IP Mode: Static vs. DCHP
A DCHP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) address is the most common setup for home or office networks. This allows the DVR to automatically
receive an IP address from the router. By default the IP MODE should be set to DHCP and this is acceptable in most situations.
A static IP is one that does not change. Static IP addresses are manually assigned by an administrator. Most home or office networks today do not
use a static IP addresses. If you are unsure of whether you need a static or dynamic IP address, please contact the person who setup your network or
your internet service provider (ISP).
To Change from Static to DCHP Addresses:
1. Under IP Mode, use the mouse wheel or directional keys to change from
DCHP to STATIC.
2. Press Menu or select the to exit the Network Setup Menu or press
the Menu button.
3. Press Menu or select the to exit the Main Menu and save your
settings.
The DVR may take a few moments to load the settings.
HTTP Port: Refers to the port that your DVR will use to communicate with your network and the Internet. This port is required to be entered at the
end of the IP address to connect to the DVR. (Ex. If using port 2000 and the IP address is 192.168.1.103 you would type
http://192.168.1.103:2000 in the address bar of I.E.) If using port 80 your Internet browser will automatically add it in at the end of the
address, even though it may not be visible.
IPADDR: (IP ADDRESS). The numbers here represent the internal IP address of your DVR. If your DVR is not properly connected to the router, the
address will appear as 0.0.0.0. To find you DVR’s IP address, make sure that it is connected to your router and reset the power on the DVR.
The internal IP address is the most important number on the Network Setup Menu screen.
Netmask: (Subnet Mask): The subnet mask is used for identifying the subnetwork the DVR is connected to. There is no need to adjust this number
for general network setup. Usually the netmask is 255.255.255.0.
Gateway: (Default Gateway): In computer networking, a default gateway is the device that passes traffic from the local subnet to devices on other
subnets. There is no need to adjust this number for general network setup. Generally this is the IP address of your router.
DNS 1: (Domain Name System): For advanced network setup. DNS is used to convert common names into website IP Addresses.
DNS2: For advanced network setup. DNS is used to convert common names into website IP Addresses.

DDNS: (Dynamic Domain Name Service) This Menu option allows you to set up a common name for the DVR instead of an IP address. This feature
is used if you have a Dynamic IP address from your ISP and the IP address is constantly changing.
