next to the DHCP check space, and put your NVR on your network. This process may take a few minutes.
Once this process is completed, open an internet browser window using
Internet Explorer
, and type in
http://
followed by the IP address assigned by your router. Your NVR should show up, and is now accessible on your
local network.
You may also wish to enable your NVR to be viewed on the internet when you are away from your local
network – referred to as
remote viewing.
Remote viewing on another PC or Mac will use the same method
you use on your local network computer, but the NVR’s output must be available on the internet so that
Internet Explorer
can find it from a remote location, a process known as
“port forwarding.”
Your
I
nternet
S
ervice
P
rovider – or
ISP
(such as AT&T or Infinity/Comcast) will often set your NVR up for you once it is
available on your local network. Call them first, and they can walk you through the process, or sometimes they
can “take over” your router and do the set up for you. You will need your router’s brand & model number.
TIP:
www.PortForward.com
has instructions for many models of routers.
Note: You can also view your cameras on Apple Iphone / Ipad, and Android devices with an
optional viewer app, available here:

If your ISP cannot assist you, you can enter numbers manually in the
NETWORK
screen. Log in to the NVR
with your User Name & Password, go to
SETTINGS
then to
NETWORK SETTINGS
and enter:
•
TCP port: Default value is 37777
. You can change if necessary.
•
UDP
port: Default value is 37778. You can change if necessary.
•
HTTP
port: Default value is 80.
When these values are entered, hit
SAVE
at the bottom of the window. Write down your NVR’s IP address
(2
nd
line on the screen above), and then back out through the
SETTINGS
and
MAIN MENU
. Once you hit
“
SAVE
”, give the changes a few minutes to work through your ISP’s system. Check if your NVR is online by
entering it in
Internet Explorer
as
http://enter your IP address
ClearView gives you a FREE DDNS service - when you register your new NVR online!
The
DDNS
(
Dynamic
Domain Name System
) automatically keeps your NVR online, and gives your NVR an easy to remember “host
name” rather than a numeric IP address -
myNVR.no-ip.com
for example instead of
198.102.10.55
. DDNS will
also
automatically update
your NVR if your IP address changes
(which can happen if you don’t pay your ISP extra for a “static IP.”)
To use DDNS
, first log into your NVR, navigate from the '
Main
Menu
', to '
Settings,
' and then '
Network
'. Under the '
Advanced
'
section, double click the DDNS section and highlight the '
enable
'
button. Next, you will be given the choice – depending on model - of
either
No-IP, DYDNS, ICRDDNS
or
ClearViewDDNS
- any of these
DDNS hosts are
FREE
– choose one.
Now, on your computer, go to
http://register.ClearViewcctv.com
and register your NVR, and on that screen select the DDNS host you decided on, and you will be given a host
name. Write that name down. Back on your NVR, select the '
custom domain name
' option, click in the
'
domain name
' space, and input the host name you were given. Everything else is already in place. Enter in
your e-mail address under it to track it at a later time. Test your setup by clicking the '
test
' option. You will get a
success prompt if everything goes well. Click '
ok
' to exit and save your information.
TIP: Save / Bookmark your new address as a “favorite” for easy access.
