Preparation and Equipment
Before delving into the process, it's essential to gather the necessary equipment:
- **ADSL Broadband:**
Ensure that your ADSL broadband is active and operational. Keep the ADSL internet username and password readily available.
- **Router Installation:**
Install a compatible router (such as TP-LINK 410) and connect it to your computer and the video recorder. Follow the router's instruction manual to configure settings. Set the router's internet connection to "Automatic," and verify that internet access is functional on your computer.
Setting Up the Video Recorder for IE Remote Monitoring
- **Network Check:**
Confirm that the video recorder's network connection is functional and that it operates smoothly.
- **Network Settings:**
Access the video recorder's settings interface. Navigate to "Network Settings" and select "Static IP." Modify the static IP to "192.168.1.110," the gateway to "192.168.1.1," and the subnet mask to "255.255.255.0."
- **IE Browser Configuration:**
Ensure that your IE browser is properly configured for remote access to the video recorder. Enable ActiveX controls and plugins as per the manufacturer's recommendations.
Access the video recorder's interface by entering "192.168.1.110" into the browser's address bar. Install any required plugins, and after installation, access the video stream. Adjust settings as necessary.
Router Configuration for Remote Monitoring
- **Router Access:**
Access your router's interface by entering "192.168.1.1" in your browser's address bar.
- **Port Forwarding:**
Set up port forwarding rules as shown in the manual for your router. Create rules to forward traffic to the video recorder's IP address.
- **DMZ Configuration:**
Configure the DMZ host by entering the video recorder's IP address ("192.168.1.110") and enabling the DMZ option.
- **Dynamic DNS Setup:**
Configure dynamic DNS (DDNS) using the provided dynamic domain name, username, and password. Enable DDNS and save the settings.
