STATIC
Picture 5-9
For the DVRs IP address you would enter the same first 3 sets of numbers as the gateway and select a
fourth set of numbers that is different then any other device attached to the same router. If the IP address of
your computer in the ipconfig (BLUE arrow in Pic 5) was a single or two digit number you should be ok with
any three digit number, if the computer IP address ends with a number in the 100s then you should go with a
200 number (LIGHT BLUE box in Pic 6). After you enter the addresses hit the OK button.
At the bottom of the NETWORK SETUP window there is an option to setup the DVR to be accessed
through a DDNS service. When you click on the DDNS button it brings up the window displayed as Picture

change from time to time. How often depends on your service provider
When it changes you need to go to a website such as
www.myipaddress.com from a computer attached to the same router
as the DVR to find out what the new IP address is. There are two
solutions to this problem. One would be to get a static IP address from
your service provider so that you do not have to be concerned with the
address changing. Another solution would to use a dynamic domain
name service to get a domain name that can be linked to your dynamic
www.dyndns.com. You can register on that company’s website and get
a domain name, user name, and password. You can then enter your
dynamic domain name into an Internet Explorer browser instead of an
IP address and be directed to whatever the current dynamic IP address is, so that you can always access the
DVR by entering the same address.IP address. This DVR supports the DDND service provided by You can
get more information on how to use the service from the www.dyndns.com website.
5.2.3.4 Port Forwarding

User Manual
To connect to the DVR from the remote computer you would then open an Internet Explorer browser
window and enter the internet IP of your router that you got by going to www.myipaddress.com.
Notice: If you cannot use HTTP port 80 or 9000 because it is being used by another program, or it is being blocked by your service
provider, you can use another port in the same range. If you do so then you need to forward the IP address of the router to the other port,
change the port in the DVR NETWORK settings , and you need to add the port nu mber after the IP address. For example, if you set the
HTTP port as 82, you need to enter the IP address as 192.168.0.25:82.
User name and password here are the same as what you use on the DVR.
If you get a error message that says the program cannot load because the publisher is unknown or the
program is unsigned, go to internet explorer, tools, internet options (refer to Picture 5-15), then go to the

8.3 Troubleshooting
1. Q: What can I do if the system does not detect the HDD?
A: Check the data and power cables and make sure they are securely connected.
2. Q: We have changed the password but do not remember the new password, how can we access the system?
A: If you forget system password, enter 0800808 into the password field to reset the password
3. Q: We are not getting any video signal on the DVR, what is wrong?
A: Check to make sure the cables are securely connected to the BNC ports on the DVR. You can also try another
cable to make sure there is not a problem with the cable. Make sure you have selected the correct video format for
your country (NTSC or PAL), is the USA we use NTSC.
4. Q: Can the DVR have problems if it gets too hot, how can I prevent this?
A: The DVR has a fan to help it dissipate heat while it is working. Please place the DVR in a place where there is
good air circulation and away from high temperatures to increase stability and life of the DVR.
5. Q: My remote control does not work when the DVR is in Live mode but the front panel buttons are working,
what is wrong?
A: Make sure nothing is blocking th e LED on the remote, or the receiver on the DVR, if both are ok, check the
batteries.
6. Q: Can I use the hard drive from my PC in the DVR?
A: You can if the hard drive is the same type and the size is supported by the DVR. If you install it in the DVR it
will be formatted for use in the DVR and the PC will not be able to read it.
7. Q: Do I have to stop recording to playback files on the DVR?
A: No you do not have to stop recording, the DVR will support both functions at the same time.
8. Q: Can I erase files from the hard drive of the DVR?
A: You can not erase individual files, you would need to format the hard drive which will erase all of the files
9.Q: Why can’t I log-in to the Net-viewer program?
A: Please verify that the Net mode is correct, The cable to the RJ-45 port is well connected to the DVR and the
router, and that you are using the correct password.
10. Q: We have attached a PTZ camera but can not control it, what is wrong?
A: Verify that the Protocol, baud rate, address, and other settings on the PTZ camera match the settings you have
put into the DVR. Make sure the data cables are attached firmly to the RS485 port on the DVR.
11. Q: Why does the Buzzer keep sounding?
A: Please check to see if motion detection is on and the system has detected motion, make sure the hard drive is
being detected and has sufficient space available, and that none of your cameras have lost video. You can turn off the
buzzer in the Alarm setup option.
