DNS Server 1:
Displays the primary DNS server for your network. If DHCP is selected and an
internet connection is available, this value should be assigned automatically. This field must
have a valid DNS address in order to use the DDNS feature (see
7.3.7.5 DDNS
).
DNS Server 2:
This field shows the secondary DNS server for your network.
HTTP Port:
Port number for HTTP/WEB communication.
Bandwidth Limit (Kbps):
Specify, disabled / 128 K/ 256 K / 512 K / 768K / 1M / 3M bps. This is
the maximum bandwidth that the mobile DVR is allowed to use on the network. This is a useful
function when connecting the mobile DVR to busy or heavily loaded networks, or when
accessing the mobile DVR(s) over a WAN.

Additional information:
1.
Set up the mobile DVR Network Menu according to the instructions detailed in the
Networking chapter of this mobile DVR’s manual.
a.
If using DHCP, all settings will be detected automatically. While DHCP is a useful tool for
determining the network settings, if you set up your mobile DVR in this manner its IP
address may change at different times for different reasons, particularly after a power
failure. If the IP address of the mobile DVR changes, you may have difficulties accessing
your mobile DVR locally and/or remotely. It is strongly recommended that you assign a
fixed (static) IP address to your mobile DVR, and that in order to avoid address conflicts
the IP address assigned be outside of the DHCP range of addresses your router issues to
DHCP clients. Please do not set the DHCP address issued to the mobile DVR by the
router as its static IP address unless you take specific steps that program your router to
prevent such address conflicts.
b.
If using a Fixed IP (recommended), you will need to input the information manually. In
order for DDNS to work, you must enter valid data, compatible with your network, for
all four of the network setting fields: IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and the
DNS Address (depending on your network hardware and IP configuration this may be
the IP address of your router/gateway, or it may be the actual IP address of the local
DNS server). The DNS server IP is required because your DNS server provides critical
information necessary for the mobile DVR to communicate with the DDNS server.
You can obtain the actual DNS IP from your Internet Service Provider (ISP); or, from a PC
located on the same LAN as the mobile DVR, go to http://www.dnsserverlist.org/ to obtain a
list of the IP addresses of their recommendation of the best servers to use for your location.
