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

222

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.
 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.

The single network adapter interface is shown as in Figure 4-120 and the dual network adapters interface
is shown as in Figure 4-121.

 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.

/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.

Dahua 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 Dahua DDNS works with the
device from the manufacturer so that it can add the extension function.

2) Function Introduction

The Dahua 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 Dahua DDNS, you need to enable this service and set proper server address, port value
and domain name.

 Server address：www.dahuaddns.com
 Port number：80
 Domain name：There 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

238

the device IP.
 User name: It is optional. You can input your commonly used email address.

Important

 Do not register frequently. The interval between two registrations shall be more than 60 seconds. Too

many registration requests may result in server attack.
 System may take back the domain name that is idle for one year. You can get a notification email

before the cancel operation if your email address setup is OK.

5 Web Operation

5.1 General Introduction

The device web provides channel monitor menu tree, search, alarm setup, system setup, PTZ control and
monitor window and etc.

Important
The following operation is based on 32-channel series device.

5.1.1 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.

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 considers 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 registration interface (Chapter 5.8.1.1). 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
registration 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>.

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.

283

Input IP
address here.

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.

5.1.2 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 5-1.

System pops up warning information to ask you whether install Web plug-in or not. Please click yes
