8.8.8.8.
Secondary DNS: If DHCP is disabled, manually enter the secondary DNS address. The default secondary
DNS is 8.8.4.4.
TCP Port: Input the NVR TCP port number. The default port is 34567.

Make sure the NVR IP address and the router are in the same network segment. If the router IP address is
192.168.1.1, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, the NVR should work properly with default network
settings. Generally, the default gateway is the router IP address.
