separated spatially, it is easy to arouse squeaking. In this case you can adopt
the following measures:

 Use better sound pick-up with better directing property
 Reduce the volume of the sound box.
 Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice

echo and improve acoustics Environment.

 Adjust the layout to reduce happening of the squeaking.

Quick DDNS and Client-end Introduction

‐43‐



1) Background Introduction

Device IP is not fixed if you use ADSL to login the network. The DDNS function
allows you to access the DVR via the registered domain name. Besides the
general DDNS ,the Quick DDNS works with the device from the manufacturer
so that it can add the extension function.

2) Function Introduction

The quick DDNS client has the same function as other DDNS client end. It
realizes the bonding of the domain name and the IP address. Right now,
current DDNS server is for our own devices only. You need to refresh the
bonding relationship of the domain and the IP regularly. There is no user name,
password or the ID registration on the server. At the same time, each device
has a default domain name(Generated by MAC address) for your option. You
can also use customized valid domain name (has not registered.).

3) Operation

Before you use Quick DDNS, you need to enable this service and set proper
server address, port value and domain name.

 Server address：www.quickddns.com
 Port number：80
 Domain name ：There are two modes: Default domain name and

customized domain name

Except default domain name registration, you can also use customized

domain name (You can input your self-defined domain name.) After

successful registration, you can use domain name to login installed of the

device IP. Do not register frequently. The interval between two

registrations shall be more than 60 seconds. Too many registration

requests may result in server attack. System may take back the domain

name that is idle for one year. You can get a notification email before

the cancel operation if your email address setup is OK.

UPnP

The UPNP protocol is to establish a mapping relationship between the LAN
and the WAN. Please Input the router IP address in the LAN

‐44‐

 UPNP on/off ：Turn on or off the UPNP function of the device.
 Status: When the UPNP is offline, it shows as “Unknown”. When the

UPNP works it shows “Success”.

 Router LAN IP: It is the router IP in the LAN.
 WAN IP: It is the router IP in the WAN.

 Port Mapping list： The port mapping list here is the one to one

relationship with the router’s port mapping setting.

 Service name ：Defined by user.

 Protocol： Protocol type

 Internal port ：Port that has been mapped in the router.

 External port ：Port that has been mapped locally.

Default: UPNP default port setting is the HTTP, TCP and UDP of the
DVR. Add to the list: Click it to add the mapping relationship.
Delete: Click it to remove one mapping item.
Double click one item; you can change the corresponding mapping
information.

Important:
When you are setting the router external port, please use 1024~5 000 port.
Do not use well-known port 1~255 and the system port 256~1023 to avoid
conflict. For the TCP and UDP, please make sure the internal port and
external port are the same to guarantee the proper data transmission.

Quick DDNS and Client-end Introduction

1) Background Introduction Device IP is not fixed if you use ADSL to login the
network. The DDNS function allows you to access the DVR via the registered
domain name. Besides the general DDNS, the quick DDNS works with the
device from the manufacturer so that it can add the extension function.

2) Function Introduction The quick DDNS client has the same function as other
DDNS client end. It realizes the bonding of the domain name and the IP
address. Right now, current DDNS server is for our own devices only. You
need to refresh the bonding relationship of the domain and the IP regularly.
There is no user name, password or the ID registration on the server. At the
same time, each device has a default domain name (Generated by MAC
address) for your option. You can also use customized valid domain name (has
not registered.). 3) Operation Before you use Quick DDNS, you need to enable
this service and set proper server address, port value and domain name
