Check the
DHCP
box if the recorder is connected to a network with DHCP capability. A router typically
has DHCP. The router will assign the network parameters automatically when DHCP is enabled on the
recorder. To manually assign parameter values, see below:
IP Address
: The IP address identifies the recorder in the network. It consists of four groups of
numbers between 0 to 255, separated by periods. For example, “192.168.001.100”.
Subnet Mask
: Subnet mask is a network parameter which defines a range of IP addresses that can
be used in a network. If IP address is like a street where you live then subnet mask is like a
neighborhood. The subnet address also consists of four groups of numbers, separated by periods.
For example, “255.255.000.000”.
Gateway
: This address allows the unit to access the Internet. The format of the
Gateway
address is
the same as the
IP Address
. For example, “192.168.001.001”.
DNS1/DNS2
: DNS1 is the primary DNS server and DNS2 is a backup DNS server. It is usually
enough just to enter the DNS1 server address.
Port
Web Port:
This is the port that will be used to log in remotely to the NVR (e.g. using the Web Client). If
the default port 80 is already being used by other applications, it must be changed.
Client Port:
This is the port that the NVR will use to send information through (e.g. using the mobile
app). If the default port 9000 is already taken by other applications, it must be changed.
RTSP Port:
This is the port that will be used to transmit real-time streaming video to other devices
(e.g. using a streaming Media player.).
UPNP:
To log in remotely to the NVR using the Web Client, port forwarding must be completed in the
router. Enable this option if the router supports the UPnP protocol. In this case, port forwarding does
not need to be configured manually on the router.
