Summary

Remote viewing will work only if you have properly configured port forward settings on your router, otherwise you need to plug in the DVR directly on your Router or modem to work. But this direct connection means you have to input the Static Public IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway on your DVR. If you don’t have a Static Public IP Address then you may consider creating a DDNS Account.
