The SX-600 Series DVRs can also be managed remotely using an intel based Mac computer
and the Mac ViewClient software. To view the DVR remotely, you must first make sure you
have performed the necessary port forwarding. A port forwarding guide for your reference has
been provided in Appendix D. If you don’t have you WAN IP address or DDNS name, as well as
your web port already, you can go to the information menu on the DVR (Section 4.6.2) to get
your IP address (WAN) and Web Port. Please keep in mind that if you are accessing the DVR
from the same location that the DVR is installed in you must use the local IP address for access.
The WAN address will only work when you are outside of your location.
5.3.1 Installing the Mac ViewClient
To install the Mac ViewClient, simply download the ZIP file and click on the ViewClient
folder in your download files. Drag the ViewClient application into your applications folder to
install.
To add a shortcut to your dock, navigate to the application folder, find the ViewClient
application in your applications folder, then drag it and drop it onto your dock.
The first time you open the Mac ViewClient, you will need to find the applications in the
finder, and press and hold the “Control” Key and click the application. Then click “Open” from
the shortcut menu to allow the application to run.
