Setup is easy, using the server's LCD display, which also shows how many cameras are connected as well as the network parameters, including IP address, subnet mask and gateway address. Connect your Lorex module to a spare LAN port on your broadband router (sold separately) using the supplied network cable. You'll be able to set up and configure your camera and PC to be able to view the video images from within your Local Area Network (LAN) with the included software that allows you to view and record the video images from the Lorex module cameras on your PC. Use the included Lorex Player software to select camera servers and individual cameras, to control cameras, and to view, record and access video content. The Lorex Player software creates an event log, notating such events as connecting to or disconnecting from a camera, recording or stopping the recording of a camera's video, and the accessing of archived materials. Take advantage of the system's motion detection feature. When in the motion-detection mode, the camera will capture images or video and can send them to either the email account or accounts you specify or to an FTP server. Since recording and viewing is done over your PC, you'll be able to save this data for future viewing. Capture a single frame of video or all video recorded. You'll be able to look back through the video archives, locating specific video by date or by glancing at a log created of motion-triggered events. Additional viewing options include slow or fast playback and frame-by-frame viewing. By registering to use a Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) service, you'll be able to locate your home network from any location. Most routers can be set up so that you'll be able to access LAN devices remotely in order to access the video stream and view video images.
