Devices Connected Through a Network

This unit is connected with network cameras and surveillance computers through the network.

This unit has two network terminals; one for connecting to network cameras (LAN1), and one for connecting to surveillance computers (LAN2).

Caution:

Make sure to use LAN1 and LAN2 for different segments*. Example:

LAN1: 192.168.0.253

LAN2: 192.168.1.253

*Segment: Underlined sections

LAN1 and LAN2 cannot communicate with each other. It is not possible to configure settings of cameras connected to LAN1 from a surveillance computer connected to LAN2. Connect a computer for camera setup to LAN1 in order to configure settings for cameras connected to LAN1.

LAN1 and LAN2 are non-QoS-compliant. Audio sounds may not be played back properly depending on the line status.

Do not connect a faulty switching hub or router, or an exhausted network cable. Otherwise, the system may malfunction.

Connecting to network cameras (LAN1)

ANetwork cameras

BSwitching hub

Caution:

Install cameras and setup IP addresses in advance.

Do not connect LAN1 to the Internet. Important camera images may not be saved depending on conditions such as Internet congestion and relay status.

It is recommended to make it a dedicated network to ensure recording performance. Also, the camera network of LAN1 must be the same segment (address conversion such as NAT and NAPT and a router are not used).

Note:

For protocols and port numbers used by network cameras, refer to the instruction manual of the network cameras.

The default IP address of LAN1 is “192.168.0.253.” The default value may be changed in [Network and Internet] in [Control Panel] (A Page 31).

With separately-sold camera licenses, the number of cameras that can be connected may be increased to 64 (VR-X3200U) or 32 (VR-X1600U) (A Page 118). For purchase of additional licenses, consult an authorized dealer or a JVC KENWOOD service center.

Connecting to surveillance computers (LAN2)

BSwitching hub

CTime server (NTP server)

Caution:

When connecting the LAN2 side to the internet and using in on the surveillance computer, global IP acquisition and VPN connection may require a contract with a separate telecommunications carrier. Also, it is necessary to set the broadband router to connect to the internet.

To use LAN2 on surveillance computer by connecting to the Internet, an IP masquerade setup is necessary.

Note:

Protocols and port numbers used are as follows:

Surveillance computer: HTTP 80

Main sending: SMTP 25, and POP 110

Time synchronization: NTP 123

The default IP address of LAN2 is “192.168.1.253.” The default value may be changed in [Network and Internet] in [Control Panel] (A Page 31).
