If you connect to a router allows to use DHCP, please check the DHCP box. The router will
assign automatically all the network parameters for your DVR. Unless the network is
manually addressed below parameters:
IP Address: The IP address identifies the DVR in the network. It consists of four groups
of numbers between 0 to 255, separated by periods. For example, “192.168.001.100”.
Subnet Mask: Subnet mask is a network parameter 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 also consists of four groups of numbers,
separated by periods. For example, “255.255.000.000”.
Gateway: This address allows the DVR to access the Internet. The format of the Gateway
address is the same as the IP Address. For example, “192.168.001.001”.
DNS1/DNS2: DNS1 is the primary DNS server and DNS2 is a backup DNS server.
Usually should be enough just to enter the DNS1 server address

Web Port: This is the port that you will use to log in remotely to the DVR (e.g. using the Web
Client). If the default port 80 is already taken by other applications, please change it.
Client Port: This is the port that the DVR will use to send information through (e.g. using
the mobile app). If the default port 9000 is already taken by other applications, please
change it.
RTSP Port: This is the port that the DVR will be allowed to transmit real-time streaming to
other device (e.g. using a streaming Media player.).
UPNP: If you want to log in remotely to the DVR using Web Client, you need to complete
the port forwarding in your router. Enable this option if your router supports the UPnP.
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 completed
manually in your router.

Remote Access via Web Client
Use the Web Client to remotely access your DVR at anytime via a PC. Before you access the
Web Client, you need to ensure that the network settings of the DVR are configured
properly. The most convenient and easiest way is if you have set the DVR a static IP address . It
means you only need to open the web browser on your PC and type in the static IP address you
have set on the DVR. However, if the IP address of the DVR is assigned by a DHCP server , then
it means that each time you reboot the DVR, the IP address changes. In this case, ask if your ISP
can provide you a static IP address. If not, then configure the DDNS service. Also, please make
sure the UPnP is configured in the DVR and router, or the manual port
forwarding is completed in the router.
You will need to install the plug-in if this is the first time you connect to your DVR
via IE, Google Chrome, Firefox, or Mac Safari.
