4.4 SCHEDULE CONFIGURATION

Your DVR is configured to record whenever motion is detected. If this is your desired setting then you will not need to make any changes. However, you may configure each channel to record at specific times based on time of day, motion detection or other sensor input. There are three tabs; Schedule, Motion and Sensor

Schedule Tab

The schedule for automatic recording can be set either of two ways.

1.By highlighting individual hours for specific days by using the pencil tool in the upper right of the window. The adjacent eraser tool removes the highlighting in a block. Double click on either the pencil or eraser tool to turn them off. Settings can be copied and applied to any or all of the channels and to any other day.

4.5 NETWORK CONFIGURATION

The Network Configuration window is used to control how your DVR works in a networked environment. This section offers a brief overview of how to set up your DVR so that it can be remotely monitored from another computer on your network, over the Internet or from mobile wireless devices. Full, in-depth instructions on the functions and settings available in this window are presented in the Remote Monitoring Guide which is on the disk that came with your system or which can be downloaded from our website at www.Q-See.com/Support. The four tabs in this window are Network, Sub-Stream, Email and Other Settings. If you will only be monitoring the DVR from another computer on your network, you will only need to use the first three tabs.

It is important that your DVR is connected to your network router and that the router is powered on before proceeding.

This window displays the information on the DVR’s local network and Internet addresses which will allow you to access the DVR on a network. As discussed in the Remote Monitoring Guide, you will use the local network address to access your system from the same wireless or intranet network that the DVR is connected to. When you are outside of that area, you will use the Internet address shown (see below) or the DDNS address that you will set up.

be set up by double clicking on a field

adjacent to a day. Multiple schedules can

be created and saved with start and stop

times down to the minute. These can then

IMPORTANT! The majority of routers available on the market since 2008 have Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) capability, which allows the DVR to connect automatically to the network. Consult the Quick Networking Poster or the Remote Monitoring Guide before changing Network settings.

Schedules made in one mode can be altered in another mode.

Sensor Tab

This enables the DVR to record based on input from other sensors connected to the DVR. Like motion detection, it is default scheduled to be able to record at any time. It is also configured in the same manner as explained under Schedule.

NOTE! The default value is 80. If port 80 is already occupied by another device on the network, then another port will need to be selected. Choose another number in the same range; 81-89. In this case, you will have to add the port to the 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://88.116.0.25:82

Obtain 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 allows you to directly connect your DVR to the Internet through your modem. Do not use this unless you are connected to a modem instead of a router. Contact your ISP for your account information including user name and password. The TEST button will verify that your information is correct.
