The primary requirements for accessing the DVR via the Internet are:
A High-Speed Internet Connection
Video uses a lot of data, so you’ll need a fast Internet connection in order to get
smooth playback and monitoring remotely. Note that upload speed refers to the
rate at which an Internet connection can send data, not receive it. Most Internet
connections are ‘asymmetrical’, which means they can download data faster than
they can upload it. We think that an Internet connection with an upload speed of
256kpbs is generally su cient for remote access, but ideally upload speeds of
512kbps or higher are recommended - particularly for multi-channel playback or
monitoring at higher resolutions and quality settings.
Your DVR & Local Network Correctly Con gured
It is important that your local network function correctly, and that the information
entered into the Networking menu in the DVR (see “Network Menu” on page 30)
matches the general network settings.
The rst thing you’ll need to determine is whether your router requires devices to use
xed (STATIC) or dynamic (DHCP) addressing. Some routers can use either method,
whilst some only support DHCP, and others only support STATIC. If your router
supports it, we recommend using DHCP addressing with UPnP enabled, as it makes
locating the DVR from other devices on your network easier.
In a DHCP con guration, you do not need to enter the IP address, subnet mask or
default gateway values into the DVR - the router will automatically assign these.
For a STATIC con guration, the DVR needs to be told what IP address to use (this must
be unique) and the subnet mask, gateway address and DNS server address (these must
match the other devices on your network). The most common way of discovering these
values is to use a computer already connected to the network, which can access the
Internet.
Remote Access

1) 0 ~ 9 (Numeric Buttons): Used to
input numbers. 1 ~ 4 can be used as quick
channel changing buttons in a similar
manner to a television, and these will
work during either live-viewing mode
or playback. Additionally, the numeric
buttons will be used when inputting
any numerical information – most often,
your password.
2) ALL: Activates or deactivates the
entire area shown on screen to be
armed for Motion Detection recording
mode. Motion Detection will need to be
correctly con gured for this button to
function as described.
3, 7, 9 & 10) Arrow Buttons: Moves the
cursor in the appropriate direction when
navigating menus.
4) Rewind: During playback, this will
reverse the footage. Press multiple times
to increase the speed of the reversing.
5) Record: Press to immediately start
recording. This acts as a manual override
to the schedule and motion recording
modes. For a channel to be recorded in
this mode (or any other) it must listed as
‘active’ in the Camera Setup and Record
Setup menus.
6) Menu: One of the primary controls for
navigating through the menus. When in
live-viewing mode, it will enter the main
menu. When pressed in the main menu,
it will return the DVR to live-viewing
mode. Finally, when in a submenu, this
button will return you to the main menu.
8) SEL (Select): The SELECT button is
the equivalent of Enter/Return on a
computer keyboard. Use this button to
(as the name suggests) select an option
in the menus, or to con rm an entry.
11) Mute: Enables or disables the audio
output. This won’t have any e ect on
recordings - if you’ve con gured the DVR
to record audio, then it will continue to
do so while muted - you just won’t hear
it until you un-mute it!
12) Play: If pressed in live-viewing mode,
this will take you directly into playback
mode, and begin playing the most
recent recording. In playback mode, use
it to resume playback after pausing or
stopping a recording.
13) Fast-Forward: During playback, this
will increase the speed of playback. Press
multiple times to increase the speed of
playback further.
14) Stop: In playback mode, pressing
this button will stop playback.
15) Pause: During playback, will pause
the current recording and leave a still-
frame on screen. In live-viewing mode,
this will activate the auto-sequence
mode, where the display automatically
cycles through the available camera
signals (this must be correctly con gured
and enabled to function correctly).
