- DHCP

This item allows user to obtain a dynamic IP address from DHCP

(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server during the unit boots up.

When using DHCP, the settings are dynamic and they will change every

time you power up and power off the unit; depending on your network's

setup.

If the item is enabled (ON), a dynamic IP will be assigned to Triplex MPEG-4 DVR. In this case, user does not need to configure a static IP

and the Ethernet settings including IP address, Netmask, Gateway, and

DNS settings will be read-only. The default setting is <ON>.

If you are using permanent addressing, set DHCP to <OFF> for setting

the IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS. See your network system

administrators or IT personnel for appropriate values for these settings.

- IP

The item is used to configure the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the

unit. The IP address is the identifier for your computer or device on a

TCP/IP LAN or WAN. Please note that to set a static IP address, DHCP

must be set to <OFF>.

- Netmask

A netmask is a 32-bit mask used to divide an IP address into subnets

and specify the networks available hosts. Its value is defined by your

network administrator. It takes the form as ***.***.***.***, for example,

255.255.255.255.

This item allows user to enter the value of the Netmask for the unit.

domain names are easier to remember.

The item allows user to specify the IP address of the Domain Name

System associated with the unit. To configure this item, DHCP must be

set to <OFF>.

If the server is unavailable when using DHCP, the unit searches for the

network server and boots up more slowly. This network search

continues until it times out.

ENTER, then adjust the setting by UP / DOWN keys.

 DDNS Setup

synchronized with a dynamic IP address. In other words, it allows those using

a dynamic IP address to be associated to a static domain name so others can

connect to it by name.

User’s Manual

Once the setting is completed, the DDNS address will be:

NOTE: The total PPS is shared by 16 viewing windows, which means, even one

window hasn’t connected with a camera and displays no video, that window still

wastes pps. But if you select <ezRecord> for setting the unit, those windows with

no cameras connected to them will not be recorded, in other words, the pps will

not be wasted.

This item aims to avoid the complicated record settings, and to make the setup much

easier. Note that the item can be reached only when you select <ezRecord> as the option

for <Preset Config>.

Select <ezRecord Setup> from <Record Setup> and press ENTER, the sub-menu appears

as below figure:

To have the ezRecord Setup done, follow these steps:

• Select <How Many Days To Record> and press ENTER, then press

UP/DOWN to choose an option. The average normal PPS & Quality will be

adjusted automatically. The maximum of days depends of the size of your

HDD, in the other words, the larger the HDD installed, the more days the unit

can record.

whether you want the DVR to record during daytime. If yes, using UP/DOWN

to select <Yes> as option; or, select <No> for not recording during daytime.

• Repeat the same procedures through the 3rd and 4th item, respectively. Note

that <Weekend Record> will be not accessible if you select <NO> for the item

• Select <Average Normal PPS> and press ENTER, then press UP/DOWN to

choose an option. The <How Many Days To Record> will be computed

automatically.

• Select <Average Normal Quality> and press ENTER, then press UP/DOWN

to choose an option. The <How Many Days To Record> will be computed

automatically.

NOTE: The current number of connected cameras will affect the

recording quality automatically calculated through the <ezRecord

Setup>. Therefore, once you disconnect cameras or connect more

cameras to the unit, you should reset the <ezRecord Setup>.

User can choose to record video in circular mode or in linear mode. If you choose to record

in circular mode, then the unit begins to overwrite the oldest recorded video; and stores

new video over the HDD spaces. If you choose to record in linear mode in stead, the unit

stops recording, and the internal buzzer starts beeping when the HDD is full.
