Figure 4-36 HOST NAME: Enter a descriptive name for the GV-Compact DVR V3. HTTP PORT: The HTTP port enables connecting the GV-Compact DVR V3 to the Web. For security integration, the Administrator can hide the server from the general HTTP port by changing the default HTTP port of 80 to a different port number within the range of 1024 thru 65535.
Page 95: Umts Settings
IP Address: The IP address of the GV-Compact DVR V3 will be displayed after the UMTS service is enabled. The next time when you want to log in the GV-Compact DVR V3, you need to enter the IP address into your browser. If you use the UMTS connection with dynamic IP addresses, it is highly suggested to enable the DDNS function that links a domain name to the unit’s changing IP address.
Page 96: Ddns Settings
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) provides a convenient way of accessing the GV-Compact DVR V3 when using a dynamic IP. DDNS assigns a domain name to the unit, so that the Administrator does not need to go through the trouble of checking if the IP address assigned by DHCP server or ISP (in xDSL connection) has changed.
Page 97: Multicast Settings
4.7.7 Multicast Settings Note the Multicast function is only supported on the four-channel GV-Compact DVR V3 and only works on a single stream. You can enable either Multicast or RTSP; the two protocols cannot function at the same time. The multicast provides a mechanism for sending a single video and audio stream to a group of hosts.
