4.5 Network
DVR can be connected to the network or Internet through either fixed IP or dynamic IP by
proper setting of the DVR and router.
4.5.1. Network
Network Type
Select either STATIC IP (to manually set IP address) or DHCP (for dynamic IP address).
• DHCP is initially selected by default. The DVR will be prompted to retrieve an IP
address through the network if the recorder is connected to the network router. You
may manually request an IP address from the router by clicking the “IP Detect”
button.
• If Static IP is selected, manually enter all necessary network settings. It is
recommended to use the DHCP Network Type for the DVR to be assigned an IP
address and Gateway address from its local network router. Change the Network
Type to STATIC to manually apply additional network settings.” – additional network
settings include the DNS Server, TCP/IP Port, and Web Port settings that may need
to be altered from the default settings.
IP Address
Displays the DVR’s IP address. If DHCP is selected, you can use the “IP Detect” function to
automatically adjust the IP address to match the network’s requirements. You can manually
change the IP address as needed, but only when using the STATIC Network Type.
Subnet Mask
Subnet mask address classifies the subnet that the system belongs to. For more information,
please consult your network administrator or your internet provider.
Gateway
This is the IP address of the router or gateway server. It is required when connecting to the
DVR through the external router over the internet (from another network). For more
information, consult your network administrator or your internet provider.
DNS Server
Enter the IP address of the Domain Name Server. You should input the DNS server
information to use DDNS, Email notifications and the NTP server. For more information,
please consult your network administrator or your internet provider.
