2 LAN ports while smaller networks only need 1 LAN port .
1 . Go to Preview/Start/Guide and skip to the Network Setting screen . Click the dropdown arrow
for Network Card .
If only LAN1 displays, continue to Set Up IP Addresses - 1 LAN Port Only (see page 28) .
If both LAN1 and LAN2 display, go to Set up IP Addresses - 2 LAN Ports (see page 29) .
2 . If you have an NVR with a built in PoE switch but have only LAN1 as a programming option,
this means that the IP cameras and the NVR will have to all be in the same IP range, and all
the devices can be accessed remotely over the LAN .
SET UP IP ADDRESSES - 1 LAN PORT ONLY
1 . From System Setting/Network Parameter/Basic Setting tab, check Use Below IP Address . The
IP, Mask, and Gateway fields become active.
2 . Enter a static IP address as assigned by the owner or the IT Department . If your system is not
in the same IP range as other computers on the LAN, you will not be able to remotely connect
to the system .
3 . If given DNS1 and DNS2 settings, enter them in the section below the IP settings [required if
connecting to another device by name (not by IP address)], such as an FTP, SMTP, or NTP

6 . Once each device has an individual IP address, open a web browser on a remote computer or
device and access the IP cameras or the recorder .
7 . If a WiFi access point is connected to the LAN, connect the Uniden ProSeries Mobile app (or
via a web browser) to remotely access the recorder and cameras .
SET UP IP ADDRESSES - 2 LAN PORTS
Set up LAN1 first to connect to the LAN. Set up LAN2 next to connect the IP cameras via an
external network switch or an internal PoE switch .
SET UP IP CAMERAS
If you have an NVR with a built in PoE switch but only have LAN1 as a programming option,
this means that the IP cameras and the NVR will all have to be in the same IP range, and all the
devices can be accessed remotely over the LAN . Once each device has an individual IP address,
you can open a web browser on a remote computer or device and access the IP cameras or the

channel box on the right side of the screen . Click Add All from the left side of the screen .
Modify the IP address of IPC displays if needed
2 . Select Forced to modify IP address and click Confirm .
3 . System changes all of the cameras' IP addresses and adds them to the system.
ADDING IP CAMERAS
Cameras are normally assigned to LAN2 . However, camera assignmentss can also be split
between LAN1 and LAN2 . If your system is not equipped with LAN2, all cameras are assigned to
LAN1 .
1 . Go to Channel Setting/Channel Connecting . Check Modify the IP address when add channel
on the right side of the screen . Click Add All from the left side of the screen . Modify the IP
address of IPC displays if needed
2 . Select Forced to modify IP address and click Confirm .
1 . System changes all of the cameras' IP addresses and adds them to the system.
PREREQUISITES
• Static IP address in LAN1 (and LAN2 if equipped)
• Make sure your IPC's static IP address is in the same range as LAN2, if equipped. If you do not
have LAN2, then make sure the IPC range is the same as LAN1 on the system .
• Power up the recorder and select Channel Setting/Channel Connecting .
1 . Select search protocols and then click Search . Recorder scans the network for IPCs while a
countdown displays in the Search button . When done, a list of IPCs display below the Search
button .
2 . In the left column, put a check next to the cameras that you want to assign to a channel. Don't
