5. Network Configuration
After you finish adding IP cameras, you can see the live images through
the monitor of the NVR. The following will mainly introduce how to add
the IP cameras via LAN/WAN. This NVR has two network ports, you can
select the network work pattern as required. Network fault tolerance
and multiple address setting are optional.
e-SATA 2
Network Fault Tolerance: Bound two network ports to one IP address.
This pattern can increase the network bandwidth and form a network
redundant array to share the load. When one port goes wrong, the
otehr port will take over the entire load immediately and seamlessly.
Multiple Address Setting: You shall set the IP address, subnet mask,
gateway and DNS of each ethernet port respectively.
