Alarm Host IP is the IP of the remote PC that has the Network Video Surveillance software installed. The Alarm Host Port must be the same as software's alarm monitor port (default port is 7200).

Configuring Multicast

Setting up multicasting solves limitation issues when streaming video through a network access device. A multicast address spans the Class-D IP range of 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. It is recommended to use the IP address range from 239.252.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.

To set up multicasting:

1.Click Menu Settings Network to enter the Network Settings menu.

2.Select the Advanced tab.

3.Next to Host/Others, click Set to enter the Host/Others menu.

4.Set Multicast IP (see Figure 8-8).

When adding a device to the Network Video Surveillance software, the multicast address must be the same with the DVR's multicast IP.
