7.1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on taking a step forward in protecting your valued possessions. Now that you have
your video security system in place, connecting it to the internet will allow you to view what’s important
to you with ease. You will learn about your product and will see that you can do this on your own. The
following is a step by step instruction manual on how to connect your system to the internet. You will be
able to view your DVR and even watch previously recorded footage with the touch of a button.
NOTE: This guide was created using a cable modem and some procedures will be slightly different
depending on your hardware. If you are using a DSL modem, you may need to enter your PPPoE
settings into the DVR (User name and password provided by your ISP.) For more information refer to
section 9.2 of the user manual.
Before you start lets make sure that you have everything you need to do this properly. You should have
these ready and connected before beginning:
• DVR connected to a router
• Router connected to the internet. In order for this DVR system to connect to
the internet, it must be connected to a router. If you are using a DSL internet
connection the setup process is much easier if you use modem with a router
integrated in it as this will help avoid any problems connecting your DVR. Please
write down the model # of your router in the important information section.
• A PC laptop or computer that is connected to the router so you can make the
necessary changes. This system is not Mac compatible. Your computer should
have the following specications:
• Internet Explorer Version 5 or higher. If you do not have this program, please
go to www.download.com and get an updated version. You can check your
version of Internet Explorer by opening the program. Go to the top menu selection
and in the Help menu options, choose About Internet Explorer. The version will be
