11.3 Internet Browser Viewer
The DVR can be viewed from a PC without the use of the included NetViewer software. The only
requirement for this viewing option is that the computer used for viewing must have Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.0 or later. Most systems come with this software included. If it is not already on your
system, a free download can be found on Microsoft’s website.
Internet Browser:
1.
Open Internet Explorer
2.
On the “address” line, type in the IP address assigned to the DVR in Section 9.
??
Example (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

If the login screen fails to load, click on the REFRESH button at the top of the screen.
3.
The DVR login screen will come up.
4.
In the USER NAME box, type “admin”
5.
In the PASSWORD box, type the password you assigned to the DVR in Section 5.6.
6.
Once the program has started, the DVR can be controlled by clicking on the functional
buttons on the bottom of the screen.
7.
Under the DVR menu, click on the tab SETUP to change the DVR’s recording properties.

When finished with the viewer, click LOG OUT and exit the browser.

While multiple systems are logged onto the Viewer, if one user clicks LOG OUT, all
connections will be lost. If this occurs, start the above process again.
NOTE: Multiple computer systems may watch the Viewer simultaneously. Viewer refresh
rate greatly depends on the available resources on the LAN. With each
connection
to the Viewer, or other excessive strain on your LAN connection such as network
dependent software programs, the refresh rate will suffer.
NOTE: The remote viewer will function best when only one computer is directly linked to the
DVR, as in Section 9.1.1.
