4.1.2 Network Configuration
If you connect to a router that supp or t s DHCP, please check the
DHCP
box. The router w ill assign
automatically all the networ k par ameters for your NVR. If the network is manually addressed use the below parameters:
IP Address
: The IP address identifies the NVR in the net work. It consists of four groups o f
numbers between 0 to 255, separat ed by periods. For example, “192.168.001.100”.
7
USER MANUAL
Subnet Mask
: Subnet mask is a network par ameter which defines a range of IP addresses that can be used in a network. If IP address is like a street where you live then subnet mask is like a neighborhood. The subnet address als o consists of four groups of numbers, separated by periods. For example, “255.255.000.000”.
Gateway
: This address allows the N VR to access the Internet. The format of the
Gateway
address is the same as the
IP Address
. For example, “192.168.0 01. 001”.
DNS1/DNS2
: DNS1 is the primary DNS server and DNS2 is a backup DNS server. Usually should
be enough just to enter the D NS 1 ser ver address.
Port
Web Port:
This is the port that you will use to log in remotely t o t he N V R (e.g. using the Web
Client). If the default port 80 is already taken by other applicat ion s , ple as e change it.
Client Port:
This is the port that the NVR will use to send informati on t hr ough (e.g. using the
mobile app). If the default port 9000 i s already taken by other applic at io ns, please change it.
RTSP Port:
This is the port that the NVR will be allowed to transm it r eal-time streaming to other
device (e.g. using a streaming Media player.).
UPNP:
If you want to log in remotely to t he N V R using Web Client, you need to complete the port forwarding in your router. Enable this option if your router supports the U Pn P. In this case, you do not need to configure manually port forwarding on your router. If your router does not support UPnP, make sure the port forwarding is com pleted manually in your router.
