MAC (Media Access Control) address is your
computer’s unique ha rdware identity code. (On an
Ethernet LAN it is the same as your Ethernet
address.)When you are connected to the Internet from
your computer (or host as the Internet protocol thinks of
it ) a corresponding table relates your IP address to your
computer’s physical (MAC) address on the LAN.

IP ALLOCATION: The DVR supports DHCP and Static
IP modes. If using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configure
Protocol) mode you must have a DHCP server in your
LAN, otherwise DVR can not get an IP address
automatically. If using STATIC mode you should set IP
address, sub mask and gateway ma nually for the DVR.

GATEWAY: In enterprises the gateway is the computer that
routes the traffic from a workstation to the outside network
that is serving the Web pages. In homes the gateway is
usually housed at the ISP. The gateway address i s provide d
by your ISP. If you have the DVR attached to a router then
the router’s address will be the gateway.

[NOTE]You need to adjust the IP ADDRESS, SUBNET MASK and GATEWAY value, only when the

Accessing the DVR over a network

To access the DVR through a computer you need to make sure the default gateway on the DVR is
the same IP address as your route r, and the first t hree sets o f numbers o f the DVR IP address are the
same as the first three sets of numbers of router’s address. Example: if your router’s default gateway
is 192.168.1.1 then the default gateway setting in the DVR should be 192.168.1.1, and the first three
sets of numbers on the DVR's IP address should be 192.168.1. The last set of numbers has to be
different then those on any other devices attached to the router to avoid conflicts. The subnet on
the DVR also needs to be the same as the router, example: if the subnet on the router is

255.255.255.0 the subnet on t he DVR needs to be 255.255.255.0. To get the default gateway and
subnet of the router, on a computer that is attached to the same router as the DVR, click on the start
button, then click on run, then enter cmd into the dialog box and click on OK. At the curser type
ipconfig, the default gat eway and subnet will be displayed.

To access the DVR through Internet Explorer: Once you have se t up t he ne t wor k set t ing s o n t he
DVR to match the settings of your router, you need to modify your browser controls. You need to
allo w Pop-u ps. To do so go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the "too ls" option, the n select
the "Pop up Blocker" option and select "Turn Off Pop-up Blocker.” You will also need to enable
Act ive X cont ro ls. To do so go t o t he Int er net E xplo rer t oo l bar and sele ct the "to ols" op tio n, t hen
"Internet Options", then "Security", then click the "Custom Level" button, and make sure the Active
X Controls and P lug Ins are set to prompt or enabled. To connect to the DVR from the computer
you w o uld t hen o p en an int e rne t bro w ser w indo w and ent er t he ga t ewa y IP of yo ur r o ut er. You w il l
get a login screen were you will need to enter your user name and password (admin and 111111 b y
default). The first time you connect a webcam program will be downloaded to your system and you
may get a message that an ActiveX control on the page may be unsa fe but it is ok to click the Yes
option to download the control and program since you have requested the program.

Accessing the DVR from a remote computer

To access t he DVR from a remote computer, in addit ion to t he above steps, you will also ne ed to
forward port 80 on the router the DVR is attached to, to the IP address of the DVR. (This port can
be changed if the port is currently being used by another program.) How you would do this depends
on the brand and model number of your router. You can go to www.portforward.com

to get
instructions on how to forward ports on most popular routers. To access your router's program you
would open an internet bro wser window and type the default gateway of the router into the address
bar at the top of the window. Then follow the instructions for your router.
