Auto Private IP Setup (NAT Traversal): The UPnP NAT Traversal function will help to setup the DVR to connect to the internet via a
router.
When a PC connects to a DVR that is not in the same local area network, a real IPO Address and corresponding Port Number is
required. However, if the DVR is behind a router, the PC and DVR will communicate through the router. To view images from the
DVR on your PC, the router will need to setup Port Mapping (Port Forwarding).
When UPnP NAT Traversal Function is enabled, the DVR will set the router automatically. To do this, check the [AUTO IP (NAT
TRAVERSAL)] box in the [UPnP] Menu.
Note
The system transfers video images at real-time over the network even during no record.
For example, user can monitor live video even when motion has not occurred during motion detection mode.
Note
If there is no physical network connection, it may take a few minutes for the system to start working, since the network
configuration in DHCP mode and the DHCP connection cannot be made.
Note
The maximum number of simultaneous connection is 10 users for each DVR
using PC or Mac and 5 users
using Mobile devices.
