1 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, enter the public IP server address in an Internet Explorer browser
window. Remote users can get high quality real-time image from the server (depending on
available bandwidth) and also control the P.T.Z devices.

If your internet connection does not have enough bandwidth available you can use the Picture
Quality option to send the video over the internet at a lower quality setting then you are using
for recording. That way you will be able to see the images over the internet at lower quality
while still recording at the higher quality setting.
NOTE! The minimum speed on the internet connection is 1Mbps download
and 1Mbps upload for 4 and 8 channels, and 2Mbps download and upload
for 16 channels. You can check the speed of your connection at both ends by
going www.SpeedTest.net from both the computer in which the card is installed as well as
the remote computer which you will be using.
STEP 2. Type “ipconfig” at the prompt
(Red arrow in Picture 4) to access
router settings.
STEP 3. Write down the IP4v address
(Blue arrow) as well as the Gateway
and Subnet Mask numbers (Green
arrows). The IP4v address is the
address used by the card.

PART 2: DETERMINE THE NUMBER OF ROUTERS ON THE NETWORK
To find out the number of routers on your network, you will need to download a FREE router
detection program.
STEP 1. Go to
http://www.pcwintech.com/shanes-toolbox
STEP 2. Click on Detect Multiple
Routers to begin the download.
STEP 6. If there is only one router detected, then you may skip to Part 3: Simple Port
Forwarding.
If Multiple Routers are Detected
If there are multiple routers, you will see a
display similar to Picture 8.
If so, it may be preferable to connect your
DVR and computer to the router that
connects directly to the Internet. However, this
is not always possible depending upon your
particular situation.
STEP 3. Unzip the application to install it.
STEP 4. Click on the detect_routers
application to run it.
STEP 5. Click on CHECK NOW to
detect how many Routers are in the
network.
