Quality &

Frame Rate

Setup

Allows individual adjustment of both items per channel as described below.

3.2.1 Quality & Frame Rate Setup

Increased recording time on a hard drive can be achieved by decreasing the frames
per second (FPS) recorded. Continuously recording (Normal) at a slower rate, and
event recording at a faster rate is a suggested method of operating your DVR.
Recording a static image of an empty office area is a waste of hard drive space. By
using video motion detection, or alarm recording triggered by an external device such
as a PIR or door switch, a faster frame rate can be then used to record activity as it
happens. Reducing the quality or resolution of the images being recorded (smaller
file size) is another method of extending the overall record time on a hard drive. Five
Quality settings are available on your DVR: Highest, High, Normal, Basic, and Below
Basic. Three resolution selections are also available: 720 x 480, 720 x 240, and 360
x 240. Lower quality can be used when larger objects are being recorded, or finer
details within an image are not especially important. There is no best setting for all
installations. Experiment with the resolution, quality, and FPS settings to see what is
best for your situation. The rule of thumb is to use the best possible settings (720 x
480, Highest, and a faster frame rate) that still gives you the total number of days
stored on your hard drive that you require.

19

Item Description

View Normal / View Event

Selects between Normal (continuous) and Event (alarm or motion)
record settings per channel

No.

Check/ Uncheck the box will enable/ disable record mode of all channels
shown on the page, or each channel can be controlled individually.

Resolution

360 x 240 Basic, 720 x 240 Better, 720 x 480 Best

Quality

Choose from Belo w Basic / Basic/ Normal/ High/ Highest.

FPS

Recording frame rate (1~30).

Normal Auto

Automatically calculates the maximum FPS for each active channel after
you choose a resolution setting in the Normal recording mode.

Event Auto

Automatically calculates the maximum FPS for each active channel after
you choose a resolution setting in the Event recording mode.

The Normal and Event frame rate calculators on t he le ft si de o f th e a bov e menu are there
to quickly add the total frames per second r equeste d via the resolution s ettings, FPS, an d
cameras selected. Up to 240 frames are available for each group of 8 channels that
your DVR model may contain (240 for 4 and 8 channel models, and 240 + 240 for the 16
channel model). If a fast recording speed (high FPS) is needed with many cameras,
you can select a lower resolution to accomplish this. If the highest resolution setting is
needed on most of your cameras, then you may need to select a lower FPS (recording
speed) for some cam eras. The numb ers on the c alcul ator s w ill turn r ed if y our de mands
are too high. Lowering the resolution or FPS on some cameras will correct this situation.
Clicking on the Auto button will quickly adjust the overall settings for you.

3.3 Event Setup

As mentioned above, video motion detection and alarm / sensor recording are a great way
to conserve hard drive space, limit recordings to meaningful activities, and create a means
to quickly find recordings that are pertinent. The video motion detection feature built into
this DVR is designed to be one of the best in the industry with 11 sensitivity settings and a
selectable detection grid of 330 small squares (22 x 15) per camera. Pinpoint accuracy is
made possible with this type of grid system.

motion is detected

Motion Popup

Check the box to Enable/ Disable the popup screen function for ALL

channels. When motion is detected during LIVE view mode, the detected

channel’s image will then show in full screen display.

Enable

Select a channel number from the bar list, and check the box to Enable,
or uncheck to Disable motion detection for that ch

annel. This gives you

a way to choose channels that will use motion detection, and a way to
temporarily disable a channel without affecting its other motion settings.

Sensitivity

(A lower value = less)

Drag the bar, click the arrows◀ ▶, or click on the box to set up a Sensitivity
value from 0 to 10 for each channel. A lower value equals less
sensitivity.

Motion Area Setup

Click to enter the motion grid selection screen described below

3.3.1.1 Motion Area Setup

Right click on the grid screen to activ ate t he sub men u above.

The motion detection grid is made up of 330 small squares (22x15 pattern). The
concept is to make squares transparent where you want motion to be detected, and

mask RED any squares that should not detect motion. The qui

ckest way to

accomplish this is to make all squares transparent (active) with the “All Area

22

Detection” command, and then mask the ones that will be inactive with your mouse.

If most of the camera channel is to be inactive similar to the example above, then
select the “Mask All Area”

command and then select the squares you wish to be

active (transparent) with your mouse.

Item Description

Mask Mouse Selection

Check the box = mouse will mask squares.
Uncheck the box = mouse will make squares transparent.

All Area Detection

Makes the entire screen active (transparent)

Mask All Area

Continue

Temporarily turns the selection box OFF while you edit the screen. Right
click on the screen to turn the selection box back ON.

Exit & Save

Save setup and exit setup page.

Exit & Discard

Cancel setup and exit setup page.

3.3.2 Sensor Setup

Please Note: The Sensor / Alarm Input feature wi ll not operate until enabled in
Schedule Setup (next section 3.4).

Another way to conserve hard drive space and tag important events for fast access in the
future is to involve sensors to activate your DVR. PIR (passive infrared) motion detectors,
magnetic door switches, alarm panel relay outputs, etc., are just a few of the many ways to

23

activate a security video recorder. Activation devices or switches are sold as “Normally
Open” (N.O.) or “Normally Closed” (N.C.). A Normally Open switch is similar to a typical
light switch in your house. When the switch is OFF (or OPEN) no electricity flows to the
connected light fixture. When the switch is turned ON (CLOSED) the circuit is completed.
Please note the type of switch you are using as it will make a difference in the menu
settings.

Item Description

Alarm Duration(Seconds)

Alarm duration time (1~60 seconds). Sets the length of a recording
after a trigger is detected.

Sensor Popup Check the box to Enable/Disable the popup screen function for all

channels. When a sensor is activated during LIVE view mode, the

3.4 Schedule Setup

Schedule Setup allows you to control when your DVR records including: normal, motion

24

detection, and sensor / alarm detection. Busy or h igh traf fic times may be best suited

for Normal (c

ontinuous) recording, while off peak hours may be better monitored with

motion detection or alarm recording. Up to 50 sc hedules can be set (10 per page / 5
pages) using the left side of the menu above. The right side shows a summary of all
schedules by clicking on the Normal, Motion, or Sensor boxes along the top. Holding

3.7.1 Networking Setup

This DVR supports DHCP, LAN and ADSL access for network connections. A broadband
modem (such as D SL or Cabl e) wi ll nor mally conn ect to a rout er. Y o ur rout er may hav e bot h
wired and wireless features. Typically, computers and your DVR can connect to the ports
(RJ45 type jacks) on the back of the router.

3.7.1.1 DHCP

The DHCP option is the easiest to use for the DVR’s network connection. An IP
address will be assigned by the router or modem automatically after the DVR is
connected to the router or modem. The router or modem will act as a DHCP host an d
assign an open l ocal IP addr ess to the DVR. The home or office computers you have on
a local network are assigned an IP address in the same fashion. Similarly, your ISP
assigns your modem or router an IP address when they connect to the internet. In the
screen above, click on DHCP (turns green) if you wish to let your router select a LAN IP
address automatically. After exiting this setup menu, the DVR’s IP address will be

shown in the lower left portion of the screen. Write this number down.

3.7.1.2 LAN

Select LAN for network connection, the following information is required.

Item Description

IP Address

Unique address used to communicate with your DVR.

Subnet Mask

Can be used to divide or combine networks if needed.

Gateway

LAN address that directs devices to the wide area network (WAN).

DNS

System that matches a number (IP address) to a text entered name.

Setting your own LAN IP address

If you prefer to not use the DHCP function of your router, you may select “LAN” as shown in
the above figure. You will need to follow the same IP addressing process that your router
uses and set the fin al “oc tet” ( g r oup of numbers before or a ft er dots) yourself. You will need
the following information from your router:

1) The first three oct ets of the IP address. In the example above they are “192.168.12”
The last octet “38” w ill be a uniq ue nu mber fo r each com puter or dev ic e on your LAN.
The number you select MUST not be used by any other computer or device on your
LAN. If you use DHCP, this unique number is selected automatically.

2) Subnet mask used by your router. In the example above, it is “255.255.0.0”

3) Gateway used by your router. In the example above, it is “192.168.1.254”

To obtain the above information, log on to your router using your web browser or the
software program that came with your router. All of this information will be contained in
your router’s setup page(s). You can also obtain the information from any computer that is

32

connected to the s ame LAN as y our r outer. Look under “network setti ngs ” on y our co mputer.
The IP address of the computer, the subnet mask, the DNS address (from your ISP), and
the gateway that y our router as sig ned to y our computer w ill be list ed. The last item in the
setup is the DNS. If have a router in your system, you may skip this item. Fill in the DNS
information if you are connecting your DVR directly to a modem.

Typical home or small office LAN setup:

Checking your setup

You should now be able to view video from your DVR on your PC screen. Open Internet
Explorer and enter the IP address of the DVR in the address bar. A window will pop up
prompting you to please enter your user name and password. Default user name is admin
and the password is 123456.

33

The login page above is generated by the web server in your DVR. If you are not able
to view it, please double check your LAN settings, particularly the IP Address and
Gateway.

After a successful login, you will see a list of hot links.

The first link will allow you to view video without downloading the Active-X based viewer
program. You may need to temporarily turn off your web shield software to make the
initial connection to your PC. Once connected, you can turn your web shield back on.
A one ti me adjus tme nt o f the Active-X settings in Windows Explor er under Tools/Internet
Options/Security/Custom Level may also be needed.

34

Security -> Custom Level

35

The second link s ee n on the opening page will download the DVRemote viewer program to
your PC. This is the rec ommend ed pr oce dur e since it will make futur e conn ecti ons to y our
DVR go faster.

The third hot link connects to a simple JPEG viewer. This sends rapid images to a larger
variety of computers, browsers, and 3G mobile phones, but without access menus and
multiple view screens.

The fourth hot link is for H264 RTSP. This can be used with QuickTime and non-Windows
based computers and mobil e dev ices. This method adds the ability to switch between HQ
and LQ video quality streams (not available with the JPEG viewer).

The fifth link will download a file player for backups and archiv ed v i deo.

3.7.1.2.1 Internet Access via a Router and Modem

Once the local (LAN) connecti on is es ta bl ished, the next step is gain access through the
firewall of the router. The Port Forwarding or DMZ feature of your router will need to be
used. In some cases, a second router may be contained within your modem. This will
require port forwarding or DMZ settings be done to both the router and the modem.

36

1) Write down the IP Address and HTTP port number that ha s been assigned to the DVR.

2) Refer to user’s manual of the router or go to http://portforward.com to get assistance
with the port forwarding of the router. Entering the LAN IP address of your DVR into
the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) of your router will also place the DVR on the outside of
the router’s firewall.

3) From your computer, connect to your router’s settings summary page by entering the
local IP address of your router into the address bar of Internet Explorer. Read the
Internet port or WAN IP Address being used by the router. If the Internet Port or W A N
IP Address is the same as the address that is assigned to your modem ( this can be
checked at http://security-labs.com/ip.shtml ), then you are fi ni she d. If the WAN
addresses are dif fere nt, there is another fir ewall ins ide the modem t o get through. Port
forwarding will have to be perfor med on the r outer w ithin the mo dem. Continue with your
investigation and adjustments until the Internet IP (WAN) Addresses are the same.

Note: There are (2) IP addresses to remember; the local area network (LAN) IP
address (the one for the DVR) and the wide area network (WAN) or Internet Ad dress
the one to your Modem. The LAN address is used to operate your DVR from
computers inside your network (at home o r b usi ness) . The WA N add ress is u sed to

operate your DVR from the internet (remote locations).

3.7.1.3 ADSL

To use a DSL service, a User Name and Password may be required by your DSL provider.
Contact your DSL’s customer service. If you are using a modem co nnec t ed t o a rout er,
refer to the previous se c ti ons t o s et u p your DVR’s LAN (Manual or DHC P) connection first.

37

3.7.2 HTTP Setup

A wide variance exists among internet connection speeds and broadband network
capabilities. The network transmission portion of your DVR is highly scalable. Quality
and frames-per-second adjustments are available for each channel. The t otal
transmission rate of the DVR is based on 60 FPS global. You can assign a higher frame
rate and /or quality setting to more important camera views, and a lower setting to others.
This will allow you fine tune your broadband transmission for peak performance.

Item Description
