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).

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. 

 

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.
