The DVR supports access from mobile devices, such as mobile phones with Microsoft
Windows Mobile
®
as their operating system, as well as the increasingly popular
iPhone. To correctly confi gure your DVR for remote access via a mobile device,
or indeed any remote access, it is important to have your network and Internet
connection confi gured correctly. Typically, this is matter of forwarding ports from
your router to specifi c devices (in this case, your DVR).
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 confi gured to allow the DVR’s SERVER PORT
unrestricted access to the Internet. Typically, this requires enabling UPnP
(recommended) or forwarding ports (not recommended).
•
A compatible mobile device with a supported platform (see below).
•
The correct application(s) installed on your mobile device.
• A
suffi
cient signal to your mobile device (areas with intermittent coverage or low
signal strength will adversely aff ect the playback).
Setting up the DVR for Mobile Access
1.
Enter the Main Menu.
2.
Navigate to Devices, and select Mobile.
3.
Enter a USERNAME and PASSWORD for mobile access. This may be the same
or diff erent to your regular password, depending on your security needs. We
suggest using a diff erent password for mobile access, but something that you’ll
remember.
4.
Choose a PORT for remote access. If UPnP is not enabled, then this port will need
to be properly forwarded from your router to ensure maximum bandwidth for
sending footage.
