Remote Access from a Mobile Device
The DVR4-2000 supports access from mobile devices, such as mobile phones with
Microsoft Windows Mobile
®
as their operating system, as well as the increasingly
popular iPhone. To correctly configure your DVR for remote access via a mobile
device, or indeed any remote access, it is important to have your network and
Internet connection configured correctly. Typically, this is a matter of forwarding
ports from your router to specific devices (in this case, your DVR).
Setting up the DVR for Mobile Access
Enter the 1. Main Menu.
Navigate to 2. Devices.
Select 3. Mobile.
Enter a 4. USERNAME and PASSWORD for mobile access. This may be the
same or different to your regular password, depending on your security needs.
We suggest using a different password for mobile access, but something that
you’ll remember.
Choose a 5. PORT for remote access. This port will need to be properly forwarded
from your router to ensure maximum bandwidth for sending footage.

Go to the 1. iTunes Store, and search for an application called APlayer.
Download and install this app.2.
Run 3. APlayer.
