The default value is 07. 5) SS (Spatial Sensitivity) SS is to set the sensitivity for detecting the size of one object (the number of the grids) on the screen. The smaller the value is, the higher sensitivity for motion detection. The highest sensitivity setting is 00, and the lowest sensitivity setting is 15. The default setting is 03. Note: The default setting of SS is 03, which means once an object is detected more than 3 grids, the system will get triggered. So the value of SS must be less than the number of grids that you set up for the motion detection area. 6) TS (Time of Sensitivity) TS is to set the sensitivity regarding how long one object stays in the detection area and triggers the recording. The smaller the value is, the higher sensitivity for motion detection. The highest sensitivity setting is 00, and the lowest sensitivity setting is 15. The default setting is 02. 7) RE (Reference) RE is to set a reference for detection. The default value is 10, which means the DVR will compare 10 continuous images at one time according to the sensitivity of LS, SS, TS simultaneously. The bigger the value is, the higher sensitivity for motion detection. The highest sensitivity is 61.

Web Port Static IP
Description
Typically, the default TCP port used by HTTP is 80. However, in some cases, it is better to change this port number for added flexibility or security. The valid web port number ranges from 1 to 9999. Computers are communicated and recognized by their own unique IP addresses over the Internet. Static IP provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) means the IP address of the computer is fixed. Key in the server IP address, gateway and network information provided by your ISP provider to configure a static IP network connection. PPPOE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Users can easily have the Internet service as long as theyre ready for the following things: 1) Insert an Ethernet card into the PC. 2) Obtain the ADSL service via any ISP. 3) Obtain and install the PPPOE software CD. When everything is ready, choose the PPPOE IP type, and key in the user name and password provided by your ISP. Then, select Network DDNS to set DDNS settings. For detailed DDNS settings, please refer to DDNS at page 39.
