NOTE: When only one unit of the DVR is connected to a computer or LAN, you can 

freely assign an IP address for the DVR. For example, there is a range of DVR IP 

addresses from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.255. You can pick one for use from the 

range of the IP. It’s not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the settings 

as default. 

When a DVR is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique, permanent IP 

address and correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings according to 

your network architecture. If you have any questions regarding those settings, 

please contact a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.   

 

NOTE: When connecting to a network, each connected DVR must be assigned a unique 

IP, which must be in the same class type as your network address. IP addresses 

are written as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example, 

192.168.0.1 Therefore, if the connected network is identified as Class C, for 

example, the first three sets of numbers of the DVR IP address must be the same 

as the network address. If the connected network is identified as Class B, the 

first two sets of numbers of the DVR IP address must be the same as the 

network address. If you have any questions regarding these settings, please 

contact a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
