4 Channel Digital Video Recorder
Q. When the network connection between DVR and client computer is cut off, why does the DVR and
the clock stop?
A: In case the network is suddenly disconnected, the DVR will temporarily stop for 20 seconds without
response to any pressing of the front panel buttons. 20 seconds later, it will restore itself to normal, but
the icon that shows the network status will not disappear for 10 minutes. During this period the client
computer cannot connect to the DVR or enter the network menus.
Q. What HDD capacity does this DVR support?
A. Any capacity size of HDD is supported by the DVR, but if the size is larger than 300G, it may display
only 300G on the DVR monitor, but this does not affect the real HDD capacity installed in the DVR.
Q. How can I monitor the cameras on a Remote Computer?
A. IT expertise may be required for this setup. Plug an RJ45 cable from the back of the DVR to the
Switch/Hub or Router. The default network settings on this DVR are as follows:
IP Address: 192.168.1.167; Subnet: 255.255.255.0; Gateway: 192.168.1.1; Video Port: 5000; Command
Port: 5001.
From a PC connected to the same router, list the IP Address by typing IPCONFIG in the Command
Prompt: Start-Run-type in CMD, then type in IPCONFIG to list. Find out the IP, Gateway and Subnet.
If the IP is 192.168.1.xxx, then nothing else is needed. But if the IP is something like this:
192.168.0.xxx and Gateway: 192.168.0.1, then the IP of the DVR must be changed. Go to the SETUP
MODE menu and then to NETWORK SETUP and change the IP to 192.168.000.167 and Gateway to
192.168.000.001. Refer to the Router Manual to go to Router Setup and you need to do Port
Forwarding, which is Port 5000 and 5001, to the IP Address: 192.168.1.167 the IP of the DVR.
