NOTE: THE DEFAULT IP ADDRESS IS 192.168.1.108

THE NEW IP ADDRESS SHOULD REFLECT THE LOCAL NETWORK SCHEME.
If the IP address does not change after setting the DVR to DHCP. Check the network by opening a Command prompt window (Search > CMD) using a PC.
Type IPCONFIG, the first 3 digits of the PC IP address should match the DVR NEW IP ADDRESS. If these numbers do not match, troubleshoot cabling and network ports on the switch or router.
