APPENDIX 1 Register as a DDNS Member The DDNS (dynamic domain name system) is a function which is provided by an American company. Please refer to www.dyndns.com. This chapter provides the user with the basic instructions on how to register a free DDNS service. Registering for a DDNS Enter the URL www.dyndns.com. In the upper right-hand corner of the main page, where there is an item, „Create Account”, as shown in Figure 1.
Set up the DDNS After creating the account successfully, please enter your user name and password in the upper right-hand corner of the main page to login, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 After you login successfully, a text will appear saying „My Services”, as shown in Figure 3.
Click „My Services” to enter the service page. Please click the „Add Host Service” item which is below the „My Hosts” item, as shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 Click „Add Host Service”, and its service items will appear. The Add Dynamic DNS Host item helps to add a new DDNS. Each member may have only one free account, and one free account can have only five DDNS. Click Add Dynamic DNS Host to enter the DDNS setting page as shown in Figure 5.
All we have to set in this page is the „Hostname” item. The user can choose a Sub Hostname as s/he likes from the right-hand side of the Hostname’s drop-down list. NOTE: You don’t have to set the „IP Address” in the same format as the device’s IP Address. It will renew the IP Address automatically. After finishing the setting, please press the „Create Host” button as shown in Figure 6.
APPENDIX 2 PoE Installation Method WARNING: Please follow the steps in this instruction carefully. Connecting these adapters incorrectly may result in damage to your network devices. 1.
2. IP Video Server POWER+DATA IN: Connect a CAT 5 RJ-45 straight- through cable from the POWER+DATA OUT port on the Power over Ethernet Injector. 3. Power over Ethernet Injector POWER+DATA OUT: Provides the data and power to the IP Video Server. Connect this port to the POWER+DATA IN port on the IP Video Server. POWER IN: Using the supplied 48V power supply, connect to a wall power outlet.
4. Connecting the IP Video Server: please take the following steps: Step 1: Insert one end of a Cat 5 Ethernet RJ-45 cable into the „LIN IN” port of the Power over Ethernet Injector. Connect the other end of the cable to your network switch or PC. Step 2: Plug one end of the Power adapter into the „POWER IN” port of the Power over Ethernet Injector and the other end into your electrical outlet. The installed connection looks the same as in Figure 1.
APPENDIX 3 FAQ 1. Can the SD Card be removed during recording ? A: No, it cannot be removed until the recording comes to a single point. The POWER LED flashing light signals the SD card is operating. The green light indicates the unit is activating. The red light warns the SD card cannot be removed. If the SD card is withdrawn in this mode, the card will break. 2. I’ve set the function of „Motion Detection” but it doesn’t seem to work.
