DVR is connected to a public network, you should use a NTP server that has a time synchronization function, such
as the server at the National Time Center (IP Address: 210.72.145.44). If the DVR is set in a more customized
network, NTP software can be used to establish a NTP server used for time synchronization.
12.2.5 Configuring NAT
Purpose:
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) can permit the device seamlessly discover the presence of other network
devices on the network and establish functional network services for data sharing, communications, etc. You can
use the UPnP™ function to enable the fast connection of the device to the WAN via a router without port mapping.
Before you start:
If you want to enable the UPnP™ function of the device, you must enable the UPnP™ function of the router to
which your device is connected. When the network working mode of the device is set as multi-address, the Default
Route of the device should be in the same network segment as that of the LAN IP address of the router.
Steps:
1. Enter the Network Settings interface.
Menu > Configuration > Network
2. Select the NAT tab to enter the UPnP™ Settings interface.

OPTION 2: Manual
If you select Manual as the mapping type, you can edit the external port on your demand by clicking to
activate the External Port Settings dialog box.
Steps:
1) Click to activate the External Port Settings dialog box. Configure the external port No. for server
port, http port and RTSP port respectively.
 You can use the default port No., or change it according to actual requirements.
 External Port indicates the port No. for port mapping in the router.
 The value of the RTSP port No. should be 554 or between 1024 and 65535, while the value of the
other ports should be between 1 and 65535 and the value must be different from each other. If
multiple devices are configured for the UPnP™ settings under the same router, the value of the port
No. for each device should be unique.
