To configure the DVR you must enter the setup menu by clicking the setup icon.  A login window will display.  The default login information is admin/1111.  To enter the information click the keyboard icon next to each text box.  Use the mouse to input each field and click ok.  

Step2:

To configure the network feature click the "Network Setup" tab.  You may either configure the DVR to match network settings or you can configure your network to match the DVR.  The DVR and any networked PCs must have the same NetMask, Gateway, and IP (except for the last section which must be unique).  In this example the IP address for the DVR is 192.168.1.100.  Therefore, the IP address of connected PCs must have the IP address, 192.168.1.xxx (replacing xxx with any number that is unique to the network).

The default port is 88, however if this port is already being used it can be changed. Take note of the network port and the IP address, because the will be used to login to the DVR.

Remote monitoring is available in 2 formats, MPEG-4 and JPEG.  MPEG-4 is smooth flowing, however requires more bandwidth.  If remote monitoring is not desired you may select "Disable" from the dropdown list.

The network feature allows for DVR setup over the network.  Next to remote setup select "Enable" if this feature is desired, or "Disable" if not.

You may now click the icon in the top right corner to close and save.  You may also configure other settings before closing.

Step 6:

From the "General" tab select and highlight "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and then click properties.

The DVR and any networked PCs must have the same NetMask, Gateway, and IP (except for the last section which must be unique).  In this example the IP address for the DVR is 192.168.1.100.  Therefore, the IP address of connected PCs must have the IP address, 192.168.1.xxx (replacing xxx with any number that is unique to the network).  Once your network settings have been changed click "ok." You must also click "ok" on the previous window, "Local Area Connection Properties."

To access the DVR you must open a web browser and enter the IP address of the DVR followed by a colon (:) and the network port the DVR is on. In this is example the IP address of the DVR is 192.168.1.100 and the network port was 88, therefore we enter 192.168.1.100:88.  After the address is entered you may press enter.
