14

① Select YES when setting the network using an internet connection.

② Select Auto Configuration (DHCP) or Manual Configuration (STATIC), and then click the TEST

Button. This automatically sets up the network for the system (NVR).

③ Setup DDNS setting. DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) allows a DNS name to be

constantly synchronised with a dynamic IP address. It allows using a dynamic IP address to be

associated with a static domain name and associates a dynamic IP address with a static

domain name.

④ Click Finish to save the setup.

The following IP Camera settings are recommended for optimum connection to the EZPZ NVR

Setup Items

Default

Description

Network Type

DHCP

The IP Camera must act as a DHCP client for the “Plug and Play”.

Encoding Type

CBR

CBR is recommended - because of the internal buffer strategy of the EZPZ NVR.

Dual Streaming

General

Sub Stream must be turned ON.

The compression, for both the Main and Sub Stream, must be H.264.

Main

1920 x1080@30fps, 5Mbps

(Max. throughput of the NVR is 20Mbps)

Sub

D1@30fps, 1Mbps

Audio

G.711

Only the G.711 Codec is supported

• The EZPZ Series features a "Plug and Play" function with a PoE Switch.

•

The “Plug and Play” functionality requires the IP Camera to be in DHCP mode.

•

The NVR automatically assigns an IP Address to the IP Camera (192.168.78.11 ~ 254).

•

The EZPZ NVR automatically maps a camera on the PoE Port to the corresponding NVR channel

number.

NOTE:

With the EZPZ IP Kit, DO NOT USE a router connection to connect an IP Camera. The NVR will not be

able to find the camera, or connect to it. The LAN Port can be connected to a router, but not the PoE Ports.

2-6 IP Camera Setup (Through Web Viewer Page)

EZPZ IP allows remote access to the IP Cameras through the "IP Camera Setup" menu in the Web Client

Viewer.

① Click the right mouse button

② Select “IP Camera Setup”.

③ Select Channel Number.

④ This lanuches the camera’s own setup page.

In order for the web pages to launch the “IP Camera Setup” menu (when accessed from the WAN), Ports

59011 to 59254 on the router must be port forwarded to the NVR. The local address of the NVR can be

found in System Information.

2-7 Dual Streaming

 High Quality (Main Profile) Video Stream is used for both Recording and Live Display.

 High Quality (Main Profile) Video Stream can be viewed through the Network, when selected.

 Normal (Secondary) Quality Video Stream is used by default when viewing through the Network.
