You need to be a manager to do that. It is under the system config menu - "Split Mode Switch" - an interesting name, isn't it?

Almost all standalone DVRs write setting in the flash memory and auto recover. Standalone normally means work as long as power is on. The operation systems they use generally speaking are various types of realtime operation system, not like the "MS Windows" on which most of the PC systems are built on. (Of course, some of them are trying to move on to Linux) Thus, on the issue of breaking down, standalone and PC-based all have their shares.

ICRealtime's DVRs can control the monitor output remotely from Web interface or Remote Monitor software. You can switch from multiplexed views (4, 6, 9, 16 windows) to individual cameras, the same way as you are using the front panel of the DVR.

Yeah, the newest firmware for this linksys router has most the problems. Try to use other brands, I personally like Belkin. (used to use only Netgear - but the new ones were designed like people from out of this world, especially the software)

Each DVR has its own IP address (internal ip, that is). the router or modem has the external IP. All internet traffic goes to the router/modem first, then the router uses the port to decide where it will forward the data to.

My personal experience, sort of. July 2005, I had to travel to Houston to help an installation in one of the biggest financial companies' main building. While in the security control room, my counterpart in Houston suddenly started cursing. He pointed to the big wall full of screens: look at that dame thing, it happened again!!! It turned out the 3rd DM unit he installed in the same week freezed in front of all of us. I asked where the other two were. "I dumped #$%@ into a box and am still waiting somebody to get them". Last I heard was that he switched to another brand and never looked back. The End.
