4. Make sure the Geovision PC is connected to a router.
5. Now on your PC press the Start  button and go to All Programs, Accessories and then Command Prompt. (Shown Below)
6. Once in Command Prompt type in ipconfig and press Enter. Your IP Address will then be displayed as shown in the second image below. Please write this down as you will be using it later on.(Shown Below)
7. Now select your router's brand below for Port Forwarding instructions. In the router, you will need to forward ports (Webcam) 80, 4550, 5550, (Mobile) 8866, 5511, and 56000.

8. Now you have to make sure the ports forwarded are open. You can do this by going to http://dvrport.net
The remote IP Address will automatically populate under Enter IP or Hostname, you will leave this info as is. Change the Enter Port To Scan field to read 80, 4550, 5550, 8866, and 5511 and press Scan. (One at a time)
NOTE: If the port is open you will use the remote IP Address you get from the http://idvrport.net . However, you will need to type it in as follows via web browser - http://ipaddress:port number, eg. if your IP Address is 108.216.161.110 then it should look like this when you type it into your web browser - http://108.216.161.110:80
NOTE 2: If the ports are showing closed and you have a DSL provider, you will need to call your provider and have them bridge the modem to your third party router. This is a standard procedure.
