5.1 Camera Setup This DVR systemsupports up to 9 cameras. You can
configure which cameras are displayed or not displayed
in real-time monitoring.
Press [▲, ▼, and ]buttons to select a channel,
and then press [SEL] to modify the setting to be ON or
OFF.
5.2 Record Setup
Configure which channel is allowed to record. Press [▲,
▼, and ]buttons to select a channel, and then
press [SEL] to modify the setting to be ON or OFF.
5.3 Record Frame rate The total frame rate is 50fps (PAL)/ 60fps (NTSC). You
can set the frame rate for the channel which you selected
to record. If the sum of the frame rate you select for all
cameras is more than 50fps (PAL)/ 60fps(NTSC), the
DVR will automatically adjust the largest frame rate value
to a smaller value.
Press [▲, ▼, and ] buttons to select a channel,
and then press [SEL] to increase the value or press
[■STOP] to reduce the value.
The higher frame rate used to record，the more natural the
movement will appear during play back, but more
hard drive disk space will be needed to save the recorded video.

\High\Normal\Low
The higher the video quality, the clearer the image will be
during playback. The lower the video quality, the more
space you will save on the hard drive
The video quality in view mode is not affected by the
video quality setting; these settings only affect the video
quality during playback of a recording.
5.5 Record Schedule The time line indicates the hours of the day based on an
AM/PM clock. For each hour, you may select between

[NOTE] You must press the “REC” button to record in these three modes.
5.6 Sensor Setup
[Note] Sensors and extension alarms do not come with the DVR system; you need to buy them separately.
SENSORED RECORD TIME and ALARM ON TIME are measured in seconds.
SENSORED RECORD TIME: This indicates the length
of time the system records after a motion or sensor
triggered event ends. (Time: 5,10,15,20,25,30)
ALARM ON TIME: This selection indicates how many
seconds the buzzer inside the DVR or extension alarm
sounds after a motion or sensor triggered event ends.

5.8.7 Password Enable
When password enable is “ON”to stop recording or
enter menu you will need password. If password enable
is “OFF”there’s no need to enter a password when you
do any operation on the DVR.
5.8.8 VGA Setup
The DVR supports 800x600 (60HZ),1024X768 (60HZ) and 1280x1024 (60HZ) VGA resolutions. Please set it to
the right value for your monitor.
5.9 Network Setup
Use the “▲” and “▼” buttons to move the cursor to the other items in the NETWORK SETUP menu
MAC ADDRESS: In a local area network (LAN) the
MAC (Media Access Control) address is your
computer’s unique hardware identity code. (On an
Ethernet LAN it is the same as your Ethernet
address.)When you are connected to the Internet from
your computer (or host as the Internet protocol thinks of
it ) a corresponding table relates your IP address to your
computer’s physical (MAC) address on the LAN.
[Important]: It only needs to change while two DVR’s are in your local network and the first code “00”
must not be changed.
IPALLOCATION: The DVR supports DHCPand Static
IP modes. If using DHCP(Dynamic Host Configure
Protocol) mode you must have a DHCP server in your
LAN, otherwise DVR can not get an IP address
automatically. If using STATIC mode you should set IP
address, sub mask and gateway manually for the DVR.

[NOTE]You need to adjust the IPADDRESS, SUBNET MASK and GATEWAY value, only when the
[STATIC] mode is used.
IPADDRESS: Set the IP address of the DVR manually to
match the work with your router. The DVR’s IP address
must be the same as the gateway. The last set of numbers
has to be different then any other device attached to the
router.
SUBNETMASK: This refers to a subnet mask used to
determine what subnet an IPaddress belongs to. A number
that is used to identify a sub network so that IP addresses
can be recognized on a local area network. It should be
the same as the router’s subnet
GATEWAY: In enterprises the gateway is the computer that
routes the traffic from a workstation to the outside network
that is serving the Web pages. In homes the gateway is
usually housed at the ISP. The gateway address is provided
by your ISP. If you have the DVR attached to a router then
the router’s address will be the gateway.

LAN-DVR Connection
See the diagram below for steps to connect your DVR to a local area network or the Internet. For remote
monitoring from your computer you must have a LAN connection available or Internet access service.
Suitable network routers and switches are available in electronics retail stores from Netgear, D-Link, or
Linksys.
You need to register a www.dyndns.com to get a free account if you want to use a domain name instead of a
dynamic address .After registration you will have a username and password. You can also register your domain
name on the website. Please refer to Chapter 5, P. Network Setup for more details. There you will learn how to
input the DDNS username, password, and domain name. You can log in from anywhere by using Internet Explorer
and entering your DVR’s domain name.
DDNS SETUP：First, create an account at
www.dyndns.com and apply for a hostname for your
DVR. Second, fill in the info that the DVR needs.
[Note] This is an option you can use instead of using
a static address to access the DVR.You need to have
a computer attached to the same router as the DVR
and it always needs to be on.

Accessing the DVR over a network
To access the DVR through a computer you need to make sure the default gateway on theDVR is
the same IP address as your router, and the first three sets of numbers of the DVR IP address are the
same as the first three sets of numbers of router’s address. Example: if your router’s default gateway
is 192.168.1.1 then the default gateway setting in the DVR should be 192.168.1.1, and the first three
sets of numbers on the DVR's IP address should be 192.168.1. The last set of numbers has to be
different then those on any other devices attached to the router to avoid conflicts. The subnet on
the DVR also needs to be the same as the router, example: if the subnet on the router is
255.255.255.0 the subnet on the DVR needs to be 255.255.255.0. To get the default gateway and
subnet of the router, on a computer that is attached to the same router as the DVR, click on the start
button, then click on run, then enter cmd into the dialog box and click on OK. At the curser type
ipconfig, the default gateway and subnet will be displayed.
To access the DVR through Internet Explorer: Once you have set up the network settings on the
DVR to match the settings of your router, you need to modify your browser controls. You need to
allow Pop-ups. To do so go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the "tools" option, then select
the "Pop up Blocker" option and select "Turn Off Pop-up Blocker.” You will also need to enable
Active X controls. To do so go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the "tools" option, then
"Internet Options", then "Security", then click the "Custom Level" button, and make sure the Active
X Controls and Plug Ins are set to prompt or enabled. To connect to the DVR from the computer
you would then open an internet browser window and enter the gateway IP of your router. You will
get a login screen were you will need to enter your user name and password (admin and 111111 by
default). The first time you connect a webcam program will be downloaded to your system and you
may get a message that an ActiveX control on the page may be unsafe but it is ok to click the Yes
option to download the control and program since you have requested the program.
Accessing the DVR from a remote computer
To access the DVR from a remote computer, in addition to the above steps, you will also need to
forward port 80 on the router the DVR is attached to, to the IP address of the DVR. (This port can
be changed if the port is currently being used by another program.) How you would do this depends
on the brand and model number of your router. You can go to www.portforward.com to get
instructions on how to forward ports on most popular routers. To access your router's program you
would open an internet browser window and type the default gateway of the router into the address
bar at the top of the window. Then follow the instructions for your router.
