Alarm host IP represents the IP of the remote PC where the Network Video
Surveillance software installed. The alarm host port value must be the same
as software’s alarm monitor port. Default port is 7200.
Configuring multicast
Setting up multicasting resolves limitation issues when streaming videos through
a network access device. A multicast address spans the Class-D IP range of
224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. We recommend that the IP address range of
239.252.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 be used.
To set up multicasting:
1. Click Network Settings icon in the menu toolbar and then click More
Settings.
2. Enter a Multicast IP address.
Note: When adding a device to the Network Video Surveillance software, the
multicast address must be the same as the DVR’s multicast IP.
3. Click Apply to save the settings.
Configuring the server and HTTP ports
You can change the server and HTTP ports from the default settings in the
Network Settings screen. The default server port is 8000 while that of the default
HTTP port is 80.
Note: The server port has a port range of 2000 to 65535 and is used for remote
client software access. The HTTP port is used for remote internet browser
access.
To change the default ports:
1. Click the Network Settings icon in the menu toolbar and then click More
Settings.
2. Enter the new Com Port and HTTP Port values.
