netWork setup - remote access
Use the NETWORK SETUP menu to configure your network and DNS settings for remote access. If you are only going to access
the DVR locally from a computer attached to the same router as the DVR, you only
need to configure settings using either the DHCP or STATIC IP. Because you are on
the same network, port forwarding and knowing the public IP address are not
necessary. You will just access the DVR by entering the IP address of the DVR from
the NETWORK setup into the Internet Explorer browser window. If you are going to
take advantage of the Remote Surveillance feature, such as for a smart phone or to
view your system outside of your network over the internet you will need to review
and set up Port Forwarding and the DDNS. After you setup the NETWORK settings
using DHCP , STATIC IP or DDNS, see the REMOTE SURVEILLANCE section for
further instructions.
There are five options for configuring the DVR to be accessed remotely: DHCP,
Static IP, UPnP, PPPOE, and DDNS. To access this menu, from the MAIN MENU
click ADVANCED then NETWORK SETUP. Be sure your router or network is con-
nected to the LAN port on the back of the DVR.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP is a protocol used by networked devices (clients) to obtain various parameters necessary for the clients to operate in an
Internet Protocol (IP) network. It allows you to quickly connect to your network and obtain an IP address from the router. After
the initial setup, we recommend that you disable DHCP, then select STATIC from the TYPE drop down box and set the IP address
between 1~100. For example, if your IP address is 192.168.0.107, change the last digits to 90 (i.e. 192.163.0.90). This ensures that
port forwarding will not change in the event of power failure or resetting of your network.
To configure DHCP settings:
1. Select DHCP from the TYPE drop down box in the NETWORK SETUP Menu. You should see the message “Getting IP...”
The router will assign an IP address. This is the IP address you will forward port 80 to on the router so you can access the
DVR from remote computers See comment above to configure a static IP.
2. Click APPLY. Click OK in the confirmation window.
3. If necessary, change the Media and Web Port settings
Static IP
You will need to setup the network settings on the DVR to match the settings of the router to which your DVR is connected. This
information can be obtained through your computer. Windows 7, Vista or XP all have similar ways to access this data.
To get the router settings:
1. To access the router’s settings you will need to enter the Command (CMD) panel on your computer. It must be connected
to the same router as your DVR.
• In Windows 7 or Vista, from the “START” menu type “CMD” in the field that says, “Search programs and files” and hit
ENTER or click on the magnifying glass icon.
• In Windows XP select “Run” from the “START” menu. Type “CMD” after the prompt
2. Type “ipconfig” at the prompt and hit enter
3. You will get a screen that contains information similar to what is shown below. Within all of the information shown,
locate the IPv4, Subnet Mask and Gateway addresses. These you will enter into the STATIC IP screen in the NETWORK
SETTINGS menu in your DVR. See next step.

Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) Setup Continued:
In the PTZ Senior Control screen you can set or control the following for each PRESET defined:
1. SET PRESET: Saves any PRESET functions changed with this screen.
2. CLEAN PRESET: Clears a defined PRESET without going to the SET CRUISE screen.
3. CALL PRESET: Calls a defined PRESET without going to the SET CRUISE screen.
4. AUTO SCAN: Enables AUTO SCAN feature without going through Quick Access Menu.
5. STOP SCAN: Enables AUTO SCAN feature without going through Quick Access Menu.
6. CRUISE SETTING: Configures the Cruise Setting. See next step for details.
Step 4: Configure the CRUISE SETTING of your PTZ Camera.
This feature allows you to set up a series of Pan, Tilt and Hold camera sequences and then
execute those operations in a continuous loop. This is useful when you want to record or
view the same set of pre-determined areas. You can customize these settings for each PTZ
camera connected to your DVR.
Understanding the CRUISE SETTING Options:
To access this menu In Live View, double click on the Channel with the connected PTZ
Camera to open to full screen view. From the Quick Access Menu select PTZ. Click SETUP
from the PTZ SETUP screen and you will see the PTZ SENIOR CONTROL Menu. Click SET
CRUISE to configure the cruise settings for your PTZ Camera.
1. TOTAL: The total number of PRESET’s defined
2. PRESET: A defined pan, tilt and hold sequence. You can enter up to 128 PRESET’s for a
channel depending on how many areas you want to view or record.
3. STOP TIME: The total time in seconds for the camera to move through its defined
operation. Note: This includes travel time from the previous set point completion plus the length of time you want the camera
to hold on a position. For example, if the STOP TIME is set to 10 seconds and the travel time from the previous set point is
6 seconds, then the camera will hold on the position for only 4 seconds. It can take some trial and error to get the timing you
want. To help fine tune your timing after a set point is defined, selecting CALL will travel through the complete cruise setting
for the PRESET allowing you to adjust your timing.
4. SET: Stores the PRESET in memory
5. CLEAR: Removes the defined pan, tilt and hold sequence for a PRESET.
6. APPLY: Saves all PRESETS defined.
How to define a Cruise Setting PRESET
1. With your PTZ Channel selected and the CRUISE SETTING menu open as explained in the previous sections, be sure TOTAL
is 0 and you are on PRESET 001. If not click CLEAR to reset the PRESET’s.
2. Using the Arrow Keys adjust the camera to the first position you want to monitor.
3. Set the STOP TIME setting using the Virtual Keypad. (See STOP TIME explanation above for important information)
4. Click SET to save. The TOTAL and PRESET numbers move to the next number.
5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each PRESET you want to define.
6. Click APPLY to save all PRESETS for this CRUISE SETTING.
7. Follow the same steps above to configure other PTZ cameras on other Channels.
8. Click EXIT several times to get to the Live View screen
9. Use the Quick Access Menu to select START CRUISE and STOP CRUISE to begin or end Cruise operation for all defined PTZ
channels.
