Network Configuration
Setting up your Home or Office network to allow your DVR to be accessible externally can be kind of
tricky, but I will try to explain basic network concepts to allow you to configure your network.
First, you must review your network scheme to identify if your DVR is within the same network scheme.
There are a few ways to identify your network by simply going to the “Command Prompt” in your
Windows PC. If you are using MAC (Apple) you can use the application called “Terminal”. See the
examples below:
In order to take a snapshot you have to donwload the footage from the DVR to a flash drive or DVD, then you can use the Video Player that we provide to view the footage. When you are reviewing the video there is an button that looks like a “Hand” ; that’s the snapshot Button. Normally this pictures will be saving under C:/Program Files/player/Pics. You can easy change the path to a suitable location in your Hard Drive.

Security cameras utilize two basic lens types based on focusing parameters. These are called fixed lenses and varifocal lenses. Fixed lenses have a “fixed” focal length while varifocal lenses have a focal length that can vary. A more familiar term used for electric powered varifocal lenses is a “Zoom” lens; we will “focus” (pun intended) on the fixed type in the following article.
There are many types of remote security cameras and many ways to view the cameras remotely. There are even security cameras designed for home use that are wireless and can be viewed on a standard television. However, when we speak of most robust, professional security systems that permit remote viewing, we are talking about IP cameras or IP systems. IP, which is a computer technology abbreviation that stands for Internet Protocol, permits a variety of remote viewing options for security cameras.
