4.1.1 Start Wizard
Click the Start Wizard to proceed to the next step
4.1.2 Network Conguration
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”.

10
4 DVR Starting UP
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.
PPPoE
This is an advanced protocol that allows the DVR to connect to the network more directly via DSL modem.
Check the “Enable PPPOE” box, and then enter the User name & Password of the PPPoE.
