Product specifications, parameters, functions of the device can change without notice!45IDENTIVISION Megapixel camera installation guide5. DIGITAL CHANNELS5.1 Basic knowledge[IP address] two functions: host or network interface identification (IP address example: 192.168.1.110)Two versions of IP are in use: IP Version 4 and IP Version 6. Each version defines an IP address differently.Because of its prevalence, the generic term IP address typically still refers to the addresses defined by IPv4.[TCP port] Internet protocoll, which helps the datatransfer.[DHCP] clien-server protocoll, which provide to the network using devices to get every information automaticallyby the DHCP server. It provides the IP addresses for the cameras, when it is enabled.[Fix or static IP address] these type of IP address will not change after a system reboot.[POE] Power over Ethernet describes any of several standardized or ad-hoc systems which pass electricalpower along with data on Ethernet cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection andelectrical power to devices such as wireless access points or IP cameras. These feature is in every compatibledevice’s specifications.The maximum compatible cable long for the POE is 100 m.We have tested the N411SPOE recorder with a 100m good quality solid copper Belden cable (FTP connectors). Ithad no problems, but please make sure that every situation is different and the compatible long can decreasebecause of the installations methods.5.2 First stepsFirst connect the cameras to the power supply and to the network, after this make sure that the devices havestatic IP addresses (at default they have, but its the same, we have change that). This steps are not necessary,but provide a stable network connection.These steps are showed by a system with a TP-link router and an NVR recorder. Other manufactureshave the same solutions, but the steps can be different.First find out what is your router default IP address (it is written on your router, or in the setting menu)52. picture Router settingsDefault IP address: 192.168.1.1Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0Router Mac address: F4-EC-38-CC-8A-5A
