 Sensitivity: System supports 6 levels. The sixth level has the highest sensitivity.  Anti-dither: Here you can set anti -dither time. The value ranges from 5 to 600s. The anti-dither time

refers to the alarm signal lasts time. It can be seem as the alarm signal activation stays such as the buzzer, tour, PTZ activation, snapshot, channel record. The stay time here does not include the latch time. During the alarm process, the alarm signal can begin an anti-dither time if system detects the local alarm again. The screen prompt, alarm upload, email and etc will not be activated. For example, if you set the anti-dither time as 10 second, you can see the each activation may last 10s if the local alarm is activated. During the process, if system detects another local alarm signal at the fifth second, the buzzer, tour, PTZ activation, snapshot, record channel will begin another 10s while the

171

screen prompt, alarm upload, email will not be activated again. After 10s, if system detects another alarm signal, it can generate an alarm since the anti-dither time is out.

 Period: Click set button, you can see an interface is shown as in Figure 4-84. Here you can set

4.12 Network

4.12.1.1 TCP/IP The single network adapter interface is shown as in Figure 4-99 and the dual network adapters interface is shown as in Figure 4-100.

 Network Mode : Includes multiple access, fault tolerance, and load balancing

 Multiple-address mode: eth0 and eth1 operate separately. You can use the services such as

HTTP, RTP service via etho0 or the eth1. Usually you need to set one default card (default setup is etho) to request the auto network service form the device-end such as DHCP, email, FTP and etc. In multiple-address mode, system network status is shown as offline once one card is offline.

 Network fault-tolerance: In this mode, device uses bond0 to communicate with the external

devices. You can focus on one host IP address. At the same time, you need to set one master card. Usually there is only one running card (master card).System can enable alternate card when the master card is malfunction. The system is shown as offline once these two cards are both offline. Please note these two cards shall be in the same LAN.

 Load balance: In this mode, device uses bond0 to communicate with the external device. The

eth0 and eth1 are both working now and bearing the network load. Their network load are general the same. The system is shown as offline once these two cards are both offline. Please note these two cards shall be in the same LAN.

 Default Network Card: Please select eth0/eth1/bond0(optional) after enable multiple-access

function  Main Network Card: Please select eth0/eth1 (optional).after enable multiple access function.

Note: The dual-Ethernet port series support the above three configurations and supports functions as multiple-access, fault-tolerance and load balancing.

185

 IP Version: There are two options: IPv4 and IPv6. Right now, system supports these two IP address

format and you can access via them.  MAC address: The host in the LAN can get a unique MAC address. It is for you to access in the LAN. It is

read-only.  IP address: Here you can use up/down button () or input the corresponding number to input IP

address. Then you can set the corresponding subnet mask the default gateway.  Default gateway: Here you can input the default gateway. Please note system needs to check the

validity of all IPv6 addresses. The IP address and the default gateway shall be in the same IP

section. That is to say, the specified length of the subnet prefix shall have the same string.  DHCP: It is to auto search IP. When enable DHCP function, you can not modify IP/Subnet mask

/Gateway. These values are from DHCP function. If you have not enabled DHCP function, IP/Subnet

mask/Gateway display as zero. You need to disable DHCP function to view current IP information.

Besides, when PPPoE is operating, you can not modify IP/Subnet mask /Gateway.  MTU: It is to set MTU value of the network adapter. The value ranges from 1280-7200 bytes. The

default setup is 1500 bytes. Please note MTU modification may result in network adapter reboot and

network becomes off. That is to say, MTU modification can affect current network service. System

may pop up dialog box for you to confirm setup when you want to change MTU setup. Click OK

button to confirm current reboot, or you can click Cancel button to terminate current modification.

Before the modification, you can check the MTU of the gateway; the MTU of the NVR shall be the

same as or is lower than the MTU of the gateway. In this way, you can reduce packets and enhance

network transmission efficiency. The following MTU value is for reference only.

 1500: Ethernet information packet max value and it is also the default value. It is the typical

setup when there is no PPPoE or VPN. It is the default setup of some router, switch or the network adapter.

 1492: Recommend value for PPPoE.

 1468: Recommend value for DHCP.  Preferred DNS server: DNS server IP address.  Alternate DNS server: DNS server alternate address.  Transfer mode: Here you can select the priority between fluency/video qualities.  LAN download: System can process the downloaded data first if you enable this function. The

download speed is 1.5X or 2.0X of the normal speed.  LAN download: System can process the downloaded data first if you enable this function. The

download speed is 1.5X or 2.0X of the normal speed. After completing all the setups please click save button, system goes back to the previous menu.
