6-1: NETWORK INSTALLATION & SETUP
IMPORTANT:
If you have an existing computer connected to the internet, you will need
to use a router to connect your DVR to the network so both your computer and DVR can
access the internet at the same time. Port forwarding is required if connecting your DVR to
a router. Please refer to Section 6-2 for a detailed port forwarding guide.
NOTE:
If accessing your DVR from the Internet, it is recommended that you use the DDNS
service outlined in Section 6-4. This service provides you with an easy way to login to your
DVR from a secure website.
