The Difference Between LAN and WAN
•In WAN mode, by default, the DVR system opens the main stream for the first channel and
displays it on the monitor. The Open/Close button in the left pane does not work.
NoteThe window display mode and the channel number are assigned by default. For
example, for the 16-channel DVR, the maximum window split is 16 screens.
•When in Multiple-channel monitor mode, the DVR system assigns an extra stream to
monitor, by default. Double-click a channel, and the DVR system switches to a single
channel in the monitor. There are two icons in the top left corner of the channel. M means
Main Stream. S means Sub Stream.
•If you log in through WAN mode and are using the video function, then the DVR system
does not support alarm activation in the Alarm Setup interface.
NoteFor the Multiple-channel monitoring mode, by default, the DVR system assigns
an extra stream for monitoring. For each channel, the DVR supports both a Main
stream and a Sub stream. For one-channel live viewing, the Main Stream is used;
for Multiple-channel viewing, the Sub Stream is used. In multiple-channel mode,
all channels try to synchronize the time setting to the network, but the ability to
synchronize depends on your network settings.
