3.7. Network DVR FAQ
1) Question: unable to access the network video encoder
Check the network video encoder, PING to see if the IP is online.
Check the IP address, port number, user name, password on the Video Server.
And also if the Router and the Video Server are on the same IP structure. E.g 192.168.0.XXX
2) Question: It is connected but no Video
Check the video connection, and also if the camera has power and the Lens are not obstructed by any
object.
4) Question: No Video via Internet Browser
Check the network connection
Ping the IP
Possible reason: IP address conflict
Solution: Disconnect the Video Server from the LAN and reconnect to the PC and Reset the IP address.
Look for a different IP address that won’t conflict with any other device in the Network.
Possible reason: IP address in different subnets
Solution: Check the IP address and subnet mask of the server and gateway
Possible reason: web port is changed
Solution: Contact network administrator to obtain a port information
Possible reason: unknown
Solution: Reset server to the factory settings and re-connect to the network. The default IP address of
system is 192.168.1.100 (Default IP address of decoder system is 192.168.1.98).

5. Different recording modes may have different kinds of setups. Basic setup: video size,
recording frames, video quality, and audio recording. When different recording modes are
triggered, the system starts recording according to the different setup. This kind of design
provides flexibility to ensure efficient recording time and quality. Example: Work hour
from 8:00am to 6:00pm, setup Schedule Record to low video quality with less recording
frames to extend the recording time. And off work hour, setup Motion Detection
Record/ Alarm Record to enable high video quality with the highest recording frames,
when an event occurs.
6. Video or audio may be recorded into the SD card (SD card is purchased separately).
Do not withdraw the SD card while recording. It may destroy the data stored within the SD card.
Power loss during recording can result in incomplete videos or errors.
