4.1.2 Network Configuration
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 NVR. Unless the network is manually addressed
below parameters:
IP Address: The IP address identifies the NVR in the network. It consists of four groups of numbers
between 0 to 255, separated by periods. For example, “192.168.1.100”.
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”.

14 English
Gateway: This address allows the NVR to access the Internet. The format of the Gateway address is
the same as the IP Address. For example, “192.168.001.001”.
IPv6 Address: Input the IPv6 address you got from your ISP.
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.
Port
Web: This is the port that you will use to log in remotely to the NVR (e.g. using the Web Client). If the
default port 80 is already taken by other applications, please change it.
Client: This is the port that the NVR 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: This is the port that the NVR will be allowed to transmit real-time streaming to other device
(e.g. using a streaming Media player.).
Https: This is the port that you will use to log in remotely to the NVR by browsers with https protocol.
Internal Port: Used for LAN connection.
External Port: Used for WAN / Internet connection.
UPNP: If you want to log in remotely to the NVR 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.
Mapping Strategy: If you want the port randomly distributed by the router UPNP server, choose
“Auto”; If you want to manually forwarded the port, choose “Manual”.
