12.3 How to setup the Network step by step?
Decide your network environment
In Network setting, you can choose the connection type from Static, DHCP, or
PPPoE(which allow you to dial up by ADSL modem or 3G dongle). Below is an
explanation of how you can configure your DVR to fit your network environment.
43
12.3.1 Static
Each network device has its own IP address. An IP address is like a doorplate of the
device, helping data to be delivered to the correct destination. An IPv4 address
contains 32 bits, which are divided into four parts, each part separated by a dot, such
as 255.255.255.0.
The following three blocks of the IP address space are reserved for private Internets
(local networks):
• 10.0.0.0~10.255.255.255
• 172.16.0.0~172.31.255.255
• 192.168.0.0~192.168.255.255
In Static mode, you have to assign the IP address for each device (e.g. your DVR and
PC)

HUB/SWITCH/Router
(Small Office users)
Here is an example of how to set up connection between the DVR and your PC.
44
Step 1: Set your DVR network mode to static mode
1. Change the connection type to “STATIC” in DVR’s network setting
2. Assign the IP address to the DVR
Note: Be sure not to set up a duplicated IP address for the DVR. For example, if you
assign 192.168.0.100 to the PC, please change the IP address of the DVR to
192.168.0.101
3. Set the Netmask of the DVR: The address must be the same as the PC’s
setting.
4. Set the Gateway of the DVR: The address must be the same as the PC’s
setting.
Step 2: Modify your PC’s network setting to correspond to the DVR
For WINDOWS XP:
StartControl Panel Network and Internet ConnectionsNetwork Connections
Find your network adaptor and click the right button and choose “Properties”
45
Find “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and click the “Properties” to enter the setting menu
In the following menu, choose “Use the following IP address” to set up IP address
manually
1) Enter the IP address for your PC. Be sure not to set up a duplicated IP address
with any other network devices.
2) Enter Subnet mask address. This address should correspond to the Netmask
address of your DVR.
3) Enter Default gateway address. This address should correspond to the Gateway
address of your DVR.

Find Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) and click “Properties”
In the following menu, choose “Use the following IP address” to set up IP address
manually
48
1) Enter the IP address for your PC. Be sure not to set up a duplicated IP address
with any other network devices.
2) Enter Subnet mask address. This address should correspond to the Netmask
address of your DVR.
3) Enter Default gateway address. This address should correspond to the Gateway
address of your DVR.
12.3.2 DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns a valid IP
address to a network device on the Internet. Allocating a fixed IP address for each
device will result in idle IP addresses when the devices are not in operation. Therefore,
DHCP can make more efficient use of the IP addresses. To use this feature, you have
to have a PC or router to be set as DHCP server to provide the service.

after a period of time. If you want to assign a fixed IP address to the DVR, please
check with your MIS staff or the manual of the router.
12.3.3 PPPoE
PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a protocol that enables connections
between a DSL modem and the Internet. This service is provided by ISP (Internet
Service Provider).

12.5 DDNS Setup
DDNS: (Dynamic DNS). It is an service to provide the updating in real time of
Internet Domain Name System (DNS) name servers to keep up to date the active
DNS configuration of their configured hostnames, addresses and other information.
In DVR, you can apply a DDNS service for a dynamic IP address. This will help you to
use a fixed site address (such as name.idv) to find your DVR so you don’t have to
remember the floating IP address (such as 192.168.111.143)
To set up the DDNS service, click on “DDNS Setup” in Network setting menu
DDNS Setting menu
○
1DNS1&2: This is used for your DNS server. The default value is 168.095.192.001
