5.1 Smart Setup - Network
Setting your recorder up on a network will allow you to remotely monitor the recorder
from a PC, tablet or mobile phone once either
P2P setup or port forwarding
has been configured. You can also connect to IP cameras on the same network.
Your recorder should be plugged in to a network or router before you make changes
in this section. The smart setup wizard allows you to configure a local connection,
DNS, ports, PPPoE and 3G dongles. These settings can be set at a later stage as
explained in the
Network Menu - Genreal section.
Local Connection Settings
Selecting DHCP the easiest way to complete this section as it will allow the network
to automatically set the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, IPv6 address and IPv6
gateway.
Once the network parameters have been set, deselect DHCP to lock in the
credentials and to prevent the network re-assigning them in the future. These
credentials are what the software and apps use when looking for the recorder over
the internet so if they change the software wont be able to find the recorder.
If you know what credentials you wish to use, such as a static IP address, you can de-
select DHCP and enter them manually.
DNS Settings
Selecting DHCP under Local Connection will automatically assign the DNS
addresses from the router. This is usually the service provider's DNS address. DNS2
is automatically assigned as 8.8.8.8 which is Google's primary DNS address.
