using the DVRNS function when connecting to
the NVR system.
It allows you to change the port numbers of the
administration, recording and monitoring services
that are running in the NVR system.
Use SSL: Allows you to enhance the security of
data transferred between services of the iNEX
program by using the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
protocol. Using the SSL function might cause
congestion in the NVR system depending on the
security level. Log in the iNEX program again
after you change the setting. When the setting is
changed, all services that are currently connected
to the administration service reconnect, and the
iNEX Setup and iNEX Client programs are logged
out.
DVRNS
− Use NAT: Check the box when the NVR system uses a NAT (Network Address Translation) device
for network connection.
− Name: Enter the NVR system name to be registered on the DVRNS server. Check whether or not
the name is available by clicking the Check button.
NOTES:
The DVRNS (DVR Name Service) function allows the NVR system to use dynamic IP addresses for remote
connection. When using this function, you can access the NVR system remotely by using the NVR system
name instead of its IP address. For the DVRNS function to work properly, the NVR system should be
registered on the DVRNS server.
When LAN settings are changed, set up the DVRNS settings after saving your LAN changes by clicking
the OK button.
You will need to get the IP address or domain name of the DVRNS server from your network
administrator. You can use the domain name instead of IP address if you set up the DNS server during
the IP Address setup.
When using a NAT (Network Address Translation) device, refer to the NAT manufacturer’s instructions
for the proper network settings.
The NVR system name you entered in the Name field should be checked by clicking the Check button,
otherwise the DVRNS changes will not be saved. When entering no name or a name already registered
on the DVRNS server, an error message displays.

Operating Instructions
Protocol: Select the protocol or manufacturer of the device to scan. Event related functions may not
be supported depending on the protocol that the device uses (supported for the iNEX protocol and
some versions of the ONVIFTM Conformance and Axis protocol), and some other functions may not
be supported depending on the settings of the device.
Scan Mode: Select the scan mode. Clicking the Start Scan button displays the results in the list. If
the IP address range of the device is different from that of the NVR system, the iNEX program considers
the IP address invalid. In this case, you must change the device’s IP address to register the device.
− Auto Scan (LAN): Lists devices in a LAN environment (supported only for the network video devices).
If the device uses the ONVIFTM Conformance protocol, this function is supported only when you
have checked the Disable WS-Discovery Windows Service (fdPHost, FDResPub) box during
the software installation in Microsoft® Windows® Vista or later operating systems. Also, if the device
uses the ONVIFTM Conformance protocol, it is recommended that the device not be networked via
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If the device is networked via DHCP, connection
to the device may not be made properly depending on changes in the external network environment.
− IP Address: Allows you to enter the IP address of a device. You can search more than one device
at a time by entering a range of IP addresses. It is recommended that the device not be networked
via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If the device is networked via DHCP, connection
to the device may not be made properly depending on changes in the external network environment.
− DVRNS: Allows you to enter the device name registered on a DVRNS server if the device uses the
DVR Name Service (DVRNS) function. Ensure the DVRNS server information on which the device
is registered is correct (Service menu → (System Setup) button). If the DVRNS server information
is not correct, the device will not be found.

Recording Service: Select a recording service (supported only for the network video devices). The
device is registered on the recording service and the NVR system performs recording according to a
recording schedule. The channel number of the recording service indicates the maximum number of
cameras that can be registered, and the name indicates the name of a recording service, which was
set during the Service menu setup. When selecting the Do not record option, the iNEX program
treats the device during the Schedule setup as though it was not registered and does not perform any
of the scheduled activities associated with the device. If you delete the device from the recording
service after some recording has been done, you cannot search or play back the previously recorded
video though you register the device again. You can check the list of devices registered on the recording
service on a Device Setup tab while setting up the recording service in the Service menu. Refer to
Chapter 14 — Storage Management (p. 107) for details.
Streaming Service: Select whether or not to use the streaming service for monitoring video from
the device. Streaming service allows remote monitoring of live images in a WAN environment (up
