5www.Observint.com

a. It is preferred to have xed network settings instead of dynamic settings, however. To change from dynamic network settings

to xed settings, copy the settings found through DHCP for the Local Connection and DNS, uncheck the DHCP select box

near the top of the menu, then re-enter the DHCP Local Connection and DNS settings. You can also enter your own network

settings for the recorder (these must be compatible with other devices on the LAN). If you choose to enter your own network

parameters, consider the following:

IP Address: The IP address identies the DVR 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 denes 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 DVR 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.

b. You can also congure the ports the DVR. If you need to change the port numbers of your DVR, consider the following:

Web Port: This is the port that you will use to log in remotely to the DVR (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 DVR 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 DVR will be allowed to transmit real-time streaming to other device (e.g. using a streaming

Media player.).

HTTPS: HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol over which data is sent between your browser and the website that

you are connected to. If you want to log in remotely to the NVR using Web Client, you need to complete the port forwarding in

your router. The default port number is 0443.

5. Repeat the pattern you entered, and then click Apply to save the conguration. The conguration Wizard initial screen will open.

Using the Wizard for initial conguration
