Figure 7. The playlist is available from the local network.
Figure 7 shows the playlist URL for third-party players. This playlist file is accessible from the local network only.
Click on the
icon to copy the playlist URL and then open a video player and paste this URL.
Figure 8. The playlist is available from the remote network.
If the device is accessible from the remote network you will see a playlist link with an external IP address in
the next configuration interface table as shown in figure 8. Make sure your router is set up properly to access the
playlist and video stream. If your router supports UPnP remote access can be managed as described in section
5.5.2.
NOTE: if you make changes in the playlist configuration window, you also must download the updated playlist
file and import it into the video player that you are using.
5.4 Recordings
Before using the device video recording feature you must configure the storage where video records will be
stored. Then create a record schedule.
5.4.1 Storage
Storage settings let you choose the type of storage between the USB and network drive. “Status” shows the
mounting status of the drive. If the disk is mounted, the free disk space that will be used for recordings will be
displayed. If the USB option is selected, a list of available USB partitions will be displayed. See Figure 9.
Figure 9. Storage configuration.
If the storage type is a network drive, the “Network drive address” field must specify the full path to the drive.
The domain name is not supported in this field. The address must begin with // characters, followed by the IP
address. If the drive requires a username and password add them to the appropriate fields. Otherwise, leave
these fields blank. Make sure the connection to the network drive is stable throughout the connection. Otherwise,
the recording process of the unit may deteriorate.
The “Keep records for” option specifies how long the records will be stored. They will be deleted automatically
after the specified time.
The device will create a “records” folder in the storage and all records will be stored there. Switching drives
between devices will automatically detect previously recorded TV programs.
5.4.2 Recording schedule
The schedule has two different options – one-time and weekly recording. Figure 10 shows both cases.
