Do I need to setup port forwarding to access my DVR over the Internet?

You will need to setup port forwarding to access your DVR under these conditions: 1. If your network is behind a firewall or an internet sharing device, such as a Cable or DSL router. To find out if you are behind an internet sharing device, check your computer's IP and Subnet Address. OR 2. If your network address starts with 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, or 172.16.x.x to 172.32.x.x. [Note: Network addresses starting with 169.x.x.x indicate a misconfigured internet connection on your computer.]
