STEP 4. Once you have set up your region, you can add one or more DVRs or IP
cameras to it by clicking on the Add Device icon.
Device Name - You can name the device (DVR or camera) anything you chose but it is
generally helpful to use a descriptive term that will help you quickly identify it. There is
a 32 character limit.
Server - The Internet IP or DDNS address which allows you to access your DVR
from outside of your Local Area Network (LAN). Please see your DVR’s Remote
Monitoring Guide or camera’s manual for instructions on how to configure your
DVR for access over the Internet.
Data Port - Typically 6036 for the QT-series unless you had to configure it differently
during setup.
User Name and Password - These are the same as you use to log into your DVR. By
default, they are
admin and 123456.
Search Device - Use this only if you are connecting to DVRs connected to the same
router as your computer. It will not bring up devices located outside of your LAN.
When you have successfully added a device,
it will show up in the selected region along
with a list of cameras available for viewing.
Repeat the steps above to add more devices
(if any).
Use the Modify tool to rename or modify
the settings for the region or any connected
systems. If you change the password or user
name on your DVR, you will need to update
that information within CMS using this tool.
Delete can be used to remove systems or
regions as needed.
STEP 5. To view your DVRs, click on the
Live button at the lower right of the
Operation Interface.
STEP 6. You will see your connected
devices listed to the left of the viewing
window. You can drag and drop the
DVR’s icon onto the blank
Operation
Interface window to open the feeds
from the attached cameras.
CHANNEL GROUPS
Channel groups are any collection of channels that you have grouped together for your
convenience. They can be selected channels from one DVR or a few channels from multiple
systems.
Channel groups are set up in the
Device Manager console after you’ve added systems to
the Device List. Again, there is a 32-character limit for names.
