In the main menu, from Setting->Event->Alarm, you can see alarm setup interface.
Alarm in: Here is for you to select channel number.
In the main menu, from Setting->Event->Alarm, you can see alarm setup interface. See Figure 3-83.
There are four alarm types. See Figure 3-83 to Figure 3-86.
Local alarm: The alarm signal system detects from the alarm input port.
Network alarm: It is the alarm signal from the network.
IPC external alarm: It is the on-off alarm signal from the front-end device and can activate the local
HNVR.
IPC offline alarm: Once you select this item, system can generate an alarm when the front-end IPC
disconnects with the local HNVR. The alarm can activate record, PTZ, snap and etc. The alarm can
last until the IPC and the HNVR connection resumes.
Important
If it is your first time to boot up the device, the disconnection status of the front-end
network camera will not be regarded as offline. After one successfully connection, all
the disconnection events will be regarded as IPC offline event.
When IPC offline alarm occurs, the record and snapshot function of digital channel is
null.
Enable: Please you need to highlight this button to enable current function.
Type: normal open or normal close.
Period: Click set button, you can see an interface is shown as in Figure 3-88. There are two ways for
you to set periods. There are max 6 periods in one day. There are four record types: regular, motion
detection (MD), Alarm, MD & alarm.
In Figure 3-88, Select icon of several dates, all checked items can be edited together.
Now the icon is shown as . Click to delete a record type from one period.
In Figure 3-88. Click button after one date or a holiday, you can see an interface shown as
in Figure 3-89. There are four record types: regular, motion detection (MD), Alarm, MD & alarm.
PTZ activation: When an alarm occurred, system can activate the PTZ operation. The PTZ activation
lasts an anti-dither period. See Figure 3-87.
Anti-dither: Here you can set anti-dither time. The value ranges from 5 to 600s. The anti-dither time
refers to the alarm signal lasts time. It can be seem as the alarm signal activation stays such as the
buzzer, tour, PTZ activation, snapshot, channel record. The stay time here does not include the latch
time. During the alarm process, the alarm signal can begin an anti-dither time if system detects the
local alarm again. The screen prompt, alarm upload, email and etc will not be activated. For example,
if you set the anti-dither time as 10 second, you can see the each activation may last 10s if the local
alarm is activated. During the process, if system detects another local alarm signal at the fifth
second, the buzzer, tour, PTZ activation, snapshot, record channel will begin another 10s while the
screen prompt, alarm upload, email will not be activated again. After 10s, if system detects another
alarm signal, it can generate an alarm since the anti-dither time is out.
82
Page 93
Alarm output: The number here is the device alarm output port. You can select the corresponding
ports(s) so that system can activate the corresponding alarm device(s) when an alarm occurred.
Latch: When the anti-dither time ended, the channel alarm you select in the alarm output may last
the specified period. The value ranges from 1 to 300 seconds. This function is not for other alarm
activation operations. The latch is still valid even you disable the alarm event function directly.
Show message: System can pop up a message to alarm you in the local host screen if you enabled
this function.
Alarm upload: System can upload the alarm signal to the network (including alarm centre and the
WEB) if you enabled current function. System only uploads the alarm channel status. You can go
to the WEB and then go to the Alarm interface to set alarm event and alarm operation. Please go
to the Network interface to set alarm centre information.
Send email: System can send out the alarm signal via the email to alert you when an alarm occurs.
Once you enable the snap function, system can also send out an image as the attachment. Please
go to the Main Menu->Setting ->Network->Email interface to set.
Record channel: you can select proper channel to record alarm video (Multiple choices).
You need to set alarm record mode as Schedule in Record interface (Main
Menu->Advanced->Record). Please note the manual record has the highest priority. System
record all the time no matter there is an alarm or not if you select Manual mode.
Now you can go to the Schedule interface (Main Menu->Setting->Schedule) to set the record
type, corresponding channel number, week and date. You can select the record
type:Regular/MD/Alarm/MD&Alarm. Please note, you can not select the MD&Alarm and MD(or
Alarm) at the same time.
Now you can go to the Encode interface to select the alarm record and set the encode
parameter (Main Menu->Setting->Encode).
Finally, you can set the alarm input as the local alarm and then select the record channel. The
select channel begins alarm record when an alarm occurred. Please note system begins the
alarm record instead of the MD record if the local alarm and MD event occurred at the same
time.
Tour: Here you can enable tour function when an alarm occurs. System supports 1/8-window tour.
Please go to chapter3.5.4.1 Display for tour interval setup. Please note the tour setup here has
higher priority than the tour setup you set in the Display interface. Once there two tours are both
enabled, system can enable the alarm tour as you set here when an alarm occurred. If there is no
alarm, system implements the tour setup in the Display interface.
Snapshot: You can enable this function to snapshoot image when an alarm occurs.
Buzzer: Highlight the icon to enable this function. The buzzer beeps when an alarm occurs.

3.11 Network
3.11.1 TCP/IP
From main menu->Setting->Network/TCP/IP, the interface is shown as in Figure 3-93.
MTU: It is to set MTU value of the network adapter. The value ranges from 1280-7200 bytes. The
default setup is 1500 bytes. Please note MTU modification may result in network adapter reboot
and network becomes off. That is to say, MTU modification can affect current network service.
System may pop up dialog box for you to confirm setup when you want to change MTU setup.
Click OK button to confirm current reboot, or you can click Cancel button to terminate current
modification. Before the modification, you can check the MTU of the gateway; the MTU of the
DVR shall be the same as or is lower than the MTU of the gateway. In this way, you can reduce
packets and enhance network transmission efficiency. Right now, the value here is for read-only.
The following MTU value is for reference only.
1500: Ethernet information packet max value and it is also the default value. It is the typical
setup when there is no PPPoE or VPN. It is the default setup of some router, switch or the
network adapter.
1492: Recommend value for PPPoE.
1468: Recommend value for DHCP.
LAN download: System can process the downloaded data first if you enable this function. The
download speed is 1.5X or 2.0X of the normal speed.
Important
For the IP address of IPv6 version, default gateway, preferred DNS and alternate DNS, the input
value shall be 128-digit. It shall not be left in blank.
Network adapters mode:
89
Page 100
Multiple-address mode: eth1/eth2/ eth3/eth4 operate separately. You can use the services such
as HTTP, RTP service via eth1/eth2/ eth3/eth4. Usually you need to set one default card
(default setup is eth1) to request the auto network service from the device-end such as DHCP,
email, FTP and etc. In multiple-address mode, system network status is shown as offline once
one card is offline.
Network fault-tolerance: In this mode, device uses bond0 to communicate with the external
devices. You can focus on one host IP address. At the same time, you need to set one master
card. Usually there is only one running card (master card).System can enable alternate card
when the master card is malfunction. The system is shown as offline once these two cards are
both offline. Please note these two cards shall be in the same LAN.
Load balance: In this mode, device uses bond0 to communicate with the external device. The
eth1/eth2/ eth3/eth4 are working now and bearing the network load. Their network load are
general the same. The system is shown as offline once all cards are offline. Please note these
cards shall be in the same LAN.
IP Version: There are two options: IPv4 and IPv6. Right now, system supports these two IP
address format and you can access via them.
MAC address: The host in the LAN can get a unique MAC address. It is for you to access in the
LAN. It is read-only.
IP address: Here you can use up/down button () or input the corresponding number to input
IP address. Then you can set the corresponding subnet mask the default gateway.
Default gateway: Here you can input the default gateway. Please note system needs to check the
validity of all IPv6 addresses. The IP address and the default gateway shall be in the same IP
section. That is to say, the specified length of the subnet prefix shall have the same string.
DHCP: It is to auto search IP. When enable DHCP function, you can not modify IP/Subnet mask
/Gateway. These values are from DHCP function. If you have not enabled DHCP function,
IP/Subnet mask/Gateway display as zero. You need to disable DHCP function to view current IP
information. Besides, when PPPoE is operating, you can not modify IP/Subnet mask /Gateway.
Preferred DNS server: DNS server IP address.
Alternate DNS server: DNS server alternate address.
After completing all the setups please click save button.
