INTRODUCTION & FEATURES: Introduction Thank you for purchasing the IP Video Router and TLR-DVR Controller. This is an internet based digital video server capable of connecting up to 2 channels of video sources. The Video Web Server turns a standalone recorder into an IP -enabled, networkable recorder. It broadcasts compressed live video on-line (Intranet/Internet) via an Ethernet connection. It also enables DVR series products and cameras to connect to the internet for remote monitoring or remote control.

WHAT IS A DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS ? A Dynamic IP Address is a n IP (Internet Protocol) address that changes each time you connect to the internet. This cuts down on the number of IP addresses large consumer providers need because not all of their customers are using the service at any given time. It also cuts down on bandwidth usage by preventing consumers from hosting servers. Note: a number of companies have started to offer services aimed at updating DNS for dynamically connected clients.
