Network - This series of menus allows you
to adjust your network settings in the
same way that you would using the
Network window on your system.
These settings are covered at the
beginning of this manual.
Please note that making certain
changes, such as the IP address,
ports and mode of connection can
cause you to lose remote connection
with your recorder. You will have to
log in again using the new settings. In
extreme situations, your recorder will
no longer be able to stream video to
your remote devices until the correct
settings have been restored.
Display - These two tabs contain the
settings for the on-screen display at
your recorder, allowing you to adjust
the GUI transparency, the on-screen
resolution, and in the Tour tab, the
on-screen rotation of the different
channels. While these settings are
best made at your system itself,
this will allow you to remotely make
corrections or adjustments if another
user has made undesired changes.
Channel Setting - You can adjust the video
feed from individual cameras to
compensate for the local lighting
conditions.
Channel Name - This allows you to customize the camera names that appear on screen.
Default - Use this menu to restore factory defaults for your Network, Storage, Event, System
and Add Device. Please be aware that reverting to default network settings may cause
you to lose remote access to your recorder until you reconfigure your system, remote
device or remote log in.
Remote Devices - Add Device This is an NVR-only function. Full instructions are available
in Section 4.1 Camera in the NVR User Manual and Section 2.4 Connecting
Your Camera to a Remote Network in the IP Camera Manual.

The same actions and methods used on your recorder are used in this menu. You will be able
to add cameras that are on the same network as your DVR using the local IP search while
cameras on a different network - even those that are on the same network as the computer
you are currently using - will need to use the procedure for adding remote devices.
