6.2.3 Motion Detection
You can use these settings to adjust the area and sensitivity of motion detection on each
camera channel. These settings are important if you are using motion activated recording,
because if adjusted correctly, they can help prevent false triggering of
motion recording.
1. Channel – Select the camera channel in which you would like to make changes
2. Set Detection Area – Select this setting to enter a grid screen for the selected
camera channel. In this screen you can set the areas in the camera’s view that
you want to enable or block motion detection in. For example, if there are cars
constantly driving by in an area on your camera, you can block that area from
detecting motion. Use the directions below to set up motion detection areas:
Area Block Color:
• Grey: Detection Block. These areas will be detected
• Transparent: Non-Detection Block.
• Green: Flashes when motion on the camera is being detected.
Use the green ashes to determine where motion is consistently being detected, and then
make sure to set the motion detection area to exclude these areas from motion detection.
Follow the directions below:
• Press “SEARCH” button to enable whole detection area.
• Press “MENU” button to disable whole detection area.
• You can set up a maximum of 3 separate detection areas (Detection areas
may overlap):
• Press the” UP/ DOWN/ LEFT/ RIGHT” buttons to setup the starting point of the
detection area.
• Press the “ENTER” button to conrm the starting point of the detection area.
• Press the “UP/ DOWN/ LEFT/ RIGHT” buttons to drag the window and set the

3. Sensitivity: The blue bar shown on the Motion Detection screen indicates the motion
variation of the detection window. When the amount of motion detected exceeds the preset
sensitivity threshold, it triggers motion detection recording. For example, if there is slight
movement in your camera’s view (e.g. curtains blowing, shadows) you can decrease the
sensitivity of that camera channel to avoid false triggering of motion record.

7.DVR NETWORKING GUIDE
7.1 Introduction
Congratulations on taking a step forward in protecting your valued possessions. Now that
you have your video security system in place, connecting it to the internet will allow you to
view what’s important to you with ease. You will learn about your product and will see that
you can do this on your own. The following is a step by step instruction manual on how to
connect your system to the internet. You will be able to view your DVR and even watch
previously recorded footage with the touch of a button.
NOTE: This guide was created using a cable modem and some procedures will be slightly
different depending on your hardware. If you are using a DSL modem, you may need to
enter your PPPoE settings into the DVR (User name and password provided by your ISP.)
For more information refer to section 9.2 of the user manual.
Before you start lets make sure that you have everything you need to do this properly. You
should have these ready and connected before beginning:
• DVR connected to a router
• Router connected to the internet. In order for this DVR system to connect to
the internet, it must be connected to a router. If you are using a DSL internet
connection the setup process is much easier if you use modem with a router
integrated in it as this will help avoid any problems connecting your DVR. Please
write down the model # of your router in the important information section.
• A PC laptop or computer that is connected to the router so you can make the
necessary changes. This system is not Mac compatible. Your computer should
have the following specications:
• Internet Explorer Version 5 or higher. If you do not have this program,
please go to www.download.com and get an updated version. You can check
your version of Internet Explorer by opening the program. Go to the top menu
selection and in the Help menu options, choose About Internet Explorer. The
version will be displayed.
• A valid and fully updated version of Windows XP (minimum).

in Step 4 followed by a space, a colon and the port number. This DVR’s default port
number is 80. Your IP address should look something like this: 192.168.0.1 :80
Some versions of Internet Explorer will not work with a space in the address
bar. If this is the case, try it without the space. eg: 192.168.0.100:80
6. If entered successfully a window will open
up with a login screen. The default USER
NAME is admin. The default PASSWORD
will be 1234.
CLEARVU3 25
SVAT ELECTRONICS
now you can see
7. The rst time you logon to the DVR, an ActiveX Installation window will appear.
Install the ActiveX control.
7.4 Connect To The Internet
If your Internet connection is DSL (a broadband connection that comes through your
phone line) you may need to congure PPPoE settings in your DVR. If you do not
know what type of broadband connection you have, contact your internet service
provider. Ask your ISP if your internet connection is cable or DSL.
If you have cable: Skip the DSL section below and continue with the Port Forwarding Section.
If you have DSL: You need your DSL user name and password. You may be able to
nd it in the documentation that came with your DSL modem. If not,
please call your Internet Service Provider to acquire it
1. Click on the CONFIGURATION button in the DVR browser.
2. Under Remote IP Assignment, enter your DSL user name in the User Name box.
3. Enter your DSL password in the Password box.
4. Scroll to the bottom.
5. Click the “Reboot” button.
6. Power off the DVR and power it back on to conrm the changes. The changes
will not take effect until you restart the DVR.
7. Follow the steps listed in the Port Forwarding section
PORT FORWARDING
Port forwarding is a necessary step that opens a path on your home/business network to
allow you to view your DVR video feed from outside your network (over the internet).
There are hundreds of makes and brands of routers on the market and these instructions
have been made using a D-Link router (Model DI-524). If you have a router that is different
than shown, please visit www.portforward.com and go to the link marked GUIDES. Once on
this page, go to the link marked Port Forwarding Guides by Router. Find your router make
and model in the list of links and click on it. You will see a list of various applications. Find
a link for any DVR or IP camera and click on it. Follow the instructions but make sure you
forward the correct port number (the port number assigned to your DVR. The default port
number is 80. )
The steps for your router will be similar to the following.
These instructions have also been created without a rewall in place. If you have a rewall,
please consult a computer technician.
CLEARVU3 26
SVAT ELECTRONICS
now you can see
NOTE: Your router may require a user name and password. If you do not know it, ask
the person who configured your network. Portforward.com will provide you with each
router’s default user name and password.
D-LINK ROUTER
You will need to enable the ports by locating the port range forwarding screen. With some
D-LINK routers the port forwarding screen is located within the Applications & Games or
Filters tab; in others it is located in the Advanced Tools tab.
1. Open your web browser. Enter the ROUTER IP address in the address bar as shown below and
press ENTER.
2. Enter the user name admin. Leave the password blank followed by pressing the OK
button (unless you have set up a user name and password for your router)
3. Select the Advanced tab.
CLEARVU3 27
SVAT ELECTRONICS
now you can see
4. Select the Virtual Server tab.
• Enable the Virtual server
• In the Name eld type in “DVR”
• In the Private IP eld enter the DVR’s IP address.
• In the Protocol eld, select Both (This will enable both TCP and UDP).
• In the Private port enter the port number you need to forward. By default this
DVR is set to port 80. Use port 80 unless you have a reason to change the DVR
to another port (not recommended).
• In the Public port re-enter the port number you entered in the private port eld (e.g. 80).
• Select the Schedule to Always.
• Ensure that the Virtual Server (or forwarding that is being set-up) is set to ENABLED.
When complete, select the Apply button located at the bottom of the page to save your
changes. Port forwarding is now complete!
7.5 Find Your External IP
Now you will need to nd your external IP address. This will be the address you will be
entering in order to access the DVR from outside your network (over the internet).
There are many ways to nd your external IP address. The simplest way is to go to http://
www.whatsmyip.org. This site will display your external IP address in the top portion of the
screen.If you go to http://www.portforward.com, it will also display this IP address. Write it
down on the second page marked EXTERNAL IP.
Test Your External IP
Now that you know your external IP address, you can perform a test to ensure your DVR is
accessible from outside your network (over the internet).
1. Open Internet Explorer, and in the address bar type in the EXTERNAL IP address,
followed by a colon and your port number (default is port 80). It should similar to the
following 2 examples:14.14.243.113 :80 OR 14.14.243.113:80
CLEARVU3 28
SVAT ELECTRONICS
now you can see
2. Press ENTER, and your DVR’s login window should pop up. If it does not pop up, your
router is not properly forwarding the necessary port. This could be due to a number of
problems including incorrect settings, presence of a rewall, or a DSL modem that has
its own IP address.
If your DSL modem has its own internal IP address, it will not properly forward the
necessary port. You may have to congure PPPoE settings in the DVR to match the
settings provided to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Consult your ISP for
more information. SVAT technical support cannot troubleshoot modems, since changing
these settings can potentially render your modem inoperable.
See section 9.2 Advanced Network Setup for PPPoE conguration instructions.
You should also check all your network connections and go through the above steps
again to make sure a conguration error was not made.
7.6 Forwarding Outside Your Network.
Port Dynamic DNS
This section will explain how to associate your IP address with an easy-to-remember URL
(domain name)
1. Open Internet Explorer and type in www.dyndns.com
2. The instructions on creating a dynamic DNS may have changed since the writing of this
guide. Create a new account by clicking the link “Create Account”
3. Enter your preferred user name, email address, and password.
4. Do not worry about the optional information. Agree to the Terms of Service by checking
the boxes. Click Create Account.

11. Choose a domain name from the dropdown menu. We recommend using the dvrdns.org sufx.
12. In the IP address eld, type in your external IP address (it may also be shown below the eld).
13. Leave all the rest of the options as-is, and click Create New Host.
14. Your dynamic DNS settings have been created.
CLEARVU3 31
SVAT ELECTRONICS
now you can see
7.7 Finalizing The Set-Up
Now you must associate your DVR with the DynDNS account you just created. This will
ensure that when your external IP address changes, your domain name (address in the
Internet Explorer Address Bar) will remain associated with your new IP address. This will
ensure that you will only need to type in your domain name in order to access your DVR,
whether you are inside or outside of your network:
1. Log-on to your DVR through your computer by using either the internal or
external IP address.
2. Click the CONFIGURATION button.
3. Under the “Network DVR Setup” window, scroll down to “DDNS Account Setting.”
4. Make sure the ENABLE button is selected.
CLEARVU3 32
SVAT ELECTRONICS
now you can see
5. Enter the username, password, and full domain name you congured at www.
dyndns.com.
Example:
UserName: myname
Password: mypassword
DomainName: myname.dvrdns.org
6. Click the OK button located in this section to save your conguration. Reboot
the DVR by powering it off and then on again to conrm the changes. You must
reboot the DVR any time a change is made in the conguration menu.
7. You should now be able to access your DVR simply by typing in your domain
name (i.e. myname.dvrdns.org)
Note:
If your router is set to automatically assign an IP address to your DVR (Dynamic/DHCP),
your DVR’s internal IP address may change if your DVR or router is rebooted. To resolve
this problem, you need to congure your router to forward to this new address (simply
replace the old private IP address with the new one). To avoid this problem all together, you
can set your router to Static LAN IP, which will assign the same IP address to the DVR every
time, even when the DVR or router is rebooted.
7.8 Additional Troubleshooting
I press play and nothing happens
You need to press STOP on the DVR rst. This DVR can either record or view video
footage. It will not do both at the same time. Please make sure that you press STOP
before proceeding.
My browser keeps freezing
First make sure you have an up to date browser and that the proper ActiveX options are
selected. If they are, you may need to re-install your browser.
I can’t remember my DVR’s password
Call technical support to obtain the DVR’s master password
I can’t see at night with my IR night vision camera
These cameras are spec’d at 10-15ft in the dark. If you placed these cameras outdoors in
the open, the night vision will be reduced as there is nothing to reect the IR emitted from
the camera. To help increase the viewing capabilities add additional lighting to the area.
The color is off on the camera
These cameras have been designed with a high resolution lens which allows you to see
crisp clean images. The best lighting for this system is by using incandescent lighting.
Other lighting effects will alter the color. You can adjust the color of the cameras in your
menu settings. (see 7.2.2)
