After the successful application, user can access the device from the IT client by inputting that domain name.

1. Domain name Registration (http://provision.isr.dns.com)

Note: DDNS is used to register for a hostname with DDNS username and password.

Provision ISR now allows you to use our mint DDNS server in order to create a virtual address for your DVR on the Internet. Each account can create up to 35 different addresses using your preferred domain name address instead of using IP addresses. Follow the steps below to register your DVR's name and to configure your DVR to use Provision ISR's Mint DDNS server.

(a) To register a domain with Provision-ISR DDNS server follow these steps.

11 Visit our website: http://provision-ist-dns.com

2) Fill in the registration form, then click "Submit"

3) Fill in the host name you want to apply for and press "Request Domain" (for example "home")

4) If there is no problem with the domain registration you will see the following message: "Your domain was successfully created."

If you do not see this message, the domain name you requested is already in use and you will be requested to provide an alternate domain name (please note: domain name is sometimes called host name).

You can create up to 35 domain records under a single account

5) The domain name is added at the beginning of your DVR's address, for example the domain "home" will appear as home-provision-bri-dns.com.

(b) Setting up your DVR to work with the DDNS server

1) The DONS server will work only if the three steps are completed; (1) domain registration, (2) correct network configuration with correct

2) On the DVR Under Main menu => Settings => "Config" => "Network" set the correct DNS servers;

For example take a look at the correct settings on the figure below; the router's IP address is 10.0.0.138, the e-mail account registered is [e-mail], and the host domain registered is "home.provision-ir-sr-dns.com".

3) As shown on figure above: Check the "DDNS" check box, select "minutes" for DDNS type, and fill in all the other fields.
4) Make sure you have the preferred & alternate DNS servers filled in (under the "Network" settings section): the preferred server should be the Internet gateway and the alternate server should be a different DNS server—for example one of Google's DNS servers (IP 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4)
5) Click the "Test" button

a. If the test succeeds click the "Apply" button

b. If the test fails check all fields again or call the support helpline

6) Now you can access the DVR using the DDNS (http://home.provision-isi-dns.com)

Appendix B: Calculate Recording Capacity

You can calculate the size of hard disk according to the storage time and NVR recording settings. The formula is as follows in full frame rate condition. Used space per hour (M3/h) = 0 trate(kbps) ÷ 8 × 3600 ÷ 1024. The below are the details at different settings.

Resolution	Frame Rate	Bit Rate (kHz)	Used Space(MPa)
5MP2000P	30fps (INTC)	17M	5400
		8M	2000
		7M	3150
		5M	2250
		4M	2600
700P2000P5MP	30fps (INTC)	6M	2700
	10fps (INTC)	4M	1600
	15fps (INTC)	2M	900
		3M	450
		15G	118

The calculation format is: Total Recording capacity = Used space per hour (MB/h) (coverage rate of hard disk) × recording time (hour) × channel numbers

For instance, one customer sets resolution to 1080P, frame rate to 15fps, hit rate to 4M and enables total 4 channels. He wants the unit to record continuously in a month. Below is the calculation:

Total Recoding capacity =900 (mb/h) X 24(hours/day) X30(days) X4 (channels) = 2592000 (MB) = 2531.25(GB). Therefore, customers just install one SATA HDDs with 310, it can almost record for one month.
