Go to LAN Settings and you can set an IP reservation for the DVR there.

      Now when I specify the DVR address,  it says devices will be disconnected while router gets a new IP address.  Whats up with that? Or what does that mean?

        It just means when it applies the reserved IP to the device other devices may lose connection briefly but the connection will be restored quite quickly. This is normal.
