3. Now enter your DVR's Device Name (Nickname), Remote IP Address, Port Number (9000 by Default), ID and Password. Then select either Network Stream (Standard Resolution) or Recording Stream (HD Resolution). Choose Auto-Login if you would like the software to automatically login to your DVR when selected.
