I apologize for my noobness in advance. I'm a network dunce.
I have a DVD attached to my home security cameras. I've had them for about 5 years. The instructions that came with the DVD are a poorly-translated Japanese-English mess.
What I'm trying to do is connect the DVD to my network so I can view the cameras from my PC either within my house or remotely.
The DVD has a ethernet port which I can cable to my router. Right now the set up looks like this:
Comcast router->Linksys wireless router->My PC and wife's PC (both hard-wired to the Linksys router). My PC is dual boot (Windows 10 and Ubuntu) and wife's PC is Windows 7.
What do I need to do to view the cameras from the PC's at home and remotely?
Any help is appreciated.
Desperate bump for help from a networking guru
DVD?

Yes. Digital Video Recorder. It records up to 8 cameras. I have a monitor attached to it but also want the output to be seen on my PC or from a remove PC.

Does the DVD have a web interface or something? What happens when you try to browse to it's IP?

find the ports its using to connect eg usually found under the network settings and forward them then use the DVR app for the model and connect just beware DVRs are easy to PWN
First sorry... DVR, not DVD.
The DVR does not have a web interface. I downloaded JM Integrated Remote Station to connect to it, followed all the instructions but it just doesn't seem to work.
I'm going to start from scratch again.
Both the router and DVR have security passwords (NOT "admin" or "12345") so I'm kind of confident about them being secure.

I think it's fair to is to demand the model and brand of the DVR. Should save everyone a lot of time. A picture of the sticker on the underside of the DVR should be enough,

Yeah. I'm sure that's not a good idea.
But that's part of the issue. There isn't even a manufacturer's name on it

Really sounds like you don't want to be helped then.
