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.
Note The 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.
Note For 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.

Note Because of bandwidth limitations, the DVR system can not support monitoring
and playback at the same time. To enhance search speed, the DVR system
automatically closes the monitoring or playback interface when you are
searching for recorded video in the configuration interface.
Logging Out
Click the Logout tab in the Main Menu. The DVR returns to the Login interface.

Quick DDNS and Client-end Introduction
Background Introduction
If you use ADSL to log into the network, then the device IP is not fixed. The DDNS function allows
you to access the DVR via the registered domain name. Additional to the general DDNS, the
Quick DDNS works with the manufacturer’s device so that it can add the extension function.
Function Introduction
The quick DDNS client has the same function as other DDNS client ends. It bonds the domain
name and the IP address. Currently, the DDNS server only works with our own devices. You
must regularly refresh the bonding relationship between the domain and the IP. There is no
username, password, or ID registration on the server. However, each device has a default
domain name (generated by the MAC address). You can also use a customized valid domain
name which has not been registered.
Quick DDNS Operation
Before you use Quick DDNS, you must enable this service, and configure the correct 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 for the default domain name registration, you can also use a customized domain name.
After you have successfully registered a domain name, you can log in using it instead of the
device IP.
User name: Optional. Enter your email address.
IMPORTANT! Do not register frequently. You must wait at least 60 seconds between attempts at logging in.
Too many attempts might cause a server crash.
The system might take back a domain name if it is idle for one year. If your email is set up
correctly, you will get an email notification before the domain name is canceled.

SNMP Port The listening port of the proxy program of the DVR. It is a UDP
port, not a TCP port. This value ranges from 1 to 65535. The
default is 161.
Read Community This is a string, and it is a command between the managing
processes and the proxy process. Read Community defines
the authentication, the access control, and the management
relationship between one proxy and one managers’ group.
Ensure that the device and the proxy are the same. The Read
Community reads all the objects the SNMP supports in the
specified name. The default is Public.
Write Community This is a string, and it is a command between the managing
processes and the proxy process. It defines the
authentication, the access control, and the management
relationship between one proxy and one manager’s group.
Ensure that the device and the proxy are the same. The Write
Community reads, writes, and/or accesses all of the objects
the SNMP supports in the specified name. The default is
Write.
Trap Address The Trap information destination address from the device’s
proxy program.
Trap Port The Trap information destination port from the device’s proxy
program. The Trap port allows the gateway device and the
client-end PC in the LAN to exchange information.
SNMP Version If you check V1, then the system processes only the V1
information.
If you check V2, then the system processes only the V2
information.

Configuring Multicast
Multicast is a transmission mode for data packets. When there are multiple hosts to receive the
same data packets, multiple cast is the best option for reducing the bandwidth and the CPU
load. The source host can send out just one data for transit. This function also depends on the
relationship of the group member and the router group.
Click Multicast in the Network configuration interface to open the Multicast configuration
interface.

in the range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 for IPv4 or have the prefix ff00::/8. An address
in the range 239.252.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 is recommended.
