2.1 ACCESSING YOUR DVR REMOTELY
Once you have configured the network settings on the DVR to match those on your router and
forwarded the ports needed by the DVR to enable remote access over the Internet, you will be
ready to remotely view your cameras using a webcam program based on an ActiveX control.
For this to work, you will have to enable the ActiveX control options that are built into Internet
Explorer. It is strongly suggested that you be running the latest version of Internet Explorer
(currently IE9). As of this writing, the QS434 is being updated to work with IE9. In the interim,
continue to use IE 8. The instructions below will describe the process using both version 8
and 9 of Internet Explorer.
