4. NETWORK SETTING FOR REMOTE CONTROL

The following steps will guide you through the steps necessary to access your VISTA DVR
remotely via internet. Before proceeding, please connect your DVR to your router and obtain a
computer that is connected to the same router. And make sure that your computer can access
internet. After properly port forwarding your router, you will be able to access your DVR
through Internet Explorer and our client software.

4.1 Obtaining Your Network Settings

Open a command prompt on the computer

I. Windows Vista and 7 users

 Locate the Windows Icon in the bottom left corner of the task bar.
 In the Search box, type “cmd” or “command” to locate the command prompt.
 Following the available prompt, type “ipconfig” and press Enter.

II. Windows NT, 2000, and XP users

 Locate the Windows Icon in the bottom left corner of the task bar, click Run, type cmd or

command and press enter.
 Following the available prompt, type “ipconfig” and press Enter.

This will bring up a display of your network settings. Make sure to write down the IP Address,
Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. This will display the address of your router.

III. Now check for an open address on the network, make sure to use an address

that is in the same subnet.

(Example: if you‟re gateway is 199.63.134.33 you want to check for an address

available like 199.63.134.34 or 199.63.134.35, and so forth.)

 Static IP Address:

You can check the address availability by performing the “Ping” operation. E.g., type
“ping 199.63.134.62”.

48

 If there is a reply the address is already in use

 If there is no reply (request timed out, destination host unreachable) the address is

available for use.

 You have found an available address in the same sub-net, you can assign this

address (Static Address) to the DVR.

a) Enter the Network Configuration interface of the DVR.
b) Access Main Menu by right clicking on the monitor using a mouse and enter the

password at the prompt.

c) Go to System Configuration >> Network Configuration.

 Enter the available static address
 Subnet Mask (255.255.255.0, etc.)
 Enter Default Gateway address you made a note of earlier

 Dynamic IP Address:

You can enable the DHCP checkbox in the DVR Network Configuration interface.

a) Enter the Network Configuration interface of the DVR.
b) Access Main Menu by right clicking on the monitor using a mouse and enter the

password at the prompt.

c) Go to System Configuration >> Network Configuration.

 Check the DHCP radio box, and click Save.
 Reboot the system.
 Return to the Network Configuration to check what the current IP address is. It

will be listed under Current Configuration >> IP Address.

4.2 Confirm your DVR Connection

Open the Internet Explorer browser (Note that Internet Explorer (64-bit) is not currently
supported), type the IP address of the DVR in the Internet Explorer address bar.
E.g.: IP: 199.63.134.62, Web port: 85

49

Users need to input http://192.168.15.145:85 to access the DVR

 Internet Explorer will prompt you to install the ActiveX control.
 Click and install the ActiveX control.
 The user login interface will be displayed as shown:

User can select language, input correct user name and password to log in IE interface.
After successful log in, the following interface will appear.

4.3 Port Forwarding Your Router

By default, web Port: 85, media port: 9000
 Enabling Ports to be forwarded to a device on your local network will give users

remote access to the device from the internet. (Information for forwarding ports
through many brands of routers can be found at http://www.portforward.com .

50

Although this site doesn‟t specifically show port forwarding for DVRs, it can still be

useful.)

 Once you have accessed the router successfully, follow the steps to guide yourself to

the port forwarding interface. Once in the interface forward the following ports: http

port and client port.
By default, web port: 85, media port: 9000
 Every model of Router is different. A very helpful site is:

http://www.pcwintech.com/portforwarding- guides or refers to your ISP providers and

router manual.

*Helpful Tips:

- If you are unable to access the default router address, use the “Default Gateway” address.

- A reboot and reset of the default router settings may be necessary.

4.4 Confirm your DVR Remote Connection

Open an Internet Explorer browser and proceed to the website:

http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/openports, this tester will provide you your external IP

address and a port‟s status.

 Enter „85‟ (or your web port) in the Port number field.
 Click on the Check button. If you‟re port is forwarded successfully, you status will be

shown as open.

 Repeat step 1 and 2 for port 8000 (or your client port).
 If both ports are forwarded properly, use the external IP address to connect remotely

to your DVR from outside the network.

 To test this, have someone connect to the external IP address via Internet Explorer

off site, your login information will be the same as the DVR once connected.
