9.3.6 Configuring NAT

Purpose:

Two ways are provided for port mapping to realize the remote access via the cross-segment network, UPnP ^™ and manual mapping.

• UPnP ^TM

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) can permit the device seamlessly discover the presence of other network devices on the network and establish functional network services for data sharing, communicaons, etc. You can use the UPnP™ funcon to enable the fast conncon of the device to the WAN via a router without port mapping.

Before you start:

If you want to enable the UPnP™ funcon of the device, you must enable the UPnP™ funcon of the router to which your device is connected. When the network working mode of the device is set as mul-address, the Default Route of the device should be in the same network segment as that of the LAN IP address of the router.

Step 1 Go to Menu > Conguraon > Network.

2) If the HDD is not detected or the status is "Abnormal", please replace the dedicated HDD according to the requirement.

Step 4 Check if the fault is solved by the step 1 to step 3.

If it is solved, nish the process.

If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.

The status of the added IP camera displays as “Disconnected” when it is connected through Private Protocol. Select “Menu>Camera>Camera>IP Camera” to get the camera status.

Possible Reasons

a) Network failure, and the NVR and IP camera lost connecons.
b) The congured parameters are incorrect when adding the IP camera.
c) Insucient bandwidth.

Step 1 Verify the network is connected.

1) Connect the NVR and PC with the RS-232 cable.
2) Open the Super Terminal soware, and execute the ping command. Input "ping IP" (e.g. ping 172.6.22.131).

Simultaneously press Ctrl and C to exit the ping command.

If there exists return informaon and the me value is lile, the network is normal.

Step 2 Verify the conguraon parameters are correct.

3) Select "Menu>Camera>Camera>IP Camera".
4) Verify the following parameters are the same with those of the connected IP devices, including IP address, protocol, management port, user name and password.

Step 3 Verify the whether the bandwidth is enough.

1) Select "Menu >Maintenance >Net Detect >Network Stat.".
2) Check the usage of the access bandwidth, and see if the total bandwidth has reached its limit.

Step 4 Check if the fault is solved by the step 1 to step 3.

If it is solved, nish the process.

If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.

The IP camera frequently goes online and oine and the status of it displays as "Disconnected".

Possible Reasons

a) The IP camera and the NVR versions are not compatible.
b) Unstable power supply of IP camera.
c) Unstable network between IP camera and NVR.
d) Limited ow by the switch connected with IP camera and NVR.

Step 1 Verify the IP camera and the NVR versions are compatible.

No monitor connected with the NVR locally and when you manage the IP camera to connect with the device by web browser remotely, of which the status displays as Connected. And then

you connect the device with the monitor via VGA or HDMI ^TM interface and reboot the device, there is black screen with the mouse cursor.

Connect the NVR with the monitor before startup via VGA or HDMI™ interface, and manage the IP camera to connect with the device locally or remotely, the status of IP camera displays as Connect.

Possible Reasons:

Aer connecng the IP camera to the NVR, the image is output via the main spot interface by default.

Step 1 Enable the output channel.

Step 2 Select "Menu > Conguraon > Live View > View", and select video output interface in the drop-down list and conjure the window you want to view.

i NOTE

● The view settings can only be congured by the local operaon of NVR.
- Dierent camera orders and window-division modes can be set for different output interfaces separately, and digits like "D1" and "D2" stands for the channel number, and "X" means the selected window has no image output.

Step 3 Check if the fault is solved by the above steps.

If it is solved, nish the process.

If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.

Live view stuck when video output locally.

Possible Reasons:

When using the NVR to get the live view audio, there is no sound or there is too much noise, or the volume is too low.

Possible Reasons:

a) Cable between the pickup and IP camera is not connected well; impedance mismatches or incompatible.
b) The stream type is not set as "Video & Audio".
c) The encoding standard is not supported with NVR.

Step 1 Verify the cable between the pickup and IP camera is connected well; impedance matches and compatible.

Log in the IP camera directly, and turn the audio on, check if the sound is normal. If not, please contact the manufacturer of the IP camera.

Step 2 Verify the seng parameters are correct.

Select "Menu > Record > Parameters > Record", and set the Stream Type as "Audio & Video".

Step 3 Verify the audio encoding standard of the IP camera is supported by the NVR.

NVR supports G722.1 and G711 standards, and if the encoding parameter of the input audio is not one of the previous two standards, you can log in the IP camera to conjure it to the supported standard.

Step 4 Check if the fault is solved by the above steps.

If it is solved, nish the process.

If not, please contact the engineer from our company to do the further process.

The image gets stuck when NVR is playing back by single or mul-channel.
