4.3 NETWORK

The network settings control how the NVR communicates with your local network, the Internet and
the IP cameras. For most users, following the instructions in the Setup Wizard will establish a reliable
connection for remotely monitoring your system. The Remote Monitoring Setup poster provides
instructions for more complex network connections.
This section will cover the most important settings found in this window. Full, in-depth instructions on
connecting your system and troubleshooting most connectivity issues can be found in the Remote
Monitoring Guide found on the same CD as this manual.
Most of the settings found in this window will have been made automatically as the NVR connects to the
network. If you are not having issues connecting to your NVR remotely, or connecting to your cameras,
you should not make any changes in this window as it could cause loss of connection.

TCP/IP

• Transmission Control Protocol is one of the core Internet Protocols that determines how devices
communicate with each other.
• This window displays your NVR's IP address and other information which will be needed when remotely
logging into the NVR using the QC View mobile app, the Smart PSS software or web app
Use the IP Address when logging into your NVR over the Internet or away from your local network.
Use the WAN IP Address when logging into your NVR on the same network.
• The DHCP box should remain checked unless you are setting up a static IP address. This is covered
on the Remote Monitoring Setup poster.

PORTS

Ports are the "doorways" through which data
travels to and from the NVR.
Max Connection - Your NVR will support up to
20 remote connections. You can reduce this
number if desired.
TCP Port, HTTP Port - If you are experiencing
problems with connecting your NVR to the
Internet, it is likely because there are other
devices on your network that use one of
these two port numbers. Check the Remote
Monitoring Setup poster or Remote
Monitoring Guide for instructions on how to
correct the situation.

PPPOE

This is for use only with a dial-up modem. You will
need to contact your Internet Service Provider for
the correct information to enter into this window.

DDNS

This feature allows you to utilize an easy-to-
remember web-style address to log into your NVR
rather than the IP address.
