Before You Get Started
You will need:
• Ensure that your DVR is connected directly to your network router using
a Cat5 or “Ethernet” cable plugged into your DVR’s network port (labelled
“NET” or “LAN”). Having a network switch between your DVR and router
can cause connectivity problems. Please note that your DVR must be
connected to your router with a cable as it will not work with a wireless
connection.
• Have a computer connected to the same router as your DVR.
IMPORTANT! This guide will instruct you on how to connect
your DVR to a network to allow you to monitor it remotely from a
computer or mobile device.
This poster is intended to help you get your Q-See security system connected to your network and
accessible for remote monitoring. You must have already set up your system and have a basic idea of
its operation. There are many additional features which can be customized to your specific needs. More
information and instructions are available in the Remote Monitoring Guide incuded on the CD that came
with your system or available for download from our website at www.Q-See.com/Support.
For information on how to set up your DVR and cameras, please refer to the Quick Start Guide poster
included with your DVR along with the User Manual also included on the accompanying CD.
