Introduction

WHAT IS P2P?

P2P, or Peer to Peer, technology elimates the need to
forward ports inside of your router and makes connecting to your
CVR/NVR as easy as scanning a QR Code on your mobile device. As
long as your CVR/NVR is connected to the internet, it can be accessed
from anywhere in the world using a mobile device or CMS software.

In traditional DVR systems, you need to forward ports and set
up a DDNS account but this is not nessesary any more. When you
enable P2P on your DVR, it connects to a centralized server and
registers it’s IP address in a reverse DVR-to-server style connection.
Your mobile device or software then connects to the same centralized
server and connects to your DVR directly so you can view and playback
video.

CVR/NVR Configuration

NETWORKING THE CVR/NVR

In order for P2P to work, you need to make sure the CVR/NVR is
connected to your network and eventually connected to an internet
connection. (CVR/NVR directly connected to your Modem/Router or
CVR/NVR connected to a switch/router which is then connected to
your modem). You can automatically get an assigned IP address from
your router by following the steps below:

From the MAIN MENU, select NETWORK in the SETTING section, then
select TCP/IP on the left side of the window:

If the local network is DHCP-enabled, select DHCP in the MODE row,
then click APPLY and then SAVE at the bottom right of the screen.
Next, reboot the CVR/NVR.

Once the CVR/NVR has rebooted, navigate back to the NETWORK
MENU, then change MODE to STATIC to prevent accidental

4

readdressing of the CVR/NVR. When finished, click APPLY and then
SAVE to return to the MAIN MENU.

If the local network uses static addressing instead of DHCP, contact
the network administrator for IP addressing information, then enter
the provided information in the NETWORK MENU using the mouse
and on-screen input keyboard.

HOW TO ENABLE P2P

Once you have your CVR/NVR connected to your network, you can
start the P2P connection process.

From the MAIN MENU, select NETWORK in the SETTING or SETUP
section (depending on your model), then select P2P on the bottom left
side of the window:

Make sure the box next to ENABLE is checked. If you have a good
connection to the internet, the STATUS will show “Connect Success.”

5

If the STATUS shows “Disconnected”, try restarting your CVR/NVR
after you click the ENABLE checkbox. If you are still disconnected after
restarting, please check to make sure your network is connected to
the internet and check that you have a good network cable from the
CVR/NVR to your switch/router.

Remote Connection

MOBILE APPS

There are two different mobile apps, depending on whether you are
using an Android Device or an iPhone. For Android devices, use gDMSS
Lite. For iPhones, use iDMSS Lite:

To add your CVR/NVR, you need to go to our Device Manager. Click on

the icon at the top left of the app and select Device Manager.

You now have two options to connect to your CVR/NVR: You can scan
the QR CODE by pressing the SCAN QR CODE button on the app and
scan the code found on your CVR/NVR under NETWORK -> P2P (see
image on pg. 4) or you can input the CVR/NVR’s SERIAL NUMBER (SN)
found under INFO -> VERSION. (See image below)

Once you have entered your CVR/NVR’s SN or scanned the QR Code,
you may enter a Name for your device. This can be named whatever
you choose. The default username & password is admin/admin.

Once you have entered all of the information, you need to SAVE the

device info for future connections. Click on the icon at the top
right of the app to save the device in your device manager.

After the device has been saved, go back to the Live Preview screen

and click on the icon at the top right of the app to enter the
Device List menu. Select the check box next to your newly created
device name and then click on Start Live Preview at the bottom of the
app.

At this point, you should see your live video streams. If you cannot
connect to your cameras, please see Troubleshooting on pg. 9.
