Network
General information
Correct network settings are essential in the following cases:
- When using network cameras (IP cameras)
- When using remote control of the device and surveillance over your server

Note
Please read the following basic instructions before setting up the device.
A network is a connection of at least two network-capable devices.
Transmission types:
- Wired networks (e.g. CAT5 cable)
• Wireless networks (WLAN)
• Other transmission types (Powerline)
All systems have certain similarities, but can also differ in many ways.
Terms and definitions
An overview of relevant terms when using the device in a network can be found below.
| Parameter Setting | |
| IP address | An IP address is the unique address of a network device within a network.This address may only appear once within a network. Certain IP address ranges are reserved for public networks (e.g. the Internet). |
| Private address range | e.g. 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 |
| Subnet mask | A subnet mask is a bit mask used for making decisions and assignments during routing.255.255.255.0 is the standard subnet mask in home networks. |
| Gateway | A gateway is a network device which allows all other network devices to access the Internet.This can be the computer connected to the DSL modem or – usually – the router or access point within the network. |
| Parameter Setting | |
| Name server | The name server is responsible for assigning a unique IP address to a web address or URL (e.g. www.google.de). Also known as DNS (Domain Name Server).When a domain name is entered into a browser, the DNS searches for the corresponding IP address of the server and forwards the query on.The IP of the provider's DNS can be entered here. However, it is often sufficient to select the IP of the gateway. This then forwards the queries independently to the provider DNS. |
| DHCP | The DHCP server automatically assigns the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and name server to a network device.DHCPs are available in current routers.The DHCP service must be specially set and activated (see the corresponding manual for more information).Note:When using fixed IP addresses and a DHCP server, make sure that the fixed IP addresses are outside the address range assigned by DHCP. Otherwise, problems could occur. |
| Port | A port is an interface used for communication by different programs. Certain ports are fixed (Telnet: 23, FTP: 21), whilst others can be freely selected. Ports are important for different applications (e.g. external access to the device over a browser). |
| MAC address | The MAC address (Media Access Control or Ethernet ID) is the specific hardware address of the network adapter.This is used for the unique identification of the device in a computer network. |
Network layout
The device must be physically connected to the network over a CAT5 cable (see connections on page 3).
Note
Pay attention to the specific information and instructions on the network devices.
Several switches, routers and access points can be connected to each other. Firewalls and other security software can affect the network.

Warning
When using a router, the network clients (e.g. the recorder) can be connected to the Internet and vice versa.
Make sure to use protective measures to prevent unauthorised external access (e.g. firewall, changing passwords, changing ports)!
Network configuration
The device must be configured using the "System Settings" and "Network Settings" menus.

Overview of specialist terms
1080i
HDTV image signal with 1080 pixels and interlaced display.
16:9
Cinematographic aspect ratio on widescreen displays.
720p
HDTV image signal with 1280 x 720 pixels and progressive display.
CIF
Common Intermediate Format
Originally planned for converting PAL to the NTSC standard. CIF corresponds to a video resolution of 352 x 288 pixels (2CIF = 704 x 288 pixels; 4CIF = 704 x 576 pixels).
CINCH
Socket type used for analogue audio or CVBS video signals.
CVBS
Colour, Video, Blank and Sync – The simplest variation of video signals (also known as composite video). The image quality is comparatively low.
DDNS
Dynamic Domain Name System entry

DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Network protocol which allows the automatic connection of devices (clients) in existing networks. DHCP servers (e.g. Internet routers) automatically assign the IP address, network mask, gateway, DNS server and WINS server (when required). Only the automatic acquisition of IP addresses must be activated for the client in this case.
Domain
Name used for the identification of websites on the Internet (e.g. www.abus-sc.de).
Dual Stream
Dual stream is a video transmission method. A high-resolution recording and lower-resolution transmission are made over the network, for example. The main stream has a 4CIF resolution and the sub-stream has a CIF resolution.
DVR
Digital Video Recorder – A device used for recording different video and audio sources (analogue, digital). The data is compressed for recording and saved on hard disk drives (HDD).
H.264
(MPEG-4 AVC) – Standard method for the highly-efficient compression of video signals. Used on Blu-ray discs or video conference systems, for example.
HDD
Hard Disk Drive

NTSC
Standard television format in the USA. The method is different from the European PAL system in certain ways. A full-screen NTSC image is comprised of 480 visible lines and a total of 525 lines. 60 half-images are displayed per second. Compared to PAL, the system is more susceptible to colour errors.
PAL
Phase Alternating Line – European colour TV system. Uses 576 visible image lines. Together with the lines used for signal management, a full-screen image is comprised of 625 lines. 50 half-images are displayed per second. The phase position of the colour signal changes from line to line in the image.
PANEL
Interior of a flatscreen display (e.g. LCD or plasma panels).
PC

SCREEN SIZE
Size of the display from the bottom-left corner to the top-right corner in inches or centimetres.
Browser
Program for viewing websites on the Internet.
USB
Universal Serial Bus
Serial bus connection, used for connecting media whilst in operation. Maximum data rate for USB 2.0: ca. 320 Mbit/s (ca. 40 MB/s).
VGA
Video Graphics Array – Standard interface for analogue video signals in PCs (primarily deals with RGB signals).
ZOLL (inches)
Typical unit of screen size. One inch is equivalent to 2.54 centimetres. The most common sizes of 16:9 displays are 26 inch (66 cm), 32 inch (81 cm), 37 inch (94 cm), 42 inch (106 cm), 50 inch (127 cm) and 65 inch (165 cm).
Internal HDD
The internal hard disk drive (HDD) is very sensitive. Operate the device according to the following instructions in order to avoid drive errors. Important recordings should be backed up on external media to avoid unexpected data loss.

Note
- Do not move the device during operation.
- Moisture inside the device can condense and lead to HDD malfunctions.
- When the device is turned on, never remove the mains plug from the socket or interrupt the power supply using the safety switch.
- Do not move the device immediately after switching it off. To move the device, carry out the following steps:
- Wait until OFF has been shown on the display for at least two minutes.
- Remove the mains plug from the socket.
- Move the device.
- Data on the HDD can be lost in the event of a power failure during operation. Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)!
- The HDD is very sensitive. Improper use or unsuitable surroundings can damage the HDD after some years of use. This may be indicated by the playback stopping unexpectedly or visible “mosaic” effects in the image. In some circumstances, there are no prior signs of a HDD malfunction.
- In the event of a malfunction, no recordings can be played. The HDD must be replaced in this case.
