MACINTOSH AND PC USERS
Once you have completed the above sections, you are able to operate your NVR remotely.
The sections below allow you to take advantage of additional features including the ability to
access your NVR using a conventional domain name and having your system send out e-mail
alerts. To access these functions, you will have to access your router to obtain your DNS
(Domain Name System) number.
STEP 1. Return to your router’s control
window.
If you did not have to open your
router in a previous step, simply open
a new browser window and enter
the Gateway address (covered in
Section 1.1)
STEP 2. Locate your router’s status
window (may also be named
“Information” or “Info”, it will list the
DNS number. You will only need to
use the primary set of numbers -
write it down for later use.
STEP 3. In the NVR’s Network window,
enter the DNS number in the area
marked Preferred DNS. You do not
need to have an alternate server.
STEP 4. Click Save to save your
settings.
