1. PRODUCT FEATURES
1.1 Product Introduction
The NVR is a storage media of digital video image, which uses hard disk drives instead of NAS
devices to store video. This storage media provides the user with the power of remote control of the
Internet. It’s an extremely stable and reliable device because it is a stand-alone system. Its local
operations are very similar to the DVR’s interface, hence if the user is familiar with the DVR s/he will
find this media to be most convenient. You don’t need to design any analog lines yourself, just use
the current existing network lines since the device is a digital one. Again, where the NAS is a passive
device, the NVR is an active one, which automatically, instantly and directly detects all events without
having to detour via the LAN Camera like the NAS.
Additionally, with the NVR you don’t have to rely on a PC to save any images, because this device
has done so already, being the best possible storage media for the LAN Camera.

3.4 Updating System Software
If the system software of the NVR-2018 needs to be upgraded, please take the following steps to safely
update it.
Important: Before carrying out the following procedures, please ensure the SD card is working
and the file of system software is intact
1. Create a directory named NVRVIDEO in the SD Card; if the directory is already existed, move to
Step2.
2. Copy the file of
MULTI.BIN to the NVRVIDEO-directory.
3. If NVR is running, please turn off NVR first.
4. Insert the SD card into the built-in SD slot of the unit.
5. Hold down the
Up and Down buttons simultaneously, and then turn on the unit.
6. Keep holding down the buttons until the NVR-2018 sounds a tone and display the message
“
XXXXXX BYTES READ” Now the NVR-2018 is updating the system software, which will take
approximately 60 seconds to process.
7. Restart the unit when the device sounds a tone twice and displays the messages “
END
” and “ PLEASE RESTART”. The process is complete.
PROGRAMMING
(If you have already followed the procedure 1~5. the unit, however, not being able to power on.
Please first check if the SD card you are using is functioning and the file is intact. And then start
procedures 1 ~ 5 all over again.)

4. BASIC OPERATIONS
This section shows you how to operate and manage the NVR when it gets in the way.
4.1 Configuring Recording Settings
Recording Time settings (Image Resolution and Image Quality Setting)
Recording time will vary depending on the image size, quality, and the capacity of the hard-disk drives.
Generally, the NVR comes with a built-in hard-disk drive for continuous recording under most recording
conditions. The table below shows the possible recording times based on a 20GB hard-disk drive at
certain refresh rates and the corresponding image quality. With one or more hard-disk drive(s) in
operation, please calculate the recording time using the table below in accordance with your requirement.
For example, if the unit is set to record images with
normally a 20GB hard-disk drive will be filled in 13 hours (See the gray area in the table). If the total
capacity of 80GB hard-disk drives is in use under the same refresh rate, image resolution and image
quality, it will be filled in 52 hours (4 times the rate of a 20GB hard-disk drive).

10. Index Table
The following description details how the NVR manages an index table issue.
The NVR will generate a time index table indicating recorded data is kept in a particular HDD. This
allows to individually selecting recorded data to be displayed via the alarm list search and full list
search. The maximum number of lists, for a given HDD, is 3000. When the list of any given HDD is
used up-and the disk is not full, The unit will still use the rest of the space for recording. In such a
case, an index for the recent recorded data will be generated and the index of the next oldest data
will be erased so that the list does remain 3000 in total. And the next oldest data will be kept in the
index of the corresponding oldest data. For any newly-recorded data, this approach will be applied
until the disk becomes full.
3000 LISTS
In the rewrite recording mode, when the archived hard disk drive is full, the NVR will start overwriting
the oldest data recorded. As the previous recorded data was partially overwritten by the recent
recording, the indicating time index of that data will be changed corresponding to the starting time of
the remaining session. The index of the session will be deleted from the table when it is fully
overwritten.

follow section 3. (TCP/IP Communication Software).

GATEWAY: 0.0.0.0
NOTE: When only one unit of the NVR is connected to a computer or LAN, you can freely
assign an IP address for the NVR. For example, there is a range of NVR IP
addresses from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.255. You can pick one for use from the
range of the IP. It’s not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the settings
as default.
When a NVR is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique, permanent IP
address and correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings according to
your network architecture. If you have any questions regarding those settings,
please contact a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
71
Page 74
NOTE: When connecting to a network, each connected NVR must be assigned a unique
IP, which must be in the same class type as your network address. IP addresses
are written as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example,
192.168.0.1 Therefore, if the connected network is identified as Class C, for
example, the first three sets of numbers of the NVR IP address must be the same
as the network address. If the connected network is identified as Class B, the
first two sets of numbers of the NVR IP address must be the same as the network
address. If you have any questions regarding these settings, please contact a
qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
