Advanced Options
Note: Many of the following networking settings are not required when using
SwannLink P2P for remote access.
Option
DDNS
The place to configure the DVR to automatically update a dynamic
DNS service. DDNS is not required for SwannLink P2P remote
access. If you intend to access your DVR using older IP technology
you will need to configure this service. See "DDNS" on page 17
for details on setting up and configuring the DDNS.
NTP
Network Time Protocol. If the DVR is connected to the Internet,
you can have it automatically sync time with an online server. For
more information, see "NTP" on page 18.
Email
You can configure the DVR to work with an email account of your
Settings
choice. This must be correctly configured for the DVR's auto-email
feature to work. For more information, see "Email" on page 18.

Description
Option
IP Filter
An advanced feature which allows you to exercise precise control
over what devices/IP address(es) are allowed to communicate with
the DVR and which are not. Recommended for advanced users
only.
Server Port
The default value is 9000. This is the port number you'll use when
logging in over the Internet from the SwannView Link software or
remote access from a mobile device.
HTTP Port
This is the port through which you will be able to log in to the DVR
remotely from a remote PC via the HTTP interface. Like the server
port, it will need to be forwarded properly in order to ensure
smooth, latency-free communication. The default value is "85". If
there is another device on your network using this port, you'll need
to change it to be unique.
UPNP enable
(This feature is not required if you are using SwannLink P2P to
access the DVR): UPnP makes configuring your network easier
and faster. To use the UPnP setting on the DVR, you'll need a
router which supports this feature, with UPnP enabled. Note that
many routers which do support UPnP do not come with the feature
enabled by default.
UID
The DVR's Unique IDentifier code for SwannLink P2P. For
convenience, you can have this code sent to your email account by
clicking Send Email (provided that you've already set up your email
account).
