Configure your CVR8F for Remote Access
To be able to set your CVR8F up for Remote Access, you will first require:
An ADSL connection of 512/512 minimum (ADSL2 recommended).
An ADSL Modem which supports Port Forwarding (such as Sapido, D-link or Netgear).
An “External static IP address” from your Internet Service Provider.
An “Internal Static IP address” from your Modem.
A network cable between your CVR8F and your Modem.
A windows PC on your network to configure your modem.
Once you have these you can proceed to set up the Remote Access by:
1. Give your CVR8F the internal IP Address.
2. On the CVR8F change port 80 to port 88.
3. Ping the CVR8F from a local computer to ensure it is reachable on your network.
4. Port forward ports
88, 37777, 37778, 554
in the modem, to the “Internal IP address” of CVR8F.
5. You should then be able to test the connection to the CVR8F over the internet from a different
internet connection (or mobile on 3G).
Test your Remote Access by connecting to the CVR8F:
When you are in the same building as the CVR8F you will be able to connect via WIFI and use the
“Internal IP address” of the CVR8F. However when you are not where the CVR8F is and wish to connect
via the internet or 3G, you would use the “External static IP address” given to you by your Internet
Service Provider.
Port forwarding support:
There are many different brands and models of ADSL Modems which makes them difficult to set up, this
is why we must recommend an IT professional. Some manufacturers offer guides on their websites or
alternatively we can recommend Third-party assistance on configuring port forwarding from sites such as:
www.portforward.com
When using more than one CVR8F on a site:
Should you have more than one CVR8F on site it may be necessary to set the second machine to a
different set of port. For example set CVR8F 1 to port 88 and then CVR8F 2 to port 89.
Important:
Before Setting up remote access for your CVR8F, you will need a good understanding
of computer networks. If you do not, please seek the assistance of a qualified I.T. professional.
