3.40 Remote Access Configuration
In a typical setup, there are some additional configurations that need to be made to your DVR (PC)
and/or your Network Router before you will be able to access your cameras from a remote location.
This guide will assist you in configuring security features. For information on configuring the Main
Console software for remote access, refer to 3.23 Remote Server on Pg. 67 for more details.

Step 1
It is recommended that you use the EZWatch IP service or a Static IP address before
attempting to remotely access your EZWatch Pro server. You can sign up for EZWatch IP at
www.ezwatchip.com or contact your ISP to obtain a Static IP address.
■
Step 2
Go to Start > All Programs > EZWatch Pro 4.0 > Main Console > Network Service.
■
Step 3 In the Network Service window, click on the Start button to begin streaming your
EZWatch Pro cameras live, thereby allowing users to log on to the server and view live streaming
cameras.
■
Step 4
You may still need to configure security features on your DVR in order to allow Remote
Access. By default, security applications such as anti-virus programs (Norton™, McAfee™), software
firewalls (Windows Firewall™, ZoneAlarm™), and hardware firewalls (Routers, Modems) are typically
defaulted to block remote connections similar to EZWatch Pro Remote Access.
