5-4. Record Setup
This is the most important configuration of the DVR. Enter into SYSTEM MENU-RECORD SETUP and press the
[ENTER] button.
5.4.1 Record Configuration
Use direction button to move and [-] [+] button to set value.
1. OVERWRITE: Set overwrite or stop recording when the HDD is full.
2. MULTIPLEX: DUPLEX: Playback & Ethernet
TRIPLEX: Playback & Recording & Ethernet
Note: DUPLEX MODE is recommended to playback the images at a maximum frame rate. But,
one down side is that it causes the DVR not to record during a playback/search.
3. QUALITY: Setting recorded picture quality.
To select the picture quality, the user will step-through the quality settings as listed below. Be aware the higher the resolution (eg: Super Fine), the quicker the HDD capacity will be used up and images will be overwritten earlier. For most operations we recommend either BASIC or NORMAL.
BASIC -> NORMAL -> ENHANCED -> FINE -> SUPER FINE: Default quality set by manufacturer is Super Fine
In Emergency recording mode, recording quality is SUPER FINE. To send more images via IP network and longer recording time, set QUALITY at NORNAL or
ENHANCED and record at 360x240 or 360x120.
Data size of image in PAL system is a little bigger than NTSC system, but the total recording time is same as in NTSC system.
Setup
4. RESOLUTION: Set recording resolution.
60 ips at 720x240(NTSC), 50 ips at 720x288(PAL) 120 ips at 360x240(NTSC), 100 ips at 360x288(PAL) 240 ips at 360x120(NTSC), 200 ips at 360x144(PAL)
Images recorded in 360x240 (360x288) or 360x120 (360x144) are always played in quad mode. It is not possible to see these images in full screen mode while playing back recorded images.
Recording in half or quad resolution is recommended for higher recoding speeds, or when wishing to transmit images via a GPRS network for a live remote view.
5. Record in Alarm Set record speed (skip rate) in ALARM record mode.
6. Record in Motion: Set record speed (skip rate) in MOTION record mode.
7. Continuous Record: Set record speed (skip rate) in CONTINUOUS record mode.
Set record speed (skip rate); 1/1x, 1/2x, ………. 1/999x record speed
(R: RECORD S: SKIP )
ex: 1/2x ) R -> S -> R -> S… ex: 1/3x ) R -> S -> S -> R -> S -> S -> R… ex: 1/4x ) R -> S -> S -> S -> R -> S -> S… ex: If record resolution is set at 360x240, 1/1x = 120 ips, 1/2x = 60 ips, 1/3x = 40 ips, etc.
Setup

6-1. DVR Network Configuration
Now that you are familiar with the equipment and need to be able to identify a router from a modem and a Cat5 network cable from a telephone cable, we will proceed to determine the network scenario that fits your current network.
Please call your provider to identify what type of service they are providing you. You will need to know following;
Upload speed: For your own reference for expected frame rates Download speed: For your own reference for expected frame rates Addressing: To determine what scenario you should follow Router or Modem: For determine what scenario you should follow
NOTE: If your provider is using PPPoE (usually DSL providers), you MUST have a router installed
on site and follow CASE C for DVR setup and access.
Please verify TCP/IP settings after installing any new equipment (routers, switches, modems, etc.). If possible, use a PC on the network to verify that the connection can be made and that all current configurations on any equipment are up and working properly. Do this before doing ANY configurations with the DVR. We are assuming that your current equipment is configured properly for TCP/IP access.
PC’s TCP/IP Setting
Before configuring the DVR, please fill out the information below if applicable; Choose any PC on your network and determine its TCP/IP settings;
IP Address: (ex.192.168.1.5)
Subnet Mask: (ex. 255.255.255.0)
Default Gateway:(ex.192.168.1.1)
For information on how to determine this information, please consult the FAQ page 43. The next few pages cover several network scenarios. Each one is labeled with a letter. Please identify which
scenario your current network falls within and follow the instructions for configuring and accessing your DVR via TCP/IP.
The box below represents an area that you can’t control. If you are unable or do not have access to your router for port forwarding. Please contact your provider and request them to forward a port to the corresponding DVR IP address:

For Window 2000 / XP
1. Click on the Start Menu, select RUN
2. Type ‘cmd’ (without the quotes), hit Enter
3. The command prompt will appear. At the prompt type – “ipconfig”(without the quotes)
4. This will list your current IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
How do I choose a unique IP that matches my network?
For your home or small office, ensure that all devices on your network are running. Chose an IP address that you wish to assign the DVR. To ensure the IP address that you will assign the DVR matches your network, review the “PC’s TCP/IP settings” that you had recorded earlier. See some examples below.”
If your “IP Address” entry in “PC’s TCP/IP Settings” was 192.168.0.y and your “Subnet Mask” was
255.255.255.0 then use 192.168.0.x for your DVR’s IP Address (“x” meaning any number between 2-254 that
you wish, as long as it passes the “PING” test).
If your “IP Address” entry in “PC’s TCP/IP Settings” was 192.168.1.y and your “Subnet Mask” was
255.255.255.0 then use 192.168.1.x for your DVR’s IP Address (“x” meaning any number between 2-254 that
you wish, as long as it passes the “PING” test).
After choosing an appropriate IP address, ‘PING’ the IP address that you plan to assign to the DVR. If you receive a “Request timed out”, then you may use that IP address (the PING test has passed).
* If your “IP Address” entry under “PC’s TCP/IP Settings” is not a 192.168.z.y address with a “Subnet Mask” of
255.255.255.0 then please contact our Support Center.
** If your “IP Address” entry under “PC’s TCP/IP Settings” is not a 192.168.z.y address, please contact our
Support Center.
How do I “PING” an IP address ?
1. Open an MS-DOS (or Command) prompt.
2. At the prompt type – “ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” (without the quotes and replace the x’s with an IP address)
3. Press Enter

3. Press Enter
Ping Result. When testing for a usable IP address, verify that you get a “Request timed out” message. This
ensures that the IP address that you have tested is not being used by another device on your network.
Network Setting
How do I open an MS-DOS or Command Prompt?
Windows 98/Me: Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> MS-DOS prompt Windows 2000/XP:Start -> (All) Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt
How do I choose a private IP address : Below lists the ranges for private addresses.
Private Class A address space: 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 Private Class B address space: 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 Private Class C address space: 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
For most cases you will choose a private IP address that falls in the Class C address space. (ex. 192.168.1.x or
192.168.0.x)
How do I forward a port in my router?
For cases A&C you must forward a TCP/IP port through your router. This port is the Port Number specified in the DVR. For most cases you should be able to leave the default at 50000.
Every router has a different procedure for forwarding ports. Please consult your router’s user guide on how to correctly configure Port Forwarding.
Can I configure my DVRX for remote access using a Dial-Up connection?
Yes, it is possible, but not recommended. With a live video feed, the bandwidth that a dial-up connection provides is very poor. In addition, you will have to install a device that allows your DVR to connect directly to your dial-up phone line.
Why is my remote video jerky?
The frame rates received via the Internet are all dependent on your connection condition and speed at both the DVR site and the location from where you are accessing the DVR. The fastest frame rates are achieved locally.
Important Notes Regarding the Remote Viewer and the DVR
When you are in SCAN MODE and are playing back data, you are actually accessing the DVR remotely and placing the unit itself in playback mode, which enables DVR to record the images.
When selecting a date/time to play back. First, ensure that the stop button has been pressed (screen should have no images displayed). Next, select the date you wish to view and verify that it is a valid date on the hard drive and that the selected data is outlined with the box filled in. Then, select the time you wish to access for that particular date. Finally, hit the single-arrow play or double-arrow play button.
To see continuous live view, we recommend NOT setting the DVR for motion detection. The remote viewer only sends images when there is motion and this motion is not fluid. The remote SCAN MODE option still operates as normal. We recommend only using the remote playback feature if you set the DVR for Continuous Record.
The DVR still records images in the remote scan mode, but recording rates drop by a small amount. Therefore, we recommend remote access to DVR for Scan when needed.
The remote viewer is only compatible with Windows operating systems. If the connection is lost during remote playback, exit SCAN MODE, reconnect to the live view, then re-enter SCAN MODE.
