NETWORK SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
Using the TCP/IP protocol, up to five DX8000 Series DVRs can be networked together for remote viewing and management. In addition,
up to five simultaneous PC, web, and mobile clients can connect to each DVR. The DX8000 Series DVR supports both static IP
addressing and dynamic addressing through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Consult your network administrator for more
information regarding IP address configuration.
NOTE: The system must be turned on, connected to a network, and you must be logged in with either Power User or
Administrator access to configure network software settings.
