Note:
Time synchronization interval has a range of 0-10080 min, normally 7200 min. If the DVR is used on a public
network, you should use a NTP server that has a time synchronization function, such as the server at the National Time
Center (IP Address: 210.72.145.44). If the DVR is setup in a more customized network, NTP software can be used to
establish a NTP server used for time synchronization.

Network Video Surveillance software installed. The Alarm Host Port must be the same as software's
alarm monitor port (default port is 7200).

from 239.252.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
To set up multicast:
