Connection for DVRs without built in wi-fi

DVRs without built in wi-fi (flex-fi) will require a Wi-Fi dongle connection to connect to G4 Connect. DVR’s that have built in wi-fi (Y35 v2, Y35 HD, Y58, Y816-R) do not require a wi-fi dongle connection.
Please see Login for instructions on connecting a DVR with built in wi-fi to G4 connect.

Identifying the DVR SSID
Before a Wi-Fi connection can be established with the DVR, you must first identify the device’s network broadcast ID (or SSID). The default Wi-Fi network address of the DVR corresponds with its MAC address or Electronic Serial Number (e.g., 00:00:35:00:0A:E6 or 00990125B9). The MAC address, and subsequent SSID, can be found on a label that is included with the DVR packaging box. Make sure you have correctly identified this network broadcast ID before proceeding.

Interface

When G4 Connect is launched for the first time, it will default to the General, Basic Info screen. Other options are also available, including Preview; Playback (including Export) and Preferences.

The G4 Connect app makes navigating the DVR functionality easy through its four tabs: ‘General’, ‘Preview’, ‘Playback’, and ‘Preferences’.
