Page 42
Network Setting
Functional description of options
9.4.1 Automatically acquire IP address
When this option is selected, DVS/IP Camera will acquire a dynamic IP address from DHCP
server; if DHCP server is not available, then use manually assigned IP address at present.

When this option is selected, you can manually assign a legal IP address in IP address field.
『IP Address』the IP address must be unique, and should not conflict with other host or work
station in the same network segment.
『Subnet Mask』it is used to divide the network segment of subnet.
『Gateway』when DVS/IP Camera is accessed through different network segment, it is required
to set this address.
『DNS』it is used to analyze the IP address of server with dynamic IP address, after DDNS
function is enabled, correct DNS address should be set.
『Data Port』it is the port for the audio and video media of DVS/IP Camera, which ranges from
2000—66535, the default value is 8200.
『Web Port』it is the server port for WEB access of DVS/IP Camera, the default value is 80; if
this setting is changed, input http://camera address: Web port
when login again.
Page 43
『Set Talkback IP』it is the IP address of client receiving message when talkback request is sent,
this function is an expanded function and not available yet.
『Server Name』Name of the server, convenient for memory; e.g. if the server is placed at No.
888 Jiefang Road, then you may name the server as “No. 888 Jiefang Road” for a clear guide of
its location exactly
『Reversal Connection of Server』DVS/IP Camera actively connects to the object host on which
the central management software is installed, and the default service port is 6000.
『Setting』When the setting corresponding to the button is done, click the button to finish.
8.7 Video Motion Warning
After the video Motion warning is started, when the image moves in set area set time period, the
DVS/IP Camera will conduct warning treatment by set actions e.g. snap-shot jpg pictures in

may proceed to treatment basing on local settings. Video motion warning information includes
name of server, IP, alarm type, time, etc. that may be saved into log files for the purpose of
convenient inquiry afterwards. In case the client end has no connection with DVS/IP Camera
when the warning occurs, users may set it to trigger the client end to login the server automatically
and open the image when the warning occurs.
Set video motion warning

output when the alarm extends to this moment
Page 45
Skills of setting:
1. In order to avoid the small objects from moving in the image that may cause unnecessary
warning, users may set the sensitivity a bit higher;
2. In some areas with frequent movement, users may also set the sensitivity a bit higher in order
to avoid constant warning;
3. Only those warning of very subtle movements require a low or extreme sensitivity, normally
users are recommended to set a rather high sensitivity
8.8 Video Loss Warning
After the video loss warning is started, when the warning occurs, the system may designate some
probe to output in linkage, as well as send the warning message to client end; while the client end
may conduct treatment basing on local setting. Video loss warning information includes name of
server, IP, alarm type, time, etc. that may be saved into log files for the purpose of convenient
inquiry afterwards.

Camera via domain name, they can select DDNS supported by DVS/IP Camera to make settings.
Currently it can support three kinds of DDNS:
www.dyndns.com；www.netnvr.com;
Page 47
(where www.netnvr.com is the private DDNS of our company)
DDNS Setting
Configurations of PPPoE

Instructions of DDNS configuration
Currently, ISP mostly offers active IP to us (e.g. access to network by dial-up like ADSL),
while mostly DVS/IP Camera and other DVS/IP Cameras need a fixed IP when they access to
network remotely, and the fixed IP will cost the users too much, then DDNS offers a brand
new solution to users, it may capture the user’s changing IP every time, then match the IP
with domain, so the user may conduct remote monitoring via the domain.
Instructions:
For the detailed configuration of DDNS, please refer to Appendix I
