LE/LE-HC Series DVR User Manual
V1.4
Voice Call
Requires a voice modem. When turned On, Start and Stop times for this activation must be
entered. In addition, two telephone numbers for outgoing calls are entered and an Audio File
(Wave file) must be specified.
Action Types are set from the Action List sub-menu (Figure 5.16), for each camera. This is time
consuming and cumbersome with the IR controller and is better accomplished using a mouse and
keyboard in GUI mode.
n) ISP
The ISP Setup screen needs to be completed if
access to the Internet is going to be by. Dial-
up.
Dial-up phone #, Account Name and Password and whether the TCP/IP address is to be manually
or automatically entered need to be set.
o) Registry Server Setting
Registry Servers are used when it is not
feasible or not cost effective to run a static IP. The difference between a static IP and a dynamic
IP is that the ISP can change a dynamic IP but not a static IP. Naturally, static IPs are more
expensive. Basically what happens with "Registry Server Setting" is that a server is configured
and is resident on the Internet. When the IP changes on the LE/LE-HC Series DVR, the DVR tells
the server that the IP has changed. Remote users wishing to access their DVR access through
the Registry Server to get the new IP, which is always current. This is a great idea in concept, but
sometimes it is difficult to implement, as when the service provider changes the IP, sometimes it
takes the LE/LE-HC Series DVR (or any PC) a while to update the IP address (it could be hours)
and for that time the DVR is inaccessible. Since it is theoretically possible for an ISP to change
the IP every couple of hours – obviously, that is a problem. In most cases, ISPs only change the
IP when the user logs out and then logs back in. Also, using routers can cause problems, as it
adds another link to the chain and sometimes the DVR doesn't know that the External IP has
changed due to issues with Network Address Translation.
The IP address of the default registry host is http://registry.nfic.com.tw/registry.htm, the
default registry host domain name is Null and the value of registry host path is "cgi". Please
visit http://registry.nfic.com.tw/registry.htm to query or browse the current registered LE/LE-HC
Series units on the registry server.
p) Running mode
Running mode has two settable items:
Item 1: ISP mode or Network Mode. Make sure the system is configured to run in
network mode unless dial-up Internet access is to be used.
