1) Background Introduction
Device IP is not fixed if you use ADSL to login the network. The DDNS function allows you to
access the NVR 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 our quick DDNS, you need to enable this service and set proper server address,
port value and domain name.
z Server address:www.quickddns.com
z Port number:80
z 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.
zUser name: It is optional. You can input your commonly used email address.
Important
51
zDo not register frequently. The interval between two registrations shall be more than 60

4.6.6 Alarm
In the main menu, from Setting to Alarm, you can see alarm setup interface. See Figure 4-55.
z Alarm in: Here is for you to select channel number.
z Event type: There are four types. Local input/network input/IPC external/IPC offline alarm.
Local input alarm: The alarm signal system detects from the alarm input port.
Network input alarm: It is the alarm signal from the network.
IPC external alarm: It is the on-off alarm signal from the front-end device and can
activate the local NVR.
IPC offline alarm: Once you select this item, system can generate an alarm when the
front-end IPC disconnects with the local NVR. The alarm can activate record, PTZ, snap
and etc. The alarm can last until the IPC and the NVR connection resumes.
z Enable: Please you need to highlight this button to enable current function.
z Type: normal open or normal close.
z Period: It is to set local alarm period. System only enables local alarm in the specified period.
Click the Set button; you can select the business day and the non-business day. Please note
for the work day/free day setup and the specific work day setup, system just saves the latest
setup. For example, the work day ranges from 8:30-17:30 Monday to Friday, and then you set
the period 7:10-18:00 for Monday. So, the arm period of the Monday ranges from 7:10 to
18:00. Please highlight the corresponding button to enable this function.
z PTZ activation: When an alarm occurred, system can activate the PTZ operation. The PTZ
activation lasts an anti-dither period.
In the Pan/Tilt/Zoom interface (Main menu->Setting-> Pan/Tilt/Zoom), please set video
channel, speed dome protocol and etc.

Here you can set the activation operation such as preset tour, pattern and enable.
z Anti-dither: Here you can set anti-dither time. The value ranges from 5 to 600s. The
anti-dither time refers to the alarm signal lasts time. It can be seem as the alarm signal
activation stays such as the buzzer, tour, PTZ activation, snapshot, channel record. The stay
time here does not include the latch time. During the alarm process, the alarm signal can
begin an anti-dither time if system detects the local alarm again. The screen prompt, alarm
upload, email and etc will not be activated. For example, if you set the anti-dither time as 10
second, you can see the each activation may last 10s if the local alarm is activated. During
the process, if system detects another local alarm signal at the fifth second, the buzzer, tour,
PTZ activation, snapshot, record channel will begin another 10s while the screen prompt,
alarm upload, email will not be activated again. After 10s, if system detects another alarm
signal, it can generate an alarm since the anti-dither time is out.
60
z Alarm output: The number here is the device alarm output port. You can select the
corresponding ports(s) so that system can activate the corresponding alarm device(s) when
an alarm occurred.
zLatch: When the anti-dither time ended, the channel alarm you select in the alarm output may
last the specified period. The value ranges from 1 to 300 seconds. This function is not for
