This section offers a brief overview of how to set up your DVR so that it can beremotely monitored from another computer on your network, over the Internet or from mobilewireless devices. Full, in-depth instructions on the functions and settings available in thiswindow are presented in the Remote Monitoring Guide which is on the disk that camewith your system or which can be downloaded from our website at www.Q-See.com. The fourtabs in this window are Network, Sub-Stream, Email and Other Settings. If you will onlybe monitoring the DVR from another computer on your network, you will only need to use thefirst three tabs.It is important that your DVR is connected to your network router and that the router ispowered on before proceeding.NetworkNetwork SubstreamSubstream Other SettingsOther SettingsEmailEmailNETWORKNETWORKDefaultDefault ApplyApply ExitExitTestTestHTTP PortServer PortObtain an IP address automaticallyIP AddressSubnet MaskGatewayPreferred DNS ServerAlternate DNS ServerPPPoEUser NamePasswordHTTP PortServer PortObtain an IP address automaticallyIP AddressSubnet MaskGatewayPreferred DNS ServerAlternate DNS ServerPPPoEUser NamePassword806036192 . 168 . 001 . 100255 . 255 . 255 . 000192 . 168 . 001 . 001000 . 000 . 000 . 000000 . 000 . 000 . 000806036192 . 168 . 001 . 100255 . 255 . 255 . 000192 . 168 . 001 . 001000 . 000 . 000 . 000000 . 000 . 000 . 000PICTURE 4-35Network TabHTTP Port – This is the port the DVRwill occupy on your computernetwork. When accessing the DVRremotely from the Internet, you willneed to enter your network’s IPaddress (obtained in the next step)in the address bar of an InternetExplorer window. For example:http://192.168.0.25Optain IP Address Automatically – Clicking this box will obtain the IP address, subnet mask,and gateway IP from the router.PPPOE – Selecting this enables Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) which allowsyou to directly connect your DVR to the Internet through your modem. Do not use thisunless required by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or if you are already connectedto a router. Contact your ISP for your account information including user name andpassword. The TEST button will verify that your information is correct.NOTE! The default value is 80. If port 80 is already occupied by another deviceon the network, then another port will need to be selected. Choose anothernumber in the same range; 81-89. In this case, you will have to add the port tothe IP address when entering it into the Internet Explorer window. For example,if the port is now 82, then you will need to enter http://192.168.0.25:82Substream TabThe substream is the data that is sent to remote monitoring devices. Due to bandwidthconcerns, these data streams are generally smaller than those sent directly to the DVR itself.These streams run in parallel with the main stream sent to the hard drive and they do notaffect each other.Definitions and descriptions of network configuration:Parameter DefinitionHTTP Port The network port number for accessing the DVR via Internet Explorer.

The definitions arerepeated for your convenience:PICTURE 4-36Parameter Options What it MeansResolution D1, CIF D1 = Full TV resolution, CIF = 1/2 D1. D1 takesmore room on the hard drive than CIFFPS 1-30Frames per second. More frames makes forsmoother video but takes up more room on thehard drive.Encode VBR, CBRVariable Bit Rate versus Constant Bit Rate. VBRprovides better image quality for video with motionin it, but at the expense of a larger file size.Quality Lowest – Highest Only available when VBR is selected. The higherthe quality, the more drive space required.Max Bitrate 256-2084kbpsYour network may not have enough bandwidthto handle maximum rates from all of yourcameras. Adjusting these settings to suityour network will improve performance andon-screen image quality.
