Fixed Local Network Address and Domain Name System (DNS) STEP 5 Static Internal IP (Network) Address Most routers assign connected devices a random IP address that is not currently in use by another device on your internal network. With the exception of 2Wire brand routers, when a router or networked device reboots due to a power loss or other issue, the addresses will change and the port forwarding configuration will no longer work. For that reason, we recommend changing your NVR's network setting to a fixed, or "static" IP address which will not change. Return to the Network Menu. Uncheck the box marked DHCP (A). Click Save. Proceed to Step 6 without closing the window.

Fixed Local Network Address and Domain Name System (DNS)
Most routers assign connected devices a random IP
address that is not currently in use by another device on
your internal network. With the exception of 2Wire brand
routers, when a router or networked device reboots due to
a power loss or other issue, the addresses will change and
the port forwarding configuration will no longer work. For
that reason, we recommend changing your NVR’s network
setting to a fixed, or “static” IP address which will not
change.
STEP 6
Domain Name System (DNS)
DNS enables you to take advantage of additional features including the
ability to access your NVR using a conventional domain name and having
your system send out e-mail alerts.
To access these functions, you will need to enter the DNS number that you
obtained from your router in
Step 4
into the Preferred DNS box (
B
) into the
Network Menu
. Each block of numbers (between the periods) must be entered
individually using the
Virtual Keyboard
(right) as described on the
Quick Start
Poster
that also came with your NVR.
Once you have entered the DNS number, click
Save
.
Close the window.
