Strong recommendation on installation of the DVR unit  
1. Verify that the electricity at the place you want to install the DVR unit is stable and meets  
our electrical requirements.  
Unstable electricity can cause malfunction of the unit or cause critical damage to the unit.  
Notice: We also STRONGY recommend that you plug the DVR and cameras into a  
Transient Voltage Surge Protector (UL-1449 rating). Look for a clamping voltage of  
330 or lower, Joule rating of at least 400, and a response time of 10 nanoseconds or  
less.  
2. Several chips on the main board of the DVR unit and hard drive inside the unit generate  
heat and it must be properly discharged.  
Do not put any objects near the exhaust port (fan) on the left side of the unit and do not  
block the opening (fresh air in-take) on the right side of the unit..  
3. Put the DVR unit in a well-ventilated place and do not put heat-generating objects on the  
unit. When it is installed inside 19 inch mounting racks together with other devices check  
that the built-in ventilation fan of the rack is properly running.

6.4 Alarm Recording  
Alarm recording is not started by manually pressing the Record button, it is automatically  
activated once Schedule mode is enabled. Alarm recording can be activated by alarm input signal  
or motion, if the connection of alarm input equipment is correct, stable and reliable, and the alarm  
settings are correct. For recording to be activated by exterior input signal or motion detection the  
system must be set to Schedule Mode active and that period is set to “A” in Record Schedule  
setup. You must also set the menu of Alarm Setup for exterior input alarm, and the alarm enable  
setting of that channel must be set to “ON”. For Motion Alarm, the motion enable setting of that  
channel must set “ON”, and set the area for motion detection must be set. If Schedule mode is

Alarm Recording setup before recording; confirm the video quality and the frame rate, as the  
record setting can’t be changed during the recording process. As long as the alarm input signal is

and when the outside the time period the alarm recording automatically stops.

11. Internet View/Playback Configurations  
11.1 About Networks  
Users will generally use the following network types and hardware:  
1): Local Area Network (LAN): An internal network usually operated via a hub, a switch, or a router and  
will usually operate within an office or household via wireless or Ethernet cable connections.  
2): DSL (or ADSL): This is a specific type of broadband Internet access obtained by connecting a DSL  
or ADSL modem (or modem/router) to a normal telephone cable, and setting up an Internet account  
with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) such as AT&T or AOL.  
3): Port Forwarding: This allows external connections to pass through security settings on routers and  
firewall devices. Ports need to be allows in, and then directed to the specific IP address of the  
computer or device that the connection is intending to reach.  
4): Router: This is a device that connects 2 separate networks (most commonly a LAN to the Internet)  
and comes with built in security options and allows multiple devices to connect to a LAN and gain  
Internet access (if the router is connected to a modem).  
11.2 Network Configurations  
After connecting to Internet, DVR users should make the following configurations to make remote  
view/playback.  
1): When in LAN, network administrators should open the following ports for specifics computers:  
5000- 5002. Please make sure that the other services don't use the same ports.  
2): In case users use ADSL network and the surveillance system computer connect to the ADSL  
MODEM, then the ports have all opened by default. If not, please close fire wall by guidance of the  
ADSL MODEM user's manual.  
48  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
3): In case you connect to Internet by proxy server, users should utilize port mapping software and  
open ports 5000, 5001, and 5002 for the surveillance computer.  
4): In case users connect to Internet by router, then users should add the IP address of the  
surveillance computer and open the above mentioned ports in DMZ setup or Virtual Server setup (the  
names maybe different in various other kinds of routers) of the router.  
5): For CABLE MODEM type and ADSL MODEM type, the configurations are similar to the images  
below:  
49  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
As ADSL and CABLE MODEM network users usually use dynamic IP address, so once the MODEM  
restarts, the IP addresses will change. For this situation, users should apply for DNS services.  
To use the Swann DVRs with remote viewing capabilities you may have to “open“ ports on your  
Windows® Firewall, your Software Firewall or on the Broadband Router/Modem that you use to  
connect to the Internet. Please consult the documentation or help files on the relevant software or  
system for instructions on how to do this. To successfully access your cameras from the Internet you  
will need to have allowed access to and from the following ports from an outside connection. This  
process is also called “Port Forwarding” or creating a “Virtual Server” connection.  
Once you have correctly forwarded the ports, please check to see what your external IP address is  
you must do this on the server machine to find the correct external IP of the router.)  
You may also have to place the IP address of the Swann DVR in the “DMZ” of your Firewall to enable  
the remote viewing interface. Information on how to do this should be detailed in the documentation  
covering operation of your Firewall.  
As ADSL and CABLE MODEM network users usually use a dynamic IP address, once the MODEM  
restarts, the IP addresses can change. Users can opt for a static IP address which does not change by
