   Click the Start Wizard to proceed to the next step

2. Network Configuration

If you connect to a router allows to use DHCP, please check the DHCP box. The router will assign automatically all the network parameters for your NVR. Unless the network is manually addressed below parameters:
IP Address: The IP address identifies the NVR in the network. It consists of four groups of numbers between 0 to 255, separated by periods. For example, “192.168.001.100”.
Subnet Mask: Subnet mask is a network parameter which defines a range of IP addresses that can be used in a network. If IP address is like a street where you live then subnet mask is like a neighborhood. The subnet address also consists of four groups of numbers, separated by periods. For example, “255.255.000.000”.
Gateway: This address allows the NVR to access the Internet. The format of the Gateway address is the same as the IP Address. For example, “192.168.001.001”.
DNS1/DNS2: DNS1 is the primary DNS server and DNS2 is a backup DNS server.
Usually should be enough just to enter the DNS1 server address

Port
Web Port: This is the port that you will use to log in remotely to the NVR (e.g. using the Web Client). If the default port 80 is already taken by other applications, please change it.
Client Port: This is the port that the NVR will use to send information through (e.g. using the mobile app). If the default port 9000 is already taken by other applications, please change it.
RTSP Port: This is the port that the NVR will be allowed to transmit real-time streaming to other device (e.g. using a streaming Media player.).
UPNP: If you want to log in remotely to the NVR using Web Client, you need to complete the port forwarding in your router. Enable this option if your router supports the UPnP. In this case, you do not need to configure manually port forwarding on your router. If your router does not support UPnP, make sure the port forwarding is completed
manually in your router.
PPPoE

Remote Access via Web Client

Use the Web Client to remotely access your NVR at anytime via a PC. Before you access the Web Client, you need to ensure that the network settings of the NVR are configured properly. The most convenient and easiest way is if you have set the NVR a static IP address . It means you only need to open the web browser on your PC and type in the static IP address you have set on the NVR. However, if the IP address of the NVR is assigned by a DHCP server , then it means that each time you reboot the NVR, the IP address changes. In this case, ask if your ISP can provide you a static IP address. If not, then configure the DDNS service. Also, please make sure the UPnP is configured in the NVR and router, or the manual port forwarding is completed in the router.
You will need to install the plug-in if this is the first time you connect to your NVR via IE, Google Chrome, Firefox, or Mac Safari.
