1. PRODUCT FEATURES 1.1 Product Introduction The NVR is a storage media of digital video image, which uses hard disk drives instead of NAS devices to store video. This storage media provides the user with the power of remote control of the Internet. It’s an extremely stable and reliable device because it is a stand-alone system. Its local operations are very similar to the DVR’s interface, hence if the user is familiar with the DVR s/he will find this media to be most convenient.
＊ High stability and reliability. ＊ Operation-status record log. ＊ Distribution of live and recorded images throughout the TCP/IP network environment. ＊ Powerful PC software. ＊ Web browser: IE. ＊ Audio function included. ＊ Built-in SD card slot for copying image to SD card. ＊ Supports the DHCP protocol.

NOTE: This function can only work if the LAN which the unit is connected to has a DHCP server. If the DHCP server is working, the NVR will obtain an IP address automatically from the DHCP server. In that case please skip the section 11.2.2 (Set IP address) and follow section 3. (TCP/IP Communication Software). 11.2.2 Set IP Address You don’t need to set a NET IP for the unit if the LAN which the unit is connected to has a DHCP server.
NOTE: When connecting to a network, each connected NVR must be assigned a unique IP, which must be in the same class type as your network address. IP addresses are written as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example, 192.168.0.1 Therefore, if the connected network is identified as Class C, for example, the first three sets of numbers of the NVR IP address must be the same as the network address.
