Network Settings

Network
Note: This menu allows you to configure network
parameters, such as PPPoE, DHCP, Static, and 3G.
The most common types are DHCP or Static. Most
likely your network type is DHCP, unless the network
is manually addressed (usually called Static). If you
need an authentication username and password
to the Internet, then choose PPPoE. If you want to
use mobile network connection, then choose 3G.
Network Type: Select the network type
you are using, from the following:
PPPoE: This is an advanced protocol that allows
the DVR to connect to the network more directly
via DSL modem.
DHCP: This is the network type when a device
on your network (usually a router) assigns
automatically all the network parameters for your DVR.
Static: Requires all the network
parameters to be filled in manually.
3G: Prior to using the mobile network, you
need to connect a 3G dongle to the DVR.

Normal: When the time slot is marked Green, this
indicates the channel is capturing snapshots
based on the Normal Interval.
Motion: When the time slot is marked Yellow, this
indicates the channel is capturing snapshots
based on Alarm Interval only when a motion is detected.
Alarm: When the time slot is marked Red, this
indicates the channel is capturing snapshots
based on Alarm Interval only when a sensor is triggered.
No Capturing: A time slot marked Black means
that there is no snapshot capturing scheduled for
the time slot.
HTTP Port: This port will be used to log in remotely
to the DVR (via Web Client). If the default port 80 is
already taken by other applications, please change it.
Client Port: This is the port that the DVR will use
to send information through. If the default port
9000 is already taken by other
applications, please change it.
IP Address: The IP address identifies the DVR
in the network. It consists of four groups of
numbers between 0 to 255, separated by periods.
For example, "192.168.001.100". You need to
enter the IP address manually only if
your network type is Static.
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". As with
IP address, you need to enter the Subnet Mask
manually only if your network type is Static.
Gateway: This address allows the DVR to access
the Internet. The format of the Gateway
address is the same as the IP Address. For example,
"192.168.001.001". As with IP address, you
need to enter the gateway address manually
only if your network type is Static.
DNS1/DNS2: DNS1 is the primary DNS server
and DNS2 is a backup DNS server. Normally it
should be sufficient to enter the DNS1 server address.
