When using remote control of the device and surveil-
lance over your server
Note
Please read the following basic instructions before
setting up the device.
Terms and definitions
An overview of relevant terms when using the device in a
network can be found below.
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.
Parameter
Setting
IP address
An IP address is the unique address of a
network device within a network.
This address may only appear once with-
in a network. Certain IP address ranges
are reserved for public networks (e.g. the
Internet).
Private
address
range
e.g. 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Subnet
mask
A subnet mask is a bit mask used for
making decisions and assignments dur-
ing routing.
255.255.255.0 is the standard subnet
mask in home networks.
Gateway
A gateway is a network device which al-
lows 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 as-
signing a unique IP address to a web ad-
dress 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 cor-
responding IP address of the server and
forwards the query on.
The IP of the provider’s DNS can be en-
tered 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.

Configuration
85
Port
A port is an interface used for communi-
cation by different programs. Certain
ports are fixed (23: Telnet, 21: FTP),
whilst others can be freely selected.
Ports are important for different applica-
tions (e.g. external access to the device
over a browser).
MAC
address
The MAC address (Media Access Con-
trol or Ethernet ID) is the specific hard-
ware 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 the connections on page 62).
Note
Pay attention to the specific information and in-
structions on the network devices.
Several switches, routers and access points can be con-
nected to each other. Firewalls and other security soft-
ware 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, chang-
ing passwords, changing ports)!

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 us-
ing the safety switch.
Do not move the device immediately after switching it off. To move the device, carry out the following steps:
1. Wait until OFF has been shown on the display for at least two minutes.
2. Remove the mains plug from the socket.
3. 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.
