Frequently Asked Questions - VT-EHL4 Vitek

How do I connect the DVR to my network for remote viewing?

To connect remotely, first ensure the DVR is connected to your router via Ethernet cable. Go to System Setup > Network and enable DHCP to obtain an IP address automatically, or set a static IP. Then, configure port forwarding on your router for ports 8080 (web) and 554 (RTSP). You can access the DVR via its DDNS hostname (e.g., yourname.dvrlink.net:8080) or public IP address.

How do I set up motion detection recording?

Navigate to System Setup > Camera > Motion Sensor. Select the desired camera channel and adjust sensitivity (1-10). Click Area Setup to define the detection area by selecting grid cells. Then go to Record Setup and in Continuous/Motion schedule, assign MOTION or Continuous+Motion for the time periods.

How can I view footage from my smartphone?

Download the Vitek DVR Viewer (iPhone/iPad) or Vitek EH DVR Viewer (Android) from your app store. Add a new connection: enter a name, the DVR's IP address or DDNS hostname, the web port (default 8080), RTSP port (554), username (default ADMIN), and password (default 1234). Once saved, select the DVR to view live video.

How do I adjust the recording frame rate and quality?

Go to Record Setup > Continuous/Motion > SIZE/FPS/QUALITY. Select a time period by dragging or using cursor keys. For each time block, set the desired resolution (SIZE), frames per second (FPS), picture quality, and audio on/off. The total available frames are shown at the bottom; ensure it is 0 or higher.

What should I do if I forget the DVR password?

The default administrator password is 1234 (username ADMIN). If you have changed it and cannot recall, you must perform a factory reset. Go to System Setup > System > System Management > Factory Default. Note that this erases all settings but not recorded video. Alternatively, contact Vitek support for assistance.

How do I search and playback recorded footage?

Press the SEARCH button on the front panel or remote. Log in as ADMIN (password 1234). To search by time, select Search by Time and use the calendar to pick a date with recorded data (highlighted).

Can I control a PTZ camera with this DVR?

Yes, the DVR supports PTZ control via RS-485. Connect the PTZ camera to the RS-485 terminals on the rear panel. Then go to System Setup > Camera > PTZ Setup. Set the correct Address, Protocol (e.g., Vitek), and Baud Rate for your PTZ device. In live view, click the PTZ button to access controls: directional arrows, zoom, focus, iris, presets, and patterns.

How do I update the firmware?

Download the latest firmware from the Vitek support website (http://vitekcctv.com/Downloads.asp). Extract the firmware file and copy it to a USB flash drive. Insert the USB drive into the DVR. Go to System Setup > System > System Management > F/W Upgrade. Select the firmware file from the list and click UPGRADE. Do not power off during the update.

How can I archive recorded footage to a USB stick?

Insert a USB memory stick into the DVR’s USB port. Press the ARCHIVE button. Select the desired channel(s) and set the From and To date/time. Click QUERY to verify data, then BURN to start archiving. You can also reserve data during playback by pressing the button. For remote archiving via web, use the Backup function in the remote viewer.

How do I set up email notifications for events?

Go to System Setup > Network > E-Mail and configure your SMTP server settings (server, port, security options). Then go to System Setup > Event/Sensor > E-Mail Notification and enable notification.

MAX TX SPEED : Specifies the maximum bandwidth that the DVR can use during a remote connection.

HOW TO OBTAIN AN IP ADDRESS

One of the easiest ways to obtain an IP address for your DVR is to use the built-in DHCP feature of your DVR.

HOW TO SET UP DHCP

The purpose of DHCP is to obtain all of the network information from the connected router. In most cases, the best way to do this is to cycle the DHCP feature, or in other words, turn it on, then off again. This will get the network information from the router, and then by turning DHCP off in the DVR, it will lock that address to the DVR.

Using the DHCP Feature:

1) Go to your DVR's 'main' menu, →System Setup→Network
2) 'IP SETUP' should be selected by default. To the right, 'DHCP' is listed. If it is 'checked', uncheck it, then select 'Apply' at the bottom of the screen. You should get a pop-up indicating the network is rebooting.(If DHCP was unchecked, see below)
3) Once the network reboots, go back and 'check' DHCP and select Apply. Again, the network will reboot.
4) Make note of your DVR's IP address; you will need this for port forwarding.
5) Now, go back and 'unchecked' DHCP; this will set your DVR's IP address to STATIC

If DHCP is ‘unchecked’, select it, then select ‘Apply’ at the bottom of the screen. You should get a pop-up indicating the network is rebooting. Make note of your DVR’s IP address; you will need this for port forwarding.

Now, go back and 'unchecked' DHCP; this will set your DVR's IP address to STATIC.

SYSTEM SETUP

NETWORK : DDNS

DDNS : When enabled, the DVR can be accessed through a Dynamic DNS server. Commonly used if a broadband connection does not have a static IP address.

CAUTION

To use the DDNS function, ports 8080 and 554 must be opened. (This is commonly known as port forwarding).

a. Default WEB SERVER PORT: 8080
b. Default RTSP SERVICE PORT: 554

Default DDNS HOST NAME is set to the MAC (Media Access Control) address.

Creating your DDNS Host Name

The EHL series allows you to actually name your DVR, and access it by that name.

Steps

1) Access the DVR's main menu by using the remote control, or by the buttons on the front of the unit
2) The Setup box will appear. Select "System Setup"
3) Select "Network"
4) Select "DDNS"
5) Make sure DDNS is turned "ON"

1) Make sure DDNS is turned ON
2) Highlight HOST NAME and press enter. The virtual keyboard will appear. Change the Host Name to your desired name by removing the previous entry--you can do this by repeatedly selecting the key. (When choosing your host name, please don't include any spaces or special characters). Once you have entered your desired host name, select OK.
4) Select "CHECK" under DDNS Registration to make sure the name is available.
5) Select "TEST" under DDNS Connection to make sure you have a connection to the server
6) Select APPLY at the bottom of the screen to apply your changes
7) Bring up a browser (ex. Internet Explorer), and type: http://your-ddns-hostname.dvrlink.net:8080 in the address bar.
For example: If your DDNS Host Name was Johndoesdvr, you would type: http://johndoesdvr.dvrlink.net:8080
NOTE: If you changed the webport, you will need to use that number, NOT 8080.

SYSTEM SETUP

REMOTE ACCESS

You can remotely access your VT-EH series DVR in the following ways:

1. The DVR's MAC address
2. The DVR's DDNS Host Name (by default this is set to the MAC address)
3. Your external static IP address (if you have one)

\*\*\*\*\*IMPORTANT\*\*\*\*\*

In order to view your DVR remotely you must port forward BOTH the Web Server Port (the default is 8080) and the RTSP Service Port (the default is 554). If you need assistance with port forwarding, please reference your router's manual or contact your Network Administrator/IT Professional.

1. MAC Address

The MAC address is a unique identifier assigned to your DVR. By default, this address is listed as the DDNS Host Name.

Here is how to find your DVR's MAC address:

1. Access the DVR's main menu by using the remote control, or by using the buttons on the front of the unit.
2. The Setup box will appear. Select "System Setup."
3. Select "System."
4. Select "System Management."
5. Select "System Information."
6. The MAC address will be displayed here.
7. Bring up a browser (ex. Internet Explorer), and type:

http://the-mac-address-of-your-dvr.dvrlink.net:8080 in the

address bar. For example, if your MAC address was

001155555555, you would type:

http://001155555555.dvrlink.net:8080.

SYSTEM SETUP

3. IP Address

If you have a STATIC IP ADDRESS, you can use this to access your DVR.

Accessing the DVR REMOTELY

To access the DVR remotely via IP address, use the WAN IP address of the network the DVR is connected to. (Sometimes this IP address is referred to as the LIVE, PUBLIC or OUTSIDE IP address)

Steps:

1. Bring up a browser (ex. Internet Explorer), and type: http://your.static.ip.address:8080 in the address bar.
   For example, if your STATIC IP address was 10.10.10.10, you would type: http://10.10.10.10:8080

NOTE: if you changed the webport, you will need to use that number, NOT 8080.

If you are on the same network as the DVR you will need to use the DVR's IP address to access it.

Steps:

1. Access the DVR's main menu by using the remote control, or by using the buttons on the front of the unit.
2. The Setup box will appear. Select "System Setup."
3. Select "Network."
