segments and a red vertical line indicates the selected time that will be played back.  
The color of the bar indicates different types of recording:  
•
•
•
•
Yellow = Pre-Event  
Purple = Event  
Red = Panic  
Blue = Time-Lapse  
If the DVR has more than one video segment in the same time range, each segment will  
be separated by a yellow vertical line.  
Note  
The timetable of the time-lapse search panel will be different  
depending on the model of the remote DVR that is connected

DVR Name Service (DVRNS)  
Using Static IP addresses in LAN/WAN networks requires high management overhead  
and increases the cost burden to users. Therefore, it has become essential for DVRs to  
support Dynamic IP addresses in ADSL/VDSL networks using DHCP (Dynamic Host  
Configuration Protocol). This reduces cost burdens and increases cost-effectiveness  
for system users. Use the following steps to set up a system using DVRNS.
