Port Mapping
Port mapping is mapping a port of outside web host’s IP address to a machine inside web, and
65
User Manual of LaView Premium HD Digital Video Recorder provide the service. When user connects to the port of the IP, the server will automatically map the request to the corresponding machine inside LAN.With the function of port mapping, we can map many ports of a machine’s IP address to different machines’ different ports inside web. The port mapping can also have other special agent functions, like POP, SMTP, TELNET, etc.
Theoretically, it can provide more than sixty thousand ports. For example, if we want to map a web server which has an IP address of 192.168.111.10, we just need to input the IP address and
TCP port 80 into the port mapping chart of the router. There are two ways to map the port: UPnP function automatically map and modify the router’s port mapping chart by manual.
Manual port mapping
The first step
Connect the Embedded DVR to the Router, set the static IP.
The second step
Log in Router, enter into the configuration menu of Router, and set the menu. Then get to port, set the IP distributed by the Embedded DVR, and set the rule of port mapping, add HTTP and TCP port into mapping list.
Default access ports of Embedded DVR include HTTP port 80 and TCP port 8000, if the ports are occupied by the other devices; please modify the default port of the Embedded DVR into other vacant ports.
The third step
Input the public net IP address in the IE, and add the port number of the Embedded DVR you want to access after the IP, for example: http://155.157.12.227:81. If you want to access by Client
Software, you can use the outer net TCP port directly.
Note : for detail configuration setting, please refer to the user manual of Router.

6.3 HDD Capacity Calculation
6.3.1 Reference of HDD Capacity Calculation
The first time install DVR, please check if the HDD has installed.
The capacity of the HDD
There is no limitation of capacity of single HDD to DVR, please choose the HDD according to the saving time.
The choose of the Capacity
Computational formula of HDD Capacity:
Whole HDD Capacity = number of the channels × time in need (hour) × spent of HDD Capacity per hour (MB/hour)
Similarly we can have the formula of recording time:
