General
ABUS embedded recorders are compatible with a
variety of cameras and additional components. Check
the compatibility with your device and limitations to the
use of the components before use.
Some functions of this recorder (firmware) depend on
the connected devices (e.g. fisheye view of
hemispheric cameras or PTZ cameras).
Please keep in mind that older devices may not be
supported or may be only partially supported.

Pre-play storage
Unlike flexible PC systems, embedded recorders have
a hardware configuration which is tailored to their
intended purpose. As a consequence, the desired
recording schedule cannot always be achieved in the
special case of pre-play recordings. The available
working memory is a crucial parameter for the pre-play
recording schedule. Depending on the model,
embedded recorders have between 512 MB–2 GB of
working memory to manage all the background
processes of all cameras. In order to create pre-play
recordings, the information for each individual camera,
depending on the resolution, bitstream settings and
pre-play schedule, must be permanently kept in the
memory. A pre-alarm memory of a few seconds is
already hard to achieve with the use of 1080p
cameras. The higher the resolution of the cameras and
the more cameras connected to the recorder, the lower
the chance of having enough memory ready for all
cameras. Due to the variety of models and
configuration settings, as well as the complexity of the
evaluation of current scenes, we cannot provide a
reliable value for the pre-alarm memory. As a result,
we recommend using continuous recording for critical
cameras and then using the Smart Search to easily
filter out events.

In order to display the IP camera video streams
(including live images and the playback of recordings)
via the local video output on the recorder
(VGA/HDMI/BNC), the digitally compressed data from
the recorder must be “decoded”. This process requires
processing power on the recorder sufficient for the
camera’s resolution. The higher the resolution and
bitrate of the camera stream, the higher the required
processing power on the recorder for the decoding
process.

Compatibility
Warning
When problems/limitations in the local live image
view occur when the device is operating, bear this
information in mind.
If the number of camera streams to be displayed
exceeds the decoding performance of the recorder, the
following notification will appear on the monitor:
NO RESOURCE
For this reason, the substream of each camera will be
displayed automatically in the multi-view live views with
more than 4 channels (greater than 2x2). The
substream of a camera is therefore usually set to 720p
or lower.
In the playback view, the cameras will be played in
their respective recording quality (main stream).
Depending on the application and camera type, it is
possible that not all cameras will be able to be
displayed at once. As such, you should split up the
cameras into different views in order to avoid any
limitations.
Note
The NVR systems NVR10010, NVR10020,
NVR10030 and NVR10040 have a decoding
performance of 16 x 1080p.
The following stream configurations are possible for
local image output:
64 cameras
16 cameras
8 cameras
4 cameras
During remote playback by browser, CMS software or
app, the remote device undertakes the decoding
process (in order to display the images on the PC
monitor/smartphone) and therefore does not impact on
the processing power of the recorder.

Description
External I/O connections and wiring
General
The ABUS embedded recorders are equipped with
external interfaces for the control of alarm contacts, PTZ
cameras, keyboards and audio devices. The structure
level of the connections depends on the recorder model.
The larger the structure level of the recorder, the more
connections are normally present on the device.
Note
In your recorder’s quickstart manual or at
http://www.abus.com, you will find an exact listing
of the external interfaces in the technical data.
Audio connections/2-way audio
The audio connections on the recorder are only used for
remote 2-way audio communication via a network
connection. This can take place via the web interface on
the recorder, via the ABUS CMS software or via the iDVR
Plus app. The system configuration for this purpose is as
follows:

Alarm inputs
The alarm inputs on the recorder are used for event
control via externally wired detectors (door contacts,
motion detector, smoke detector, light barriers, etc.). On
the recorder side, the inputs can be used to activate a
recording, alert via CMS or send an alarm email, among
other things. The alarm inputs are purely switch contacts
(Normally Open/Normally Closed) which must not be
voltage controlled.
Depending on the recorder model,
1–16 inputs are available. First,
plug the detector contact in an
open input (IN1-16) and then
connect the grounding contact (G).
Connect more detectors in the
same way:
IN1 G
IN2 G

It does not matter whether you
connect all detectors to one

RS-485 output (NVR10030/NVR10040)
The RS-485 output on the recorder is used to control
analogue PTZ cameras.
IP cameras with an integrated PTZ function are fully
controlled via the network.
The use of the interface is intended as an alternative for
the use of IP cameras with external motor control.
Alarm outputs
The alarm outputs on the recorder are used for the action
control of externally wired devices/actuators (sirens,
lamps, door openers, etc.). The alarm output switching
takes place via integrated relays on the recorder. In order
to prevent damaging the relay/recorder, the device’s
maximum switching power must not exceed the specified
values of 12 V / 1 A.

Connect the PTZ control by using

Keyboard output
The keyboard output on the recorder is used to control

Introduction
General information
This handbook describes the commissioning and use of
the ABUS embedded recorder via the local user
interface.
For this purpose, the recorder must be connected to a
monitor using the VGA/HDMI interface. During
operation, use the USB mouse which was included in
the scope of delivery.
We recommend that you complete the initial setup using
the local interface in order to set up basic settings like
the network address and the hard disc drive
configuration.
Introduction
1. During the start-up procedure, the device carries
out a self-test (blue LED will blink).
2. The start-up procedure is complete when the
blue LED is lit continuously.
3. Subsequently, the setup wizard (during the first
system start) or the live image display of the
cameras that have been set up will appear (after
the setup wizard has been completed
successfully).
On-screen keyboard
If you click with the mouse in a text input field, the onscreen keyboard appears:
For simple figure input, the following on-screen keyboard
appears:
Note
Before the initial commissioning, make sure that
both the recorder and the IP cameras are
connected using the same network.
Note
Make sure that the recorder is connected directly

quality with which it was recorded according to the
settings of the network camera.
Note
Adjust the quality settings of the camera
accordingly in the menu under “Settings
Recording Parameters”. In general, the
camera’s “main stream” will be recorded on the
recorder.
The playback view is divided into several functional areas
(playback type) in order to enable a targeted data

event is present in the time period.
Note
Smart Search is not supported by all cameras.
Check the compatibility list at the beginning of
these instructions.
Audio control
Adjust the audio output of the selected camera here. In
the case of multiple selection (2 or more cameras play
back simultaneously), the red tag (red frame around the

playback is from. Only one camera’s audio playback can
be played at a time.
Warning
