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 (21: Telnet, 23: FTP), 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.

Parameter Setting
NIC Type	Set the transmission speed of the installed network card here.Tip: 10M/100M/1000M
DHCP Check	the box if the IP addresses are assigned dynamically via DHCP in the network.DHCP activated: Subsequent entry fields are inactive (parameters assigned via DHCP).Note:If the IP addresses are assigned manually, ensure that DHCP is not active (box not checked).
IP Address	Address of the network device in the network (manual assignment)
Subnet Mask	Usually 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway	Address of the gateway for Internet access
Preferred DNS Server	Address of the Domain Name Server (usually the IP address of the gateway)
Alternate DNS Server	IP address of the alternative DNS server
MAC Address	Hardware address of the installed network card

Advanced network configuration

Specify further parameters for the network configuration in the "Advanced" tab.

Parameter Setting
PPPOE PPPOE	E is used on ADSL connections and when using modems in Germany.Click on “Set” to enter the access data (ID and password) for your provider.

Information on handling batteries

• Always insert batteries with the cor rect polarity. Never attempt to recharge the batteries supplied and do not throw them into naked flames under any circumstances. Do not use different batteries at the same time (old and new, alkaline and zinc-carbon etc.).
  Remove the batteries if the device is not used for a long period of time. If used improperly, there is a risk of explosion and leaking batteries!
• Take environmental protection into account – used batteries should not be disposed of in domestic waste! They must be taken to a collection point for used batteries.
• Make sure that batteries are kept away from small children. Children may put batteries in their mouths and swallow them. This can cause serious harm to their health. If this happens, consult a doctor immediately.

• Do not charge normal batteries, heat them up or throw them into naked flames (they may explode).

• Change low batteries in good time.

• Always change all the batteries at the same time and use batteries of the same type.

DDNS

Dynamic Domain Name System entry

Network service which provides and updates IP addresses of its clients in a database.

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.
