enable Active X controls. To do so go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the "tools" option, 

then "Internet Options", then "Security", then click the "Custom Level" button, and make sure the 

Active X Controls and Plug Ins  are set to prompt or enabled. To connect to the DVR 

from the computer you would then open an internet browser window and enter the gateway IP of 

your router. 

You will get a login screen were you will need to enter your user name and 

password (admin and 12345 by default). The first time you connect a webcam program will 

be downloaded to your system and you may get a message that an ActiveX control on the 

page may be unsafe but it is ok to click the Yes option to download the control and program 

since you have requested the program. This will take you to the Internet Explorer Webcam 

screen. You would click on the Camera Icon to display cameras.

 

If you wish to access the DVR through the included client software follow the installation 

instructions in the included manual.
