The best thing you can do is to go into the network option for the dvr, set it to "obtain ip address automatically" and either restart it/unplug it etc and when it comes back up you'll see it has got a new ip address in the range specified by the router and the correct subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Your cameras will be set to the same by default.

Max is correct, though an easier thing to do would be to just set the DVR to use an IP address that's on the same subnet. Letting it pick one up automatically means it might move around, but you can safely set it to something like 192.168.0.250 and it's unlikely to conflict (unless you have 250+ devices on your network in which case you're far better off getting a standalone router where you can change the subnet mask).
