Appendix B: Setting up Remote Viewing

APPENDIX B: SETTING UP REMOTE VIEWING

Setting up the Remote Viewing Feature requires several steps. Networking skills are required to correctly configure the remote viewing functions.

What Do I Need?

• NVR System.
• A PC with the installed CMS software.

NOTE: For Mac users, please visit www.digimerge.com for instructions.

- A router (not provided with the system) and High Speed Cable or DSL Internet Connectivity (for remote viewing outside your network).

Network Setup / Remote Access Overview

To setup remote viewing:

  1. With the system powered off, connect the system to the router using an Ethernet cable.

Appendix B: Setting up Remote Viewing

How Do I Find My IP and MAC addresses?

The IP and MAC address of your system are necessary for DDNS setup. DDNS allows you to view and control your system from a remote location.

To find your IP and MAC address:

  • Press Enter on the remote control or front panel.
  • Left-click to open the Navigation Bar. Login if prompted. Click to open the System Info screen.

Finding Your External IP Address

If you wish to find your external IP address, you can use a third-party website such as http://whatismyip.org

Appendix B: Setting up Remote Viewing

When a computer on the Internet needs to send data to your internal network, it sends this data to the external IP address of the Router. The Router then needs to decide where this data is to be sent to. This is where setting up Port Forwarding becomes important.

Port Forwarding tells the router which device on the internal network to send the data to. When you set up port forwarding on your Router, it takes the data from the external IP address:port number and sends that data to an internal IP address:port number (i.e. Router External IP 216.13.154.34 to NVR Internal IP 192.168.0.3:80).

Please see resources available at http://www.digimerge.com/ for more assistance with port forwarding.

FLIR DNR204P2 - Scenario B: Multiple Routers - 3

Appendix C: Auto Port Forwarding Wizard

Configuring a DMZ host connection

  • Connect to "Router 1" on your network (referred to as "Possible 1st Router" in the Auto Port Forwarding Wizard). Obtain the IP address of Router 1. Usually this can be found in the "Status" section of your router menu. The IP should begin with "192.168...."This IP address is your DMZ IP.
  • Enter the IP address obtained from Router 1 into the DMZ section of Router 2.
  • Once you have configured Router 2 with a DMZ connection, run the Auto Port Forwarding Wizard to begin auto port forwarding to Router 1.
  • Consult your router's owner's manual for details on configuring DMZ settings.

Example

DMZ stands for Demilitarized Zone. Enabling a DMZ IP on your router enables one of the routers to pass information onto the second router.

Troubleshooting

TROUBLESHOOTING

When a malfunction occurs, it may not be serious and can be corrected easily. The following describes the most common problems and solutions. Please refer to the following before calling Digimerge Technical Support:

Error Possible Causes Solutions
• NVR is not receiving power, or is not powering up• Cable from power adapter is loose or is unplugged• Confirm that all cables are connected correctly• Confirm that the power adapter is securely connected to the back of the unit
• Cables are connected, but NVR unit is not receiving sufficient power• Confirm that the unit is powered on (LED indicators on the front should be ON)• If the unit is connected through a power bar or surge protector, try bypassing the bar and connecting the power directly to the wall outlet• Confirm that there is power at the outlet:• Connecting the power cable to another outlet• Test the outlet with another plugged device (such as an electric calculator or phone charger)
• There is no picture on selected channels / camera picture is not being displayed• PoE power adapter is not connected• Make sure the 48V DC power adapter is connected to the NVR or the cameras will not receive power from the PoE Ports
• Camera cables are loose or have become disconnected• Disconnect and reconnect the cable at the NVR and at the Camera• Try moving the camera to another channel or use another cable

Troubleshooting

• Hard drive is not detected by the system• Hard drive cables are loose or not properly connected• Remove the housing and check that hard drive cables are firmly connected
• Hard drive has not been initialized (formatted) by the system• For details, see "Formatling the Hard Drive" on page 106
• There is no hard drive in the system• Open the housing and install a 3.5" SATA hard drive
• Hard drive is full and the unit is no longer recording• Overwrite is not enabled • From the Main Menu, select General. Beside HDD Full, select Overwrite. Click OK to save settings. This enables the system to continuously record by overwriting data once the hard drive is full
• Mouse not detected by system• Mouse cable is not firmly connected to the system• Firmly connect the mouse cable to the system
• Mouse is not connected to the system
• System needs to be reset • Re-connect the power cord to restart the system.
• My system does not seem to be recording• Recording may be disabled • Rightt-click in live view, and click Record. Ensure that each channel is set to Schedule or Manual. If schedule is selected, make sure schedule settings are correct under Setting->Schedule.ATTENTION: For security, it is highly recommended to keep Continuous Recording ON at all times
