12.1- IP Settings
12.1.1- IP Assignment
Allows for configuration of the NVR
’s network settings for IP communication. We recommend that this
information is provided by the network administrator to avoid address conflicts with other devices on the
network.
Note: The IP settings received via DHCP will be displayed in all fields after selecting Static IP. These
settings should be changed to those assigned by the network administrator to ensure compatibility
and prevent conflicts with existing devices on the network.
IP Type
By Default the NVR are set to DHCP, which will pull network settings from the Router. We
recommend that static IP addresses are used to ensure that the NVR will remain
accessible during setup and use.
IP
Address
Current IP Address of the NVR. If DHCP is selected, this cannot be configured, and will
appear Grayed out.
Note: If a Static IP used it must be outside the DHCP range of the router to avoid
conflicts with other devices on the network.
Subnet
Mask
Usually 255.255.255.0 but dependent on the network. . Check with the network
administrator.
Gateway
This is usually the same address used to access the router. Check with the network
administrator.
DNS 0
As provided by the ISP/network administrator. If not known, the default Gateway can
usually be used.
DNS 1
As provided by the ISP/network administrator. If only one DNS address is known or
provided, enter “0.0.0.0”.

Port
Recommended Port Numbering
Each NVR must have a unique port number in order to access from outside the local
network. To make port numbering consistent, and easy to remember we recommend that
the ports be 4 digits, and contain the last octet of the IP address of the NVR preceded by
an 8. This will also ensure that a port that is commonly used for another well-known
service is not assigned to the NVR.
Example:
IP Address
Port
192.168.1.050 8050
192.168.1.100 8100
Note:
Accessing the NVR remotely requires additional configuration of other settings
See step
6-Configure NVR for Remote Access
in section
11-Additional Configuration
for details.
12.1.2- UPnP Port Forwarding
When enabled, allows for automatic configuration of UPnP Port forwarding with compatible routers.
Enabled
Select Enabled to allow the NVR to configure a compatible router’s port
forwarding via UPnP.
External HTTPS
Port
External network port to be configured by a compatible router to access the NVR
through HTTP.
