For maximum control and convenience,
your system should be connected to the Internet
via a local network
router. For installation, you must be able to access this network through a personal computer.
Internet connectivity allows you to use OvrC, a powerful remote maintenance service. See OvrC.com for details.
If your surveillance system is isolated from the Internet,
go to SnapAV.com and download the technical reference
manual for this product, which has a chapter that steps you through installation without using the web interface.
