Quick DDNS and Client-end Introduction
1) Background Introduction
Device IP is not fixed if you use ADSL to login the network. The DDNS function allows you to access the NVR via the registered domain name. Besides the general DDNS, the quick DDNS works with the device from the manufacturer so that it can add the extension function.
2) Function Introduction The quick DDNS client has the same function as other DDNS client end. It realizes the bonding of the domain name and the IP address. Right now, current DDNS server is for our own devices only. You need to refresh the bonding relationship of the domain and the IP regularly. There is no user name, password or the ID registration on the server. At the same time, each device has a default domain name (Generated by MAC address) for your option. You can also use customized valid domain name (has not registered.).
3) Operation Before you use our quick DDNS, you need to enable this service and set proper server address, port value and domain name.
Server addresswww.quickddns.com
Port number80
82
Domain nameThere are two modes: Default domain name and customized domain name.
Except default domain name registration, you can also use customized domain name (You can input your self-defined domain name.). After successful registration, you can use domain name to login installed of the device IP.
User name: It is optional. You can input your commonly used email address.
Important

In the main menu, from Setting to Alarm, you can see alarm setup interface. See Figure 5-55.
Alarm in: Here is for you to select channel number.
Event type: There are four types. Local input/network input/IPC external/IPC offline alarm.
# Local input alarm: The alarm signal system detects from the alarm input port. # Network input alarm: It is the alarm signal from the network.
# IPC external alarm: It is the on-off alarm signal from the front-end device and can
activate the local NVR.
# IPC offline alarm: Once you select this item, system can generate an alarm when the
front-end IPC disconnects with the local NVR. The alarm can activate record, PTZ, snap and etc. The alarm can last until the IPC and the NVR connection resumes.
Enable: Please you need to highlight this button to enable current function.
Type: normal open or normal close.
Period: It is to set local alarm period. System only enables local alarm in the specified period. Click the Set button; you can select the business day and the non-business day. Please note
for the work day/free day setup and the specific work day setup, system just saves the latest setup. For example, the work day ranges from 8:30-17:30 Monday to Friday, and then you set the period 7:10-18:00 for Monday. So, the arm period of the Monday ranges from 7:10 to 18:00. Please highlight the corresponding button to enable this function.
PTZ activation: When an alarm occurred, system can activate the PTZ operation. The PTZ activation lasts an anti-dither period.
# In the Pan/Tilt/Zoom interface (Main menu->Setting-> Pan/Tilt/Zoom), please set video
channel, speed dome protocol and etc.
# Select the channel of current speed dome as current monitor video and the right click
mouse to select Pan/Tilt/Zoom item. Now you can set preset, tour pattern.
# In Figure 5-56, click “select” button, you can see an interface is shown as in Figure 5-57.
Here you can set the activation operation such as preset tour, pattern and enable.
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 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.
91
Alarm output: The number here is the device alarm output port. You can select the corresponding ports(s) so that system can activate the corresponding alarm device(s) when
an alarm occurred.
Latch: When the anti-dither time ended, the channel alarm you select in the alarm output may last the specified period. The value ranges from 1 to 300 seconds. This function is not for
other alarm activation operations. The latch is still valid even you disable the alarm event function directly.
Show message: System can pop up a message to alarm you in the local host screen if you enabled this function.
Alarm upload: System can upload the alarm signal to the network (including alarm centre and the WEB) if you enabled current function. System only uploads the alarm channel status. You can go to the WEB and then go to the Alarm interface to set alarm event and alarm operation. Please go to the Network interface to set alarm centre information.
Send email: System can send out the alarm signal via the email to alert you when alarm occurs. Once you enable the snap function, system can also send out an image as the
attachment. Please go to the Main Menu->Setting ->Network->Email interface to set.
Record channel: you can select proper channel to record alarm video (Multiple choices). # You need to set alarm record mode as Schedule in Record interface (Main
Menu->Advanced->Record). Please note the manual record has the highest priority. System record all the time no matter there is an alarm or not if you select Manual mode.
# Now you can go to the Schedule interface (Main Menu->Setting->Schedule) to set the
record type, corresponding channel number, week and date. You can select the record type:Regular/MD/Alarm/MD&Alarm. Please note, you can not select the MD&Alarm and MD(or Alarm) at the same time.
# Now you can go to the Encode interface to select the alarm record and set the encode
parameter (Main Menu->Setting->Encode).
# Finally, you can set the alarm input as the local alarm and then select the record channel.
The select channel begins alarm record when an alarm occurred. Please note system begins the alarm record instead of the MD record if the local alarm and MD event occurred at the same time.
Tour: Here you can enable tour function when an alarm occurs. System supports 1/8-window tour. Please go to chapter 5.6.9 Display for tour interval setup. Please note the tour setup
here has higher priority than the tour setup you set in the Display interface. Once there two tours are both enabled, system can enable the alarm tour as you set here when an alarm occurred. If there is no alarm, system implements the tour setup in the Display interface.
Snapshot: You can enable this function to snapshoot image when an alarm occurs.
Buzzer: Highlight the icon to enable this function. The buzzer beeps when an alarm occurs.

7 Web Operation
7.1
General Introduction
The device web provides channel monitor menu tree, search, alarm setup, system setup, PTZ control and monitor window.
Important The following operation is based on 16-channel series device. For the 32-channel series product, there is 32-channel option.
7.1.1 Preparation
Before log in, please make sure:
Network connection is right
NVR and PC network setup is right. Please refer to network setup(main
menu->setting->network)
Use order ping ***.***.***.***(* NVR IP address) to check connection is OK or not. Usually the return TTL value should be less than 255.
Open the IE and then input NVR IP address.
System can automatically download latest web control and the new version can overwrite the previous one.
If you want to un-install the web control, please run uninstall webrec2.0.bat. Or you can go to C:\Program Files\webrec to remove single folder. Please note, before you un-install, please close all web pages, otherwise the un-installation might result in error.
Current series product supports various browsers such as Safari, firebox browser, Google browser. Device only support 1-channel monitor on the Apple PC.
About PoE address setup, operation and allocation.
1) Insert PoE After you insert PoE, device may try to set a corresponding IP address of the Switch network adapter. First, system tries to set via arp ping. It then uses DHCP if it finds the DHCP is enabled. After successfully set IP address, system may use Switch to send out broadcast, system thinks the connection is OK when there is any response. Now system is trying to login the newly found IPC. Now please check the interface, you can see the corresponding digital channel is active now. You can see a small PoE icon at the top left corner. You can see the PoE channel, PoE port information and etc from the connection list of the remote device interface (Chapter 5.6.11). For the IP search list, you need to click the IP search to display or refresh.
2) Remove PoE After you removed PoE, you can see the corresponding digital channel becomes idle (disable). On the remote device interface, it is removed from the connected list. For the IP search list, you need to click the IP search to refresh.
3) After you insert PoE, system follows the principles listed below to map channel.
a) If it is your first time to insert PoE, system can map it to the first idle channel. After
map, the channel can memorize the MAC address of the IPC. It is a <Channel>---<IPC mac> map. If current channel does not connect to other device, system can memorize current MAC address, otherwise it can refresh to the newly added device and memorize the <PoE port>---<Channel>.
121
b) If it is your second time to insert the PoE, system can check the saved MAC address
according to <Channel>---<IPC mac> map to make sure current IPC has connected or not. If system finds the previous information and the channel is idle, system can map it to the previously used channel. Otherwise system goes to the next step.
c) Thirdly, according to the <PoE port>---<Channel> map, system can know the
previous mapping channel of current PoE port. System can select current channel if it is free. Otherwise, it goes to the next step:
d) Fourthly, system goes to find the first idle channel it can get. Generally speaking, once you insert PoE, system follow the steps listed above to find the channel available.
4) When you insert PoE, all channels are in use now . System can pop up a dialogue box for you to select a channel to overwrite. The title of the pop-up interface is the name of the current operation PoE port. In this interface, All PoE channel become grey and can not select.
7.1.2 Log in
Open the IE and then input the NVR IP address in the address column. For example, if your NVR IP address is 192.168.1.108, then please input http:// 192.168.1.108 in IE address column. See Figure 7-1.
