You have to configure the settings on the Web interfaces of the DVR / Mobile DVR or IP
cameras, and then configure the protocol and port settings for the Alarm Server to activate
the alarm function. Here we take DVR as an example to demonstrate the steps.
• On the Web interface of the DVR:
a. Check the Enable box and enable the Network Alarm function on the Motion, Video
Loss or Alarm / Event settings page.

computer, select a Protocol and enter 1600 in the Port field. Type a 10-digit network
ID for network identification.

matching the one you’ve set up on the DVR.
