USER NAME:
This is the user name that you’ll need to use when logging into the
DVR via a mobile device. The default user name is “admin” - but this can be set to
anything you desire. We suggest changing this setting to something unique, to aid
in preventing unauthorized access to the data stored on the DVR.
USER PASSWORD:
The security password associated with the above user name,
which will allow you to access the DVR. The default password is “123456”. As
above, we suggest changing this value to something unique to better safeguard
the DVR against unauthorized access.
SERVER PORT:
The port number that your cell/mobile device will use to access the
DVR over the Internet. See the section on Remote Access (pages 51 - 55) for more
information about selecting and configuring ports.
Requirements
To access the DVR via a mobile device, the following conditions must be met:
•
A high-speed Internet connection with an upload speed in excess of 256kbps
(ideally above 512kbps).
•
The DVR attached to this high-speed Internet connection.
•
Your home network correctly configured to allow the DVR’s SERVER PORT
unrestricted access to the Internet. Typically, this requires enabling UPnP on
both the DVR and router. Alternately, you can manually forward ports
(not
recommended - use UPnP if you can!).
•
A compatible mobile device. Currently, the DVR4-1200 supports a mobile
device (such as a cellphone) running
Microsoft Windows Mobile
®
(6.1 or
higher)
or
Symbian S60
®
(3rd Edition or later), Blackberry OS (version 5 or
higher) Android,
or higher and
iPhone
.
•
The correct application(s) installed on your mobile device. See page 54 for
more details on how to use a mobile device to remotely access the DVR.
•
A sufficient signal to your mobile device (areas with intermittent coverage or
low signal strength will adversely affect the playback).
