Do I have to make changes to my router in order to access this from the internet? Like Port Assignments?

To make your DVR accessible from outside of your local network, you have to "forward" ports 80, 100 and 9000 through your router to your DVR's IP address. I'm not a techie person by any means but here's the instructions for setting up remote access: http://qsee.custhelp.com/ci/fattach/get/111582/1359762082/redirect/1/filename/QS%20Remote%20Monitoring%20v3-1_web.pdf There's also a Q-see smartphone app for i-phone and android which isn't very reliable but easy to set up. I have to alternate between using the LAN and WAN ip addresses to see it though.

Yes, Dynamic DNS or VPN in. Plugging it in won't automatically put it on the internet.

Yes a router does not care about what operating system you are running. It's interface is accessed via a link in your web browser. You can use Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc to access the web interface.

I'm not sure what you mean by the question, but I have my router setup dhcp and connected it directly to the ismartalarm.

I connected my wireless router to the last port on the right, but I don't think it matters which port you use since the switch is a plug n play device. It will automatically configure the settings for you.

As stated by Rob, your router should automatically assign an IP address. The only thing you should need to do is enter your security key needed to access your WiFi. If you don't know it, look at the bottom of your router.

You won't be able to use the configuration guide but you can configure it manually using the IP of the router

It has a port forwarding configuration, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I haven't tried all that hard, though.

Simple answer is yes. It gets to be a question of just how portable you need your router to be.

Yes, but it will require some trickery, the unit currently "listens" on port 80. So you would have to set your router up to forward port 80 to the IP address of the device on your network. You can change the port the device "listens" on, for example if you did not want to forward port 80 you change the listen port to 8282 (you can pick whatever you want the higher the better) and then forward all requests from port 8282 from the outside to go to the device ip address internally. This assumes you know your external ip address. SO you would just go to your browser on whatever device you are using and type http://yourexternalIPaddress:8282. This will take you to the device"s webpage.

I would say no built in router.I had to program mine to get to my wireless router in my house and open a port for it in the router. I haven't had to deal with my cable company changing my IP address (Dynamic)... so far so good.

For maximum network security I would NOT open any ports on your router. A safer way to do it would to use a VPN enabled router and then VPN in to your home network. With this setup just use the App as you wold if you were a home. You will need some Internet "savy" though.

Yes. Once it's on your LAN, it can be accessed via a browser from any device on the same subnet (e.g. 192.168.100.x addresses).

Yes it can be managed from any port not sure about the VLAN though without the Ubiquiti router, i believe you will need that as well.

May also be able to use a network cable to plug into your router. I would just plug it it in to the network to see what happens. How do you currently have it connected? Or is this going to be new?

Short and sweet answer here...No.Download the latest firmware, use the built in Wizard WAN+2LAN to configure the router. That will set eth0 as a DMZ, eth1 as the WAN port, and the rest as local switch ports.It's not a simple device like a Linksys or Netgear, but it's not too tough now that they've added the wizard.

Yes you can. That is exactly what I needed to do. I went from the modem to the switch. And then from the switch to two different routers.
