.
4. Click Apply for the settings to take effect.
The recorder can detect the presence of a DHCP server upon startup. It sets itself to use static IP
address if there is no DHCP server currently presented in the network. Its DHCP server function is also
turned on at the same time to assign IP addresses to cameras that are later connected to the network.
You can manually turn off the DHCP server function if you wish to use a separate DHCP server.
Changing the recorder’s IP address would require the recorder to restart.
Restart the device under “system Options” >> “Maintenance” for the settings to take effect.
The built-in DHCP Server function is NOT always configurable and is greatly dependent on the
connection type that is set to use in "Device Network Setting":
1. If the connection type is "Auto Mode", the DHCP server function will NOT be configurable. It will be
ON if the NVR doesn't obtain an IP from a DHCP server on the local network and uses its own default
static IP 192.168.0.20.
2. If the connection type is "Auto Mode", the DHCP server function will NOT be configurable. It will be
OFF if the NVR obtains an IP from a DHCP server on the local network.
3. If the connection type is "DHCP Client", the DHCP server function will NOT be configurable. It will be
OFF if the NVR obtains an IP from a DHCP server on the local network.
4. If the connection type is "DHCP Client", the DHCP server function will NOT be configurable. It will be
ON if the NVR doesn't obtain an IP from a DHCP server on the local network and uses its own default
static IP 192.168.0.20.
5. If the connection type is "Static IP", the DHCP server function will be configurable and can be turned
on/off manually.
