To use the Swann PC DVR-4-Net with remote viewing capabilities you may have to “open“ ports on your Windows
Firewall, your Software Firewall or on the Broadband Router/Modem that you use to connect to the Internet. Please consult
the documentation or help files on the relevant software or system for instructions on how to do this. To successfully
access your cameras from the Internet you will need to have allowed access to and from the following ports from an
outside connection. This process is also called “Port Forwarding” or creating a “Virtual Server” connection.
Port 80 - Used for initial download of Remote Viewing Software Interface.
Data Port: 1159 - Port used for transfer of Live Video Stream.
Control Port: 1259 - Port used for transfer of Host Interface commands.
RPB Port: 13551 - Port used for transfer of Remote Playback video stream.
®
The ports used are:
HTTP:
Webcamera Service:
Remote Playback Service:
You may also have to place the IP address of the machine running the Swann PC DVR-4-Net in the “DMZ” of your Firewall
to enable the remote viewing interface. Information on how to do this should be detailed in the documentation covering
operation of your Firewall.
When you first log in to the PC running the DVR-4-Net software, the PC you are downloading the viewing software will give
you a “Security Warning” concerning downloading an “ActiveX control” called “DownLoad.ocx” and ask if you wish to
install and run it. Please click yes, as this control is vital to the operation of the remote viewing interface, and is not a
security risk to your system. If your PC already has Microsoft Windows XP SP2 (Service Pack 2) you will see a yellow bar
at the top of the browser window with the message “To help protect your security, Internet Explorer stopped this site from
installing an ActiveX control on your computer. Click here for options...”. Click on the yellow bar with your mouse, and you
will see 3 options, click on “Install ActiveX Control...” and wait for the control to install. Once this is finished, click on the
feature you wish to use in the Swann PC DVR-4-Net window, then click “OK” to download the software. More information
on using this feature is in the manual in section 7.
When configuring the e-mail notification function as described in section 4.5.4 of the manual, ensure that all fields are
completed or you will receive an error message. Also note that some Anti-Virus programs that scan outgoing messages
may delay or halt the e-mail notification process, consult the documentation accompanying your anti-virus software for
information on how to allow the mail to be sent correctly.
Read the accompanying user manual for more comprehensive information on how to configure the Swann PC DVR-4-Net
software and its various features.
