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)

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.
