Network Configuration - Q-See QT Series User Manual

4.5 NETWORK CONFIGURATION

The Network Configuration window is used to control how your NVR works in a networked
environment. Much of this is now handled through the Scan N' View service and the average
user will only need to edit settings in the Email tab.
However, if you wish to remotely monitor your NVR using the CMS or NVMS software, you will
need to ensure that the NVR's ports have been forwarded. This section will provide a general
overview of the settings, Full, in-depth instructions on the functions and settings available in this
window are presented in the Remote Monitoring Guide which is on the disk that came with
your system or which can be downloaded from our website at www.Q-See.com/Support.
The four tabs in this window are Network, Sub-Stream, Email and Other Settings. If you
will only be monitoring the NVR from another computer on your network, you will only need to
use the first three tabs.
It is important that your NVR is connected to your network router and that the router is
powered on before proceeding.
This window displays the information on the NVR's local network and Internet addresses
which will allow you to access the NVR on a network. As discussed in the Remote Monitoring
Guide, you will use the local network address to access your system from the same wireless
or intranet network that the NVR is connected to. When you are outside of that area, you will
use the Internet address shown (obtained in the steps below) or the DDNS address that you
will set up.
IMPORTANT!
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) capability, which allows the NVR to connect
automatically to the network. Consult the Quick Networking Poster or the
Remote Monitoring Guide before changing Network settings.
NETWORK
HTTP Port – This is the port the NVR will
use to communicate through the
router. When accessing the NVR
remotely from the Internet, you will
need to enter your network's remote
IP address (obtained in the next step)
in the address bar of an Internet
Explorer window. For example:
http://88.116.0.25
NOTE! The default value is 85. If port 85 is already occupied by another device
on the network, then another port will need to be selected. Choose another
number in the same range; 81-89. In this case, you will have to add the port to
the IP address when entering it into the Internet Explorer window. For example,
if the port is now 82, then you will need to enter http://88.116.0.25:82
The majority of routers available on the market since 2008 have
