172 VideoEdge NVR 4.4 Installation and User Manual

LAN 1 - Connects the NVR to the network with client PCs. Client PCs typically access the NVR

through this port.

Note

LAN 1’s default IP Address for an NVR supplied as a hardware and software bundle is

10.10.10.10.

LAN 2 - Connects the camera network to the NVR. With this architecture, the NVR acts as a

firewall between users and the cameras.

The users do not have direct access to the cameras on

LAN 2 and must access the NVR in order

to view and configure the cameras. As the LAN 2 cameras are not on the main network, they use

less network bandwidth from the main network.

In this example DHCP is enabled on LAN 2 so that th

e NVR can automatically assign IP

addresses to cameras that are added to LAN 2. The NVR can have DHCP enabled for each of its

NIC’s.

LAN 3 - Connect

s network storage devices to the NVR.

Caution

Connecting an NVR running a DHCP server to a network that already has a DHCP server can disrupt

network service on that network.

If you have more than one NVR on LAN 2, you will need to disable DHCP on all but one of the LAN

2 NVRs, so that cameras are receiving IP Addresses from only one DHCP server. To disable the

DHCP on LAN 2, you will need to log into the NVR, refer to Procedure 16-9 Editing the DHCP

Server Settings on page 180

Note

When the NVR is supplied as a hardware and software bundle only LAN 1 will be enabled, all

other NIC’s will be disabled.

General Network Settings

The General Network page provides you the option to edit the basic connection settings for the

NVR network and to enable/disable its NTP functionality. These settings include; Domain Name,

Domain Name Servers, Default Gateway, RTSP Port, NTP Status and NTP Servers.
