This can be configured by accessing the Main Menu, click the Advance Icon and then click the Network Icon. TYPE needs to be changed to STATIC. MEDIA PORT can be left at 9000. This is the Port which Internet Explorer will be using to view camera images. WEB PORT can be left at 80. This is the Port which Internet Explorer will be using to connect to the DVR. IP ADDRESS needs to be set as a valid IP Address for your network. If you know the local IP Address of your Internet Router (most routers are either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.254), then you can use this to help decide on an IP Address. The first three parts of the IP address will be the same as your Router i.e. 192.168.1. and you will have to assign the last number, which must be unique and not already in use i.e. 100 would result in 192.168.1.100. NETMASK in most instances this should be 255.255.255.0. GATEWAY must be set to the IP Address of your Internet Router. DNS in most instances this should also be set to the IP Address of your Internet Router. DDNS Settings, which only need to be changed if your Internet Router doesn’t have a static IP Address.

The settings that need to be configured can differ between different makes and models of Internet Router, but the most common configuration change is to do with the firewall settings. Log on to your Internet Router and click the Firewall settings menu. You will need to add an Inbound Service which allows traffic on the ports required to be open which are 80, Mobile Port “100” (unless this has been manually changed) and the Media Port “9000” (unless this has been manually changed). Save all configuration changes. If you don’t know how to configure your Internet Router, please contact your Internet Service Provider or the person who configured your Internet Router to get instructions about how to configure it or get this process done for you. Now your DVR should be fully networked and accessible on your local network and the Internet. Connecting using an iPhone First you must install the MEye application from the App Store.
