Why would you put your DVR onto a network? Well, how about being able to monitor your security system from any 
Internet capable computer on Earth, or even in low orbit if you travel that far from home? It’s pretty cool, and really 
convenient. We’re not going to try and deceive you: this is a somewhat tricky process which does require some 
knowledge of computers and networking

.  

 
Because of this, we recommend that only people familiar with networking (or those willing to put in the effort to learn) 
attempt networking their DVR. Often the best thing to do, if you are completely unfamiliar with networking technology, 
is to find someone who does know, and get them to walk you through it. We’ve got some additional networking 
tutorials and information available on our website (check out: 

www.swannsecurity.com

) to help you through the 

process.  
 
Tips and Tricks:

 Some additional research might help you out. Don’t be put off by the term “research” – all we really 

mean is: say you come across a term you’re unfamiliar with (for example, “Ethernet”), just throw this term into your 
favourite Internet search engine and – bam! – you’ll have more information about Ethernet than you’ll know what to 
do with… and definitely enough to help you through the process.  
 
Foolish Assumptions: 

We’re assuming, for the purposes of this walkthrough, that you have an active Internet 

connection running through a router (yours might have a fancy name, such as “DSL Modem” or “Residential 
Gateway” – basically, the thing that you use to gain access to the Internet). We’re also assuming you have an 
Internet capable PC hooked up to the network, running a recent version of Windows (such as XP or Vista). If this is 
not the case and you’re unfamiliar with the way your network is set up, we suggest having a chat with the folks who 
set up your network – they’ll probably know what can and can’t be done. 
 
Ready?

 Take a deep breath, and let’s start at the start…  

 

 
The way that you’ll connect your DVR to your network depends on what kind of network you’re running at home. 
We’re going to cover the three most likely scenarios, and walk you through it step by step.  (If you’re going to use 
PPPoE, skip this step – but then, if you’re familiar with PPPoE, you probably know that already!) 
 
First of all, we’re going to need to find out some information about your network. Open your network properties 
window (usually done by right clicking your network icon and choosing Properties). Have a hunt around until you find 
your network and IP settings.   

 

 

 
They’ll look something like this. 

 
You’ll need to make a note of a couple of things, 
specifically your:  
  
Address Type

: 

 or  

                                Manually Assigned 
 
IP Address

:  

____ : ____ : ____ : ____  

  

   This is your PRIVATE IP ADDRESS, as 

distinct from your PUBLIC IP ADDRESS, which we’ll 
discover later. You’ll need to know both. 
 
Subnet Mask

: 

____ : ____ : ____ : ____  

: 

____ : ____ : ____ : ____ 

 
 

 

EXAMPLE 

 
Then, open the Details window. 
Here, grab your: 
 
DNS Servers

: 

____ : ____ : ____ : ____ 

 

 

 

____ : ____ : ____ : ____ 

 
There might be a few DNS servers: just grab the top two 
if there are more. 
 
If you’re having trouble with this step, again we suggest 
talking to the nearest available computer-tech-person 
(most likely the most convenient geek/student/child) 
they’ll know how to find this information. Alternatively, the 
people who installed your computer system will know all 
this information (or at least how to get it). 
 
Once you’ve got this information, we can go on to the 
next step.
