5.2.3.3: STATIC
When selecting Static as your Network type, you will
need to set the Network setting on the DVR to match
settings of your Router. To do this, bring up the
command prompt on any computer attached to your
Router by typing cmd into your Run program (Picture 9).
Type in ipconfig at the prompt (see red arrow on Picture
9) to access the router settings. Write down the gateway
and subnet mask numbers (Green arrows on Picture 9)
so you can enter them into the network settings of the
DVR (Picture 10).
To set up the Network settings of your DVR, go to [Main
Menu]
[Network Set] to enter into [Network Setup]
menu (Picture 10). Select the Static option from the
“TYPE” drop down list on the Network Setup menu
(Picture 10). For the DVR’s IP address, use the same
first 3 sets of numbers as the gateway and select a
fourth set of numbers that is different than any other
device attached to the same router. If the IP address of
your computer in the ipconfig (BLUE arrow in Picture 9)
was a single or two digit number you should be ok with
any three digit number, if the computer IP address ends
with a number in the 100s then you should use a
number in the 200’s. Once you enter the addresses hit
OK button.
At the bottom of the NETWORK SETUP window there is
an option to setup the DVR to be accessed through a
DDNS service. Clicking on this button will pull up a
screen as seen in Picture 11. Through here, you can set
your DVR up to use a Dynamic Domain Name Service.
Keep in mind that a dynamic address can change from
time to time depending upon your service provider. In
the event that it does change, you will need to go to a
website such as www.myipaddress.com from a
computer attached to the same router as the DVR to
figure out what that new IP address is.
To avoid a change in IP Address by your Internet Service
Provider, you can either ask your service provider for a
static IP Address or use a dynamic domain name
service to get a domain name that can be linked to your
dynamic address. You can register for a domain name,
user name, and password through our company’s
myq-see.com website. By registering, you can then
enter your dynamic domain name into an Internet
Explorer browser instead of an IP address and be
directed to whatever the current dynamic IP address is,
so that you can always access the DVR by entering the
same address. This DVR also supports the DDNS
service provided by dyndns. You can get more
information on how to use these services from the
myq-see.com or www.dyndns.com website.
