Accessing Your DVR with a Browser

You can access your VT-EH series DVR in the following ways:

1. The DVR’s MAC address

2. The DVR’s DDNS Host Name (by default this is set to

the MAC address)

3. Your external static IP address (if you have one)

Before you Begin:

In order to view your DVR remotely you MUST port forward BOTH the Web Server Port (the default is 8080) and the RTSP Service Port (the default is 5554). If you need assistance with port forwarding, please visit our website and review our DVR Networking Guide:

http://www.vitekcctv.com/Downloads/VITEK-DVR-NetworkingGuide.pdf

If you need further assistance, please reference your router’s manual or contact your Network Administrator/IT Professional.

1. MAC Address

The MAC address is a unique identiﬁer assigned to your DVR. By default, this address is listed as the DDNS Host Name.

Here is how to ﬁnd your DVR’s MAC address:

1. Access the DVR’s main menu by using the remote control, or using the buttons on the front of the unit.

2. The Setup box will appear. Select “System Setup.”

3. Select “System.”

4. Select “System Management.”

5. Select “System Information.”

6. The MAC address will be displayed here.

7. Bring up a browser (ex. Internet Explorer), and type: http://the-mac-address-of-your-dvr.dvrlink.net:8080 in the address bar. For example, if your MAC address was 001155555555, you would type: http://001155555555.dvrlink.net:8080.

NOTE: If you changed the port number, you will need to use that number, NOT 8080.

2. DDNS Host Name

The EH series allows you to name your DVR, and access it by that name.

Steps to name your DVR

1. Access the DVR’s DDNS menu: System Setup> Network>DDNS

2. Make sure DDNS is turned “ON.”

3. Highlight HOST NAME and change it to the desired Host Name, then select “OK.”

4. Select “CHECK” under DDNS Registration to make sure the name is available.

5. Select “TEST” under DDNS Connection to make sure you have a connection to the server.

6. Select “APPLY” at the bottom of the screen to apply your changes.

7. Bring up a browser (ex. Internet Explorer), and type: “http://your-ddns-hostname.dvrlink.net:8080/” in the address bar.

For example: if your DDNS Host Name was Johndoesdvr, you would type: “http://johndoesdvr.dvrlink.net:8080” NOTE: If you changed the webport, you will need to use that number, not

8080.

9. Open a browser (ex. Internet Explorer), and type: http://your-ddns-hostname.dvrlink.net:8080 in the address bar. For example, if your DDNS Host Name was Johndoesdvr, you would type: http://johndoesdvr.dvrlink.net:8080.

3. IP Address

If you have a STATIC IP ADDRESS, you can use this to access your DVR.

Steps:

Bring up a browser (ex. Internet Explorer), and type:

http://your.static.ip.address:8080 in the address bar.

For example, if your STATIC IP address was 10.10.10.10, you would type: http://10.10.10.10:8080

NOTE: if you changed the port number, you will need to use that number, NOT 8080.

Accessing the DVR LOCALLY

If you are on the same network as the DVR you will need to use the DVR’s IP address to access it.

Steps:

1. Access the DVR’s main menu by using the remote control, or by using the buttons on the front of the unit.

2. The Setup box will appear. Select “System Setup.”

3. Select “Network.”

4. “IP SETUP” should be selected by default. To the right, you should see the DVR’s IP address.

5. Bring up a browser (ex. Internet Explorer), and type:

http://your.DVR’s.ip.address:8080 in the address bar. For example,

if your DVR’s IP address was 192.168.0.2, you would type:

http://192.168.0.2:8080

NOTE: if you changed the port number, you will need to use that number, NOT 8080.

If your DVR is behind a router, the IP address listed here will be a LOCAL address. You can only use this address to access the DVR locally.

If your DVR is NOT behind a router, the IP address listed here should be your PUBLIC IP address. You can use this address to access your DVR from a remote location.

Browser Access

1. Type the URL or IP address into your browser.

2. Log in using defaults: Username: ADMIN (case sensitive) Password: 1234

You will be prompted to install ActiveX controls. Make sure you install all of these. (If you are not prompted, check your browser and/or ﬁrewall settings).

NOTE: ActiveX is a Microsoft technology that is used to add functionality to Windows programs.

ActiveX “controls” are often used to enable Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser to view and use multimedia content embedded in web pages (for example, Flash applications). They are also used to add new functions to the browser, i.e. toolbars.

FireFox, Safari, Chrome, and other browsers do not support ActiveX technology. As a result, experiences will vary when using different browsers.
