We  need to set the DATE & TIME, and then assign a PASSWORD for you. To do this, we need to use the infrared  remote control which came with the DVR – here’s a quick overview of the remote and what the assortment of buttons  on it do.

Basically, MOTION  RECORDING will allow you to configure the DVR to record only when something is happening in front of the camera.  This means that the hard drive will not be filled up with hours and hours of nothing happening! This is a great mode to  select if, for example, you use the DVR to record images of a location during times that it is

Well, whilst you’re backing up footage, the DVR automatically copies a small program onto the flash drive that will  allow you to access and playback the footage on a PC.     Insert the USB flash drive into a spare USB port on your PC, open it, and find the file named “PLAYER.EXE”.  Running this will give you instant access

Well, how about being able to monitor your security system from any  Internet capable computer on Earth, or even in low orbit if you travel that far from home? It’s pretty cool, and really  convenient. We’re not going to try and deceive you: this is a somewhat tricky process which does require some  knowledge of computers and networking.     Because of this, we recommend that only people famili

It is  strongly recommended that, unless you have experience in network creation and maintenance, that you use a DHCP  network: it is the easiest to set up and most robust over time (particularly when

The first is to configure your router for port forwarding. If you’re totally unfamiliar with what this entails, we suggest  talking to an IT professional.    The second important step is to determine your PUBLIC IP ADDRESS (sometimes called a “WAN [Wide Area  Network] address” or “global IP address”). You should
