Remote Viewing Setup for Static and Non-Static IP
This will allow you to setup the network for remote viewing. (Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher required)
Make sure to have an Ethernet cable coming from your router plugged in to the Ethernet port of the DVR.
Static or Non-Static Internet IP address: How to check what you have
- If you’re not paying hundreds of dollars for your internet, then more than likely you do not have a
Static internet IP address.
- You can check your router’s “SETUP” page, under internet setup to see if you have static or non -
static internet IP address. Your router will state “Static IP” on this page if you have a Static IP
address, if it doesn’t display “Static IP”, then you have a non-static internet IP address.
Note: Before calling Sumas Media for assistance, please have your IP address ready. (Read below)
Different brands and models of routers will have different ways on how to check you internet IP address. Please
check your routers user manual or call you internet provider for assistance.
If you cannot see the setup page or the internet IP is not shown or you’re not sure, please contact your
internet service provider for assistance.
You will need to setup local remote viewing (viewing from a computer on the same network)
first before you can view your DVR outside your network. You can setup the local remote
viewing by following the steps below.

remote viewing ONLY. We recommend changing the “IP Config” status to back to “Static” to avoid the IP address from being changed

computers IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.
- Depending on how many computers you have in the network, you will need to change the last set of
numbers on the IP Address before inputting the IP Address on your DVR. For example: If your
Computer’s IP Address is 192.168.1.101 and you have only 1 computer you will use 192.168.1.102,
192.168.1.103, etc…, as the IP Address for your DVR. Subnet Mask and Default Gateway must be
copied exactly the same to the network settings of the DVR.
