            • No Record: A time slot marked black means that there is no recording scheduled for the time slot.

However, if the lP address of the NVR is assigned by a DHCP server. However in this case, each time you reboot the NVR, the lP address will changes. ln this case, ask if your lSP can provide you a static lP address. lf not, then you would need to configure the DDNS service.
