7 Remote Surveillance & Playback
Remote Live Surveillance
Surveillance system supports Remote Surveillance through LAN, Internet, and Intranet. Simply enable the Webcam function of the system on a computer which is connected to the Internet, and the computer system will become an Internet Webcam server. On any other computer that connects to Internet, input the public IP server address in IE browser (see 7.2.1 Finding Router’s Public IP Address), the end users can get high quality real time image from the server (depending on available bandwidth) and al so control the P.T.Z devices.
7.1 Remote Surveillance Server Configuration
Users should first enable the Web Camera Services in Basic Configuration (refer to Fig 7.1) and set other settings as shown below:

7.2 Setting up Router for Internet Access
To access the dvr card over the internet you would need to forward ports 80, 1159, and 1160 on the router that you have the PC with the DVR card installed attached to, to the IP address of the PC that has the card installed.
Notice: I f you c an not us e one o f t he HTTP por ts, s uch as 80 beca use it is bei ng used by anot her pro gram, or it is being blocked by your ser vice provider, you can use anot her port in th e same r ange. If yo u do so then y ou need t o forw ard the IP address of the router to the other port, change the port in the SuperDVR settings, and you need to add the port number after the IP address. For example, if you set the HTTP port as 8 2, you need to enter t he IP address as
192.168.0.25:82.
User name and password here are the same as that used on the DVR. The default is admin and 123456.
To get the IP address of the PC go to the start button, then click on run, then type cmd into the box and click ok. At the blinking cursor type in ipconfig. The box will now display the IP address of the computer and the default gateway, which is the IP address of the router. See Figure 7.2

7.2.3 Dynamic Domain Name Services
You can access the DVR card through Internet Explorer from a static or dynamic IP address; however a dynamic address can change from time to time. How oft en d epen ds on your service prov ider. When it changes you need to go to back to a website such as
www.myipaddress.com from the computer
with the DVR card to find out what the new IP address is. There are two solutions to this problem. One would be to get a static IP address from your service provider so that you do not have to be concerned with the address changing. Another solution would to use a dynamic domain name service to get a domain name that can be linked to your dynamic IP address. You can register on our support site:
myq-see.com and create a domain name, then
download the client software program and install it on the computer. This software will monitor your IP address, and when it changes it will link the domain name you created to whatever the current dynamic IP address is, so that you do not have to be concerned with the address changing and preventing you from accessing the DVR card. This service is provided free of charge to our customers.
7.2.4 T o A ccess through Internet Explorer
Once you have setup the network settings on the DVR to match the settings of your router and f orwarded the port s n eede d by the DV R (for remote acces s over the internet), you need to modify your browser controls. You need to allow Pop-ups. To do so go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the "tools" option (RED box in Fig 7.6), then select the "Pop up Blocker" option and select "Turn Off Pop-up Blocker” (BLUE arrows in Fig 7.6). You will also need to enable Active X controls. To do so go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the "tool s" option, then "Internet Options"(GREEN arrow in Fig 7.6), In the windows that opens (Fig 7.7) Go to "Security" (RED box in Fig 7.7), then click the "Custom Level" button (GREEN box in Fig 7.7), then click on OK (BLUE arrow in F ig 7.7). This will open the page shown in Fig 7.8. On this page scroll dow n to the Active X C ontrols and Plug Ins and make sure they are all set to either prompt (RED arrows) or enabled (BLUE arrows).
