Accessing Your NVR Remotely

STEP 6 Using the Pro Surveillance Software (PSS)

Now that your ports have been successfully forwarded, you are now able to access your NVR from a

computer using Internet Explorer or the Pro Surveillance Software included on the CD that came with

your system. PSS allows Mac and PC users a method to remotely monitor their NVR in a way that

is not browser-dependent. PSS is compatible with Windows Vista and 7 as well as Mac OSX 10.6

and 10.7. The software interface is identical across computing platforms so both PC and Mac use is

described below. Mac users may have to ﬁrst install a helper program called XQuartz. Instructions

for that additional step along with an expanded manual for the software is included on the disk.

Whether you are monitoring your NVR from a computer on the same local network (LAN), or on

one at a remote location (WAN/Internet), the procedure is the same. The only difference is that for

LAN access you will be entering your NVR’s IP address, which you obtained in Part 1 Obtain an IP

Address, while for Internet access you will use the Public IP Address which was shown at the end of

Part 2 when you visited www.canyouseeme.org

A. Once you have installed PSS, click on the icon

to launch it.

B. Enter the User Name and Password in the

appropriate ﬁelds. The default user name

and password are admin and admin. It is

strongly recommended that you modify your

password for improved security.

C. Before you can monitor your NVR, you must

ﬁrst connect to it with PSS.

1. Click on the blue Full Menu icon to the

right of the Setting Manage button in the

Tool Bar on the right side of the display.

2. Select Device Manage to open the

Device Manage window.

PC users need only click on the Install PSS Software for Windows button, located in the Manuals

and Software CD’s Remote Monitoring on-screen menu ( below, left) to begin the installation. Mac

owners will need to open the CD conventionally, and navigate to the folder containing PSS (below,

right) and click on the ﬁle named PSSSetup.pkg to install.

3. Click the Add button and enter the

NVR’s IP address (Section 1.1) or DDNS

address (obtained in Section 8.5), port

number, your user name and password

(which are the same that you use to log

into the NVR directly). You can also give

the NVR an identifying name and you can

add a note in the Description ﬁeld.

You can also add other types of devices

such as a network backup storage drive

using this window. Leave Login Type at

its default Network Type TCP setting.

You can return to this window to update

your passwords, add or remove other

devices and make network access

changes if need be.

4. A prompt will pop up at the bottom right

of the screen to indicate that the NVR

has been added to the program.

D. The NVR will now appear in the Device

List at the top of the Tool Bar. Click on the

device name to expand the listing and you

can add cameras.

E. Choose the screen view format you wish to use and then click on the segment of the

screen where you want to place the ﬁrst camera. Then, click on the camera number in

the Device List to add that camera. Repeat by selecting a new area. The area highlighted

in green is the current camera view. Clicking on a camera icon while a camera view is

highlighted will replace that view with the channel you just selected.

Live monitoring and recorded video playback takes place in the Real-Time Monitor section of the

window. The number of screens being viewed at once is set with the Image View Options at the

bottom of the screen, but at any time, you can double-click on a channel in multi-view mode to

make it a single-screen view. Double-clicking on the screen will return it to its place in the multi-

view display.
