assigning a unique IP address to a web address or URL (e.g. www.google.de).
When a domain is entered into a browser,
the DNS searches for the corresponding IP
address of the server and forwards the
query on to it.
The IP of the provider’s DNS can be entered here. However, it is often sufficient to
select the IP of the gateway. This then forwards the queries independently to the
provider DNS.
General network
It is essential that the network settings are correct if you
•
want to control the device and monitor remotely via
your browser.
Note
Please read the following general instructions before setting up the device.
A network is the connection of at least two network-compatible devices.
Transmission methods:
•
•
•
DHCP
The DHCP server automatically assigns
the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and
name server to a network device.
DHCPs are available in current routers.
The DHCP service must be specially set
and activated (see the relevant manual for
more information).
Note:
When using fixed IP addresses together
with a DHCP server, you should ensure
that the fixed IP addresses are outside of
the addresses assigned by DHCP to avoid
problems occurring.
Port
A port is an interface that enables different
programs to communicate. Certain ports
are fixed (23: Telnet, 21: FTP), whilst others can be freely selected. Ports are relevant for various applications, e.g. for external access to the device via a browser.
MAC address
The MAC address (Media Access Control
address or Ethernet ID) is the specific
hardware address of the network adapter.
It is used for the unique identification of the
device on a computer network.
wired networks (e.g. CAT5 cable)
wireless networks (Wi-Fi)
other transmission types (Powerline)
All systems have significant similarities but are different
in various ways.
Terms
Below there is an overview of terms related to using the
device on networks.
Parameter
Setting
IP address
An IP address is the unique address of
a network device on a network.
It must only appear once on a network.
Certain IP address ranges are reserved
for public networks, such as the internet.
Private address range
Subnet mask
Gateway
E.g. 10.0.0.0–10.255.255.255
Subnet mask 255.0.0.0
172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255
Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
192.168.0.0–192.168.255.255
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
A subnet mask is a bit mask that is used
to make decisions and assignments
during routing.
The standard subnet mask on home
networks is 255.255.255.0.
A gateway is a network device that allows all other network devices to access
the internet.
It can be, for example, the computer to
which the DSL modem is connected or,
most frequently, the router or access
point on the network.

Note
Please follow the instructions and notes for the
network devices.
Several switches/routers/access points can be connected to one another. Firewalls and other security software may have a negative effect on the network.
Warning
When using a router, the network clients, and
therefore the recorder, are “connected” to the internet and vice versa.
You should make sure that you take protective
measures, such as using a firewall, changing your
password and changing the port, to prevent unauthorised external access.

Motion
Select the camera channel to be processed under “Camera” and adjust the image settings based on the lighting
conditions.
Motion detection is controlled solely using the motion information on the recorder, which has been detected by
the camera. When the camera is connected to the system, the recorder automatically sets a standard setting
for motion detection directly on the IP camera web interface. The settings therefore have to be manually adjusted on the camera’s web interface based on the current conditions.
PTZ
To set up motion detection, proceed as follows:
1. Select the camera channel to be processed under
“Camera”.
2. Tick the “Enable Motion Detection” box and define

About the internal hard disk drive
About the internal hard disk drive
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is very sensitive. Operate the device in accordance with the following instructions to avoid hard disk drive faults. Important recordings
should be backed up on external media to avoid accidental data losses.
Note

Do not move the device during operation.
Dampness inside the device can condense
and cause the hard disk drive to malfunction.
When the device is switched on, never remove the mains connector plug from the
socket or interrupt the power supply by tripping the safety switch.
Do not move the device immediately after
switching it off. To move the device carry out
the following steps.
1. Wait at least two minutes after the OFF notification (device display).
2. Unplug from the mains.
3. Move the device.
If there is a power cut whilst the device is operating, data on the hard disk drive can be
lost. Use a UPS.
The hard disk drive is very sensitive. Improper
operation or an unsuitable environment could
damage the hard disk drive after a number of
years of operation. Indications of this are the
playback stopping unexpectedly and visible
mosaic effect in the image. Under certain circumstances there is no indication of a defective hard disk drive.
If there is a defect, no playback of recordings
is possible. In this case the hard disk drive
must be replaced
