Software Version
The Software Version on a DVR is the current software that the DVR is using to operate. Some may refer to this as a Firmware Version.
SSL
SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer. It is used as an encryption format for any sensitive information. Most DVR systems will use this in the email section of the DVR.

Static IP Address
IP addresses are assigned to a host either anew at the time of booting or permanently by fixed configuration of it’s hardware or software. Persistent configuration is also known as using a static IP address.
Subnet Mask
A subnetwork, or subnet, is a logically visible subdivision of an IP network. The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks called subnetting. In IPv4,, the routing prefix is also specified in the form of the subnet mask which is expressed in quad-dotted decimal representation like an address. For example, 255.255.255.0 is the network mask for the 192.168.1.0/24 prefix.
Switch
A device which takes a single network IP address and spreads it across multiple devices giving them access to the network. A DVR can not be used with a switch as it requires its own individual IP address.
