For
experienced
installers
Configure the DVR as follows:
a. It is assumed you have a PC working on Broadband Internet.
b. Check IP address in P.C and record IP Address, Subnet Mask & Gateway Address.
Example: IP Address
192.168.1
.10 Subnet:
255.255.255
.000
Gateway:
192.168.1
.1
c. Connect LAN cable from router to DVR.
d. Assign DVR a private IP address Example :
192.168.001
.108
You need to assign the DVR an IP address similar to PC. The IP address you assign
must be unique but the first three levels must match your local network. When
configuring the DVR’
s IP address information, the version of firmware within the
units may display the IP addresses differently. For simplicity 192.168.1.108 may
have to be configured as 192.168.001.108
1. Enter the DVR Menu – Go to Settings > Network
2. Enter Network menu
3. SET IP ADDRESS (see above), Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.000 (example),
GATEWAY 192.168.1.1 (example - Router local address), Service Port 37777,
HTTP Port 80, Protocol TCP and Max Connections 10 and press SAVE.
4. EXIT MENU.
5. Now turn Router off and on. This will take about one minute to reset.
6. Your DVR is now ready for access via the local PC using the Client or Sight Boss
Software.
7. Refer to your modem/router manual for instructions on how to configure it to allow
incoming Internet access.
8. If you fail to access DVR check all steps again.
