Locating the Unit IP address
The unit is configured using on-board webpages. This can be done remotely once the unit has
been installed in its chosen location, using the web browser on a PC in the same subnet as the unit.
The unit configuration pages can be accessed using the unit IP address or DNS name. The unit has
DHCP factory enabled. When the unit is connected to a DHCP network for the first time, an IP
address is automatically assigned by the network switch or router it is connected to. Most routers
will have the facility to enable DHCP and DNS. If it is not available, contact your network
administrator.
The default DNS address for each unit is factory set as the serial number. This address can be
found on the serial label on the unit or on the packaging the unit came in.
The DNS or IP address can be typed directly into the address bar of a web browser.
Note:
The unit’s DNS address can be changed subsequently to something more memorable or
meaningful than its serial number by editing the System name option in the System configuration
page.
DHCP IP Address configuration
If a permanent IP address is not assigned to the unit, it will attempt to contact the DHCP server
every time it starts up, and periodically thereafter.
Accessing the Configuration Pages
The NVR is configured using the on-board configuration pages.
To access these:
1.
Launch a web browser, preferably on a PC on the same subnet as the unit.
