TruVision NVR 21(S/P) User Manual 111

If Manual is selected, enter the external ports and IP addresses required. Click the

Edit icon to change the values.

Configuring an FTP server to store snapshots

You can upload your snapshots to an FTP server for storage.

Note: It is not possible to stream video to an FTP site.

To configure the FTP server settings:

1. From the menu toolbar, click Network Settings > FTP.

2. Check the Enable FTP box.

3. Enter the FTP server information.

4. Click Apply to save the settings.

Configuring a remote alarm host

If a remote alarm host is set, the recorder sends a signal to the host when an alarm is

triggered. The remote alarm host must have the TruVision Navigator server software

installed.

To set up a remote alarm host:

1. From the menu toolbar, click Network Settings > More Settings.

2. Enter Alarm Host IP and Alarm Host Port.

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. Up to three alarm hosts can be set. For each alarm

host, the default port is 5001, 5002, and 5003.

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. From the menu toolbar, click Network Settings > More Settings.

2. Enter a Multicast IP address.
