Network: General
Network Access:
You can select between three different network types
that your NVR can be connected to. The three types are -
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol):
This is a system where
your router will automatically assign an IP address to each device con-
nected to your network.
Static:
This requires that all devices on your network have their IP ad-
dress manually defined.
PPPoE:
An advanced protocol that allows your NVR to be directly con-
nected to a DSL modem.
IP Address:
Each device on your network must have a unique IP address
to identify itself. A typical address might be “192.168.1.24” or something
similar.
Subnet Mask:
This allows the flow of network traffic between hosts to be
segregated based on a network configuration. A typical address might
be “255.255.255.0” or something similar.
Default Gateway:
This allows your NVR to connect to the Internet. This
is typically the same IP address as your modem or router.
Auto DNS/Static DNS:
Select how would like to define your DNS servers.
It’s recommended to leave this on auto.
MAC Address:
Is a unique identifier for network devices. Can also be
used as a super password if you have forgotten your current password.

As SwannLink Peer-
to-Peer technology is
utilised to communi-
cate with your network
and mobile device,
configuration of the
network settings is not
required. If you have
networking expertise
and require specific
settings for your net-
work, your NVR does
have the ability to
change them.
