By default, the recorder is set to obtain IP address from DHCP server,
it should be sufficient in most network environments, and most likely
you should not need to alter anything in this page. To locate the re-
corder, simply use the NVR search utility with steps described in page
12.
If you wish to set the recorder to use a static IP address in your local
area network,
1. Choose “Static IP” from the “Connection Type” drop-down menu
2. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway address and
DNS server address for the recorder
3. Enable “DHCP Server” under “DHCP Server” if you wish to use the
recorder as a DHCP server, or leave it disabled if there is already a
DHCP server in the network
4. Click Apply for the settings to take effect
The recorder can detect
the presence of a DHCP
server upon startup. It
sets itself to use static
IP address if there is no
DHCP server currently
presented in the network.
Its DHCP server func-
tion is also turned on at
the same time to assign
IP addresses to cameras
that are later connected
to the network
o You can manually turn
off the DHCP server func-
tion if you wish to use a
separate DHCP server
Change the recorder’s IP address would require the recorder to restart.
Restart the device under “system Options” >> “Maintenance” for the
settings to take effect.
