To view the DVR Connection (DCI) Embedded DVR server’s images using a Windows mobile phone, iPhone or a

PDA, certain networking requirements must first be met. Although not necessary, it is highly recommended to establish and static IP address and the fastest Internet upload connection on the DVR site for the best possible viewing. The DVR networking must be configured for connecting to the Internet as well as being accessed remotely. If there is a router in the network circuit, then it must be configured for allowing access to the DVR from a remote location. NOTE: Please read and follow all instructions regarding the write protection utility included with the DVR in entirety, before changing any settings on the DCI DVR server. Failure to do so can cause failure in the operation of the DVR. To configure the DCI Embedded DVR networking environment for remote access via mobile devices, you need to obtain the router (if present) or the modem IP address by contacting the Internet Service Provider (ISP) or referring to the user’s manual for those devices. In this instruction guide we assume that the router is a Netgear router and it has an access IP address of 192.168.1.1.

Start Internet Explorer (IE) from any other computer on the LAN or the DVR desktop

Type www.whatismyip.com in the address field and store the IP address shown

Type the IP address 192.168.1.1 into the address line and press enter

Enter the login information for the router to access the configuration screen (In this example type “admin” for username and “password” for password)

Search for the Port Forwarding section of the router (Picture 1 below shows the Netgear router’s screen)
