Using the System
Network
Configure network settings and enable Lorex DDNS for remote viewing and email notification.
ETHERNET
Make sure you have connected your system to your network via the Network port on the rear panel. With the provided software, you can control the system remotely using a PC with Internet access.
CONNECTION
Configure the settings DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) settings. This affects how your system communicates with the router.
•DYNAMIC IP – Check the box if you have Internet service with a Dynamic IP address.
•STATIC IP – Check the box to enable a connection with a Static IP address. If using a Static IP, use the Virtual Keyboard to edit your IP Address, Subnet Mask, gateway, and Standard DNS Server.
Click OK to save your settings or DEFAULT to restore factory defaults.
•DHCP TIME OUT – Set the time (in milliseconds) for the system to send/receive information from the router. Use a high value on a slow network and a low value on a fast network.
•DHCP RETRY COUNT – Set the interval for the system to try to reconnect to the router
•PORT – Set the port for the system to communicate with the router. By default, the system uses port 5000.
Click OK to save your settings or DEFAULT to restore factory defaults.
Tip: DCHP Mode allows you to connect quickly the first time by obtaining an IP address from the router. After the initial setup, we recommend that you select a Static IP and set the IP address between 1~100. For example, if your IP address is 192.168.0.107, change the last digits to 50 (i.e. 192.163.0.50).
This ensures that port forwarding will not change in the event of power failure or resetting of your network.
