Unit Configuration
Network
The unit’s network configuration is set on the Network section of the Configuration page. Settings
pertaining to the unit’s network connection are:
DHCP: Allows the unit to request a dynamic IP address from a server on the network.
IP Address/Subnet Mask/Gateway: When not using a dynamic address, enter static network
configuration information here.
DNS Servers: Allows the unit to resolve host names for Email, NTP and SNMP servers as well
as cameras.

Time and Date
The system clock is set on the Admin section of the Configuration page. The unit comes
preconfigured with the IP addresses of two NIST time servers and is set to the Central Time Zone
(-0500 GMT). Should a local time server be preferred, enter its IP address into the “Server” box
and click the “Save Changes” button. Clearing the time server addresses and clicking “Save
Changes” will set the time servers back to the defaults. The unit attempts to contact the time
servers during boot up and periodically while running. Until a time server is contacted or the system
clock is manually set, all log time stamps will present time as the number of seconds since the unit
was powered up.
