Main Stream
Main stream refers to the primary stream that aects data recorded to the hard disk drive
and will directly determine your video quality and image size. Comparing with the sub-
stream, the main stream provides a higher quality video with higher resoluon and frame
rate.
Sub-Stream
Sub-stream is a second codec that runs alongside the mainstream. It allows you to reduce the
outgoing internet bandwidth without
sacricing your direct recording quality. Sub-stream is
oen exclusively used by smartphone applicaons to view live video. Users with limited
internet speeds may benet most from this seng.
Frame Rate
Frame rate refers to how many frames are captured each second. A higher frame rate is
advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality
throughout.
Resoluon
Image resoluon is a measure of how much detail a digital image can hold: the greater the
resoluon, the greater the level of detail. Resoluon can be specied as the number of pixel-
columns (width) by the number of pixel-rows (height), e.g.,1024×768.
Bitrate
The bit rate (in Kbit/s or Mbit/s) is
oen referred to as speed, but actually denes the number
of bits/me unit and not distance/me unit.
Note
Higher resoluon, frame rate, and bitrate provide you beer video quality, but it also requires
more internet bandwidth and uses more storage space on the hard disk drive.

TCP/IP must be properly congured before you operate video recorder over network.
Steps
1.
Go to Conguraon → Network → General → TCP/IP .
2.
Congure network parameters.
Working Mode
Mul-address Mode
The parameters of the two NIC cards can be congured independently. You can select
LAN1 or LAN2 in the NIC type
eld for parameter sengs. You can select one NIC card as
default route. And then the system is connecng with the extranet and the data will be
forwarded through the default route.
Net-fault Tolerance Mode
The two NIC cards use the same IP address, and you can select the Main NIC to LAN1 or
LAN2. By this way, in case of one NIC card failure, the video recorder will automacally
enable the other standby NIC card so as to ensure the normal running of the whole
system.
Load Balance Mode
By using the same IP address and two NIC cards share the load of the total bandwidth,
which enables the system to provide two Gigabit network capacity.
Note
Working mode is only available for certain models.
NIC Type
Select NIC type as your desire. If your device supports Wi-Fi dongle funcon, the NIC of Wi-Fi
dongle would be selectable
aer a suitable Wi-Fi dongle is installed.
DHCP
If the DHCP server is available, you can check Enable DHCP to automacally obtain an IP
address and other network sengs from that server.
MTU
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the size of the largest network layer protocol data
unit that can be communicated in a single network
transacon.
Default Route
Select a route as your desire. If your device supports Wi-Fi dongle funcon, the route of Wi-Fi
dongle would be selectable aer a suitable Wi-Fi dongle is installed.

Alarm Host IP/Port
The device will send the alarm event or excepon message to the alarm host when an alarm is
triggered. The remote alarm host must have the client management system (CMS)
soware
installed.
Alarm Host IP refers to the IP address of the remote PC on which the CMS soware (e.g.,
iVMS-4200) is installed, and the Alarm Host Port (7200 by default) must be the same as the
alarm monitoring port
congured in the soware.
Server Port
For remote client soware access. Ranges from 2000 to 65535. The default value is 8000.
HTTP Port
For remote web browser access. The default value is 80.
Mulcast IP
Mulcast can be congured to enable live view for cameras that exceed the maximum number
allowed through network. A
mulcast IP address covers Class-D IP ranging from 224.0.0.0 to
239.255.255.255 and it is recommended to use the IP address ranging from 239.252.0.0 to
239.255.255.255.
When adding a device to the CMS
soware, the mulcast address must be the same as that of
the device.
RTSP Port
RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) is a network control protocol designed for use in
entertainment and
communicaons systems to control streaming media servers. The port is 554
by default.
Output Bandwidth Limit
You can check the checkbox to enable output bandwidth limit.

Congure Recording Parameter
Steps

parameters.
2.
Congure recording parameters.
Main Stream
Main stream refers to the primary stream that
aects data recorded to the hard disk drive
and will directly determine your video quality and image size. Comparing with the sub-
stream, the main stream provides a higher quality video with higher
resoluon and frame
rate.
Sub-Stream
Sub-stream is a second codec that runs alongside the mainstream. It allows you to reduce the
outgoing internet bandwidth without
sacricing your direct recording quality. Sub-stream is
oen exclusively used by smartphone applicaons to view live video. Users with limited
internet speeds may
benet most from this seng.
Frame Rate
Frame rate refers to how many frames are captured each second. A higher frame rate is
advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality
throughout.
Resoluon
Network Video Recorder User Manual
72

Image resoluon is a measure of how much detail a digital image can hold: the greater the
resoluon, the greater the level of detail. Resoluon can be specied as the number of pixel-
columns (width) by the number of pixel-rows (height), for example, 1024 × 768.
Bitrate
The bit rate (in Kbit/s or Mbit/s) is oen referred to as speed, but actually denes the number
of bits/me unit and not distance/me unit.
Enable H.264+/Enable H.265+
The H.264+/H.265+ mode helps to ensure the high video quality with a lowered bitrate. It can
eecvely reduce the need of bandwidth and HDD storage space.
Enable Low Bitrate Mode
In order to save device bandwidth or memory, the device would automacally adjust camera
video main stream bitrate according to your network
condion.
Note
Low bitrate mode is only available for certain camera models. If your camera supports this
funcon, it would be enabled by default.
