5 Remote Monitoring
5.1Remote Access
Remote Access to DVR needs the Ethernet, usually using LAN and Internet.
5.1.1 LAN
1. Pop up the pull-down menu, click "properties", open the "local connection", and then
double-click the "local connection".
2. Click "properties"
3. Double click the "Internet protocol (TCP/IP)"
4. Obtain the IP address, subnet mask and
gateway
5. Set the corresponding IP address, subnet
mask and gateway of the DVR. Enter the
video recorder‘s [Main Menu] [Conguration
Management] [Network Configuration].
Input the IP address, subnet mask and
gateway. Among them, the subnet mask
and gateway are the same to the Internet
protocol (TCP/IP) parameters. The last one
of the IP addresses must be different while
all the previous gures should be the same
to ensure the same network segment. For
example, IP address: 192.168. 2. X, X can be
any integer between 0-255 except 255 and
1, subnet mask is: 255.255.255.0. Gateway
is: 192. 168. 2. 1.6. After completing the above settings, open the IE browser and input
the IP address set in the DVR network settings, for example, 192.168.1.X, click "enter",
then the network will automatically download controls (The settings property of IE
browser must allow control download. For specic settings pls refer to appendix -1)

8. Enter username of the device and password In the login window, click "ok" and you can
enter the preview interface as following below.
5.1.2 WAN
1.Connecting DVR by PPPOE
Step 1: Enter DVR Main Menu
Conguration Management Network Conguration
Network, as shown in gure 4-34, tick and select PPPOE directly. It’s no need
to set the DVR's network address, address mask, gateway, just ll in the user name
and password which are provided by telecom operators in the user name and
password elds
Step 2: Enter DVR
main menu Information View Network View to obtain the
IP address and then enter the PC browser interface, input the IP address, for
example,http://210.21.229.138, to enter the control download interface.
2. Connecting DVR through a Router.
Step 1: Enter DVR Main Menu
Conguration Management Network Conguration
Network, as shown in gure 4-34, manually input the IP address, subnet mask
and gateway or tick and select “automatically obtain IP”.
Step 2: When the user conrms LAN can be connected, enter the router to do port
mapping and log in the management interface of the router through the browser. In
this user manual, let’s take Linksys router as an example, In the router "Applications
& Gaming"
"Port Range Forwarding" map the corresponding DVR's IP address
and port, and each DVR has two corresponding ports. (You can add the LAN
IP address of the DVR to the DMZ host. Different router conguration method is
different, for detail, you can view the router manual).
After mapping the port, you can nd the present WAN IP address in the “running status” of

the router. You can access DVR via WAN IP address plus http port number directly, such
as http://113.108.119.20, HTTP port number: then enter the control download interface.
5.2 Remote Live Preview
After open the page, the remote preview picture will show as below:
1. Camera Indicator
A green light indicates manual recording or scheduled recording; red light indicates sensor
alarm recording; yellow light indicates motion detection recording; blue light indicates video
loss. For a single channel having several recording mode, the indicating light only displays
the preferred recording mode. The priorities are: Video Loss > Sensor Alarm> Motion

Appendix 2.Hard Disk Capacity Calculation
Make sure the hard disk is installed and successfully formatted when install the DVR for
the rst time.
1. The capacity of the Hard disk itself
There is no capacity limit of single hard disk for DVR. You can choose 10G or more.. We
recommend hard disk of 500G~2T for better stability.
2. Total Capacity Option
The calculation formula of hard disk capacity is:
Total capacity(M) =channel numbers*time(hour)*occupied capacity for an hour(M/hour)
Similarly, the calculation formula of recording time is:
Recording time(hour)= Total capacity(M)
Occupied Capacity for an hour(M/hour)*the channel numbers
The DVR introduces theH.264 compression technology. Its dynamic range is very large so
the hard disk capacity calculation is based on the stream to count the estimated values of
les created by each channel in an hour.
Example:
For a 500G HDD, real -time CIF recording, it can keep recording for about 25 days. The
occupied space of HDD for single channel is 200M/H, if 4channels real-time CIF recording
for 24hours, the estimated recording days is: 500G/(200M/H*24H*4ch)=26 days
