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)

AComputer

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).
