- Auto Scan (LAN): Lists cameras in a LAN environment. If Auto Scan (LAN) fails to recognize a camera, try using IP Address Scan instead.

- IP Address Scan: Enter the IP address of a camera. The NVR scans for the camera matching the specified address. If you enter IP address's range, the NVR scans for cameras falling under the specified address's range. By specifying an IP address, you can also specify which port to use with the Remote Admin feature. It is recommended that the camera not be networked via DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). If the camera is networked via DHCP, connection to the camera may not be made properly depending on changes in the external network environment.

- DHCP Server: It makes the NVR run as a DHCP server. Check if there is another DHCP server on the same network. If there is no DHCP server, this option is enabled. The NVR allocates an IP address automatically in the range of 10.10.0.128 to 10.10.254.254 by using DHCP to the camera connected to the NVR's VIDEO IN port. On DHCP Server, Video In Network is connected between NVR and network cameras only, so Gateway does not have any meaning. Subnet Mask is 255.255.0.0(Class B).

Costar CR4020XDI - Part 1 - Getting Started - 6

- When several NVRs exist in the same network, only one of NVRs has to be run as a DHCP server. If several DHCP servers are running, the redundant IP may be allocated to the camera. - The range of 10.10.0.1 to 10.10.0.127 is not recommended because NVR system already has the IP address.

Do not disconnect the USB cable or power off the USB device while USB Clip Copy is in progress. Doing so can cause the NVR to malfunction or critically damage the external USB device's file system. You may be prompted with an error message when trying to back up on the device. If so, you will need to restart the NVR. If the USB hard disk's file system has been damaged, restarting the NVR will not solve the problem and the aforementioned error message will continue to be displayed each time you attempt a backup. If this is the case, you will need to format the HDD or use a recovery program to repair the damage to the drive's file system.

Selected record channels are searched for events with at least one linked recording. If no camera is selected, only the events with no linked recording camera are searched.

If the system's clock is changed to a point in the past, overlapping recordings may be produced. Overlapped recordings have to be searched in segments.

For example, making a recording from 1 o'clock to 5 o'clock, changing the system's clock at 5 o'clock to 3 o'clock, and then continuing to record until 6 o'clock produces two recordings that overlap between 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock. This results in two segments for the period between 3 and 5.
