Sketch
Configuration
Setting up the camera as a "repeater":
You can set up the cameras as "repeaters" (bridging the radio signal).
Follow these steps before mounting the cameras, placing the cameras close to
the recorder ready for use and considering which camera to use as a repeater.
You can switch a maximum of 3 cameras in a row as a repeater.
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure the cameras are connected (12V) and they receive a signal.
2. In the video window, press the right mouse button and click on the "Manage
Video" menu.
3. Click on the new menu item "Repeater".
Here you can set up the camera as a "bridge" of the radio signal. All green lines from the
DVR are within reach. The red lines indicator that the radio signal is out of range. Try to
find a closer mounting location to get a sufficient signal from the camera.

Step 5
In this window you can set how your recorder should save a recording. Here you have the option to
save images after a preset time or motion pictures.
You can individually adjust each channel if you want the same settings for all channels, configure the
channel 1, choose from among weekday, for which day the recording is to be performed (Mo-Su or
all days) and then select the end under the menu "Copy" in "all".
In the function of the weekdays, we recommend that you set the setting to "daily". Now you have set
up a channel to your liking and have copied these settings to all other channels.
Note: By default, the DVR-638-2 / 634-2 "AMGoCam" is already preset to
Motion (motion detection) mode.
You can call up and adjust this menu again at any time via the main
menu.

Step 6
Here the basic settings for the network access are set. Here it is easiest to put a tick in
the DHCP field. It is automatically set by your DSL router now the IP address, you need
to do nothing more.
The recorder supports two network connection types:
DHCP: Here all network settings are automatically set by the DSL router (standard!).
Static IP: This point is only for savvy users who are familiar with manual network
configuration.
PPPoE: This function is not supported, a setting is not necessary here.
We recommend that you have at least a 16,000 mb / s line if you want to
connect the DVR to the network. This can lead to a deterioration of the
image quality during transmission.
Note:
The wireless LAN recorder can not be integrated into an existing WLAN network. Access
to the Internet must always be done via LAN cable from the wireless LAN recorder (WAN
port) to the router.
The cameras are connected to the recorder via the WLAN network and this refers to the
name "WLAN recorder".
Step 7
You can see the registered video cameras in
the menu (right mouse button "Manage
video"). As a rule, the available cameras
registered in the recorder should already be
displayed here.

To enable or disable motion detection for each channel, select the camera in the main
menu (Channel Settings Motion Detect). In this menu, please only change the entry
"Detection" if necessary. There are three different modes available here. By default, the
entry "Motion" should be set, this activates motion detection. Furthermore available are
"alarm input" and "video loss". If you want to turn off motion detection, you should
switch to Video Loss. With the button "Copy" you can accept the settings for all cameras
and do not have to configure each camera separately.
In the menu "Network settings" you can edit the network settings as described in step 6.
If you want to make the recorder available for the Internet, you have to check "DHCP or
P2P". Further settings for the menus "DDNS", "FTP", "PPPoE Ben.", "3G", "E-mail", "Wifi
Setup" are not necessary for the operation of the recorder and should under no
circumstances be changed.
We recommend that you do not change the default settings!
Note to FTP setting:
There is no general installation path for setting up the FTP access because it depends on
the particular device. For a proper setting of the FTP access, we therefore recommend to
get a specialist on site with good network knowledge.
If the cameras are set for motion detection and
should fire in the rain, lower the sensitivity.

A notification by e-mail depends on the provider, not every provider supports this
function of the recorder. The following menu shows you where which entries have to be
made. If necessary, you should leave these settings to a specialist.
Note for notification via SMS / MMS:
It is not possible to receive a notification via SMS or MMS on motion detection of the
camera.
Use our app "AMGoCam" for Android or IOS to access a live image.
In addition, with the app "AMGoCam" you have the possibility to record videos
directly on your smartphone / tablet and play them (regardless of the storage
of videos on the recorder).
Note:
There are no videos / pictures stored on the AMGoCam server (data protection). Only
videos or images are displayed that are stored on your DVR or smartphone. Here only
the assignment of the recorders (after recorder ID) to the IP addresses takes place.
For a notification via SMS, we recommend an additional alarm center that works
independently of the video system and sends an SMS.
Create another user
Under the menu System Admin User you can continue to create users for the DVR-638-
2 / 634-2 "AMGoCam", change individual authorizations or passwords. The DVR-638-2 /
634-2 "AMGoCam" can distinguish up to 12 users. By default, the user [admin] is already
defined - this can not be deleted.
