default, the NVR uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Conguration Processor) to acquire compatible (dynamic, changeable) network settings
from a network DHCP server. Generally, it is preferable to setup the NVR with a xed network settings to assure the NVR has an
unchanging IP address, which is convenient for remote login.
a. To enable xed network settings, rst, un-check the Enable DHCP box. If a DHCP server is active on your network, the IPv4
Address, IPv4 Subnet Mask, IPv4 Default Gateway elds will be populated with network settings assigned by the server. These
settings are compatible with your network. If the elds are not populated, they will be blank as shown above.
b. Enter (or modify, if necessary) the IPv4 Address, IPv4 Subnet Mask, IPv4 Default Gateway elds to settings compatible with
your network using the virtual keyboard. You can also enter a Preferred DNS Server address (optional, ex. 8.8.8.8 {Google]).
Consult with your network administrator to determine the best network settings for your NVR.
7. Click Next after you congured the network parameters to open the a window for conguring the network ports you prefer to use.

pop-up graphical menus, see below)). Since video data and capture les are times tamped by the recorder, It is very important that
this information be set precisely to produce valuable evidence from your recorder.
