pull the cord itself.
Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal
heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces
(rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.
Height and vertical linearity controls located at the
rear panel are for special adjustments by qualified
personnel only.
Do not install the unit in an extremely hot or
humid place or in a place subject to excessive
dust, mechanical vibration.
The unit is not designed to be waterproof.
Exposure to rain or water may damage the unit.

Chapter 2. Installation
2.1. HDD Installation
Before Installation
We recommend setting the current time on your NVR before HDD Installation.
Please make sure that the power of NVR is switched off before starting installation.
Step 1. Make sure the NVR power is switched OFF
Step 2. Open the top cover of NVR using a cross screw driver.
Step 3. Take out the HDD mounting plate from NVR.
Step 4. Place HDD(s) on the mounting plate and mount it with screws.
Step 5. Replace the mounting plate into the NVR and fix it with screws.
Step 6. Attach the data and power cable to HDD(s) correctly.
Step 7. Replace the top cover of NVR and fix it with screws.
After HDD installation
Step 8. Turn the NVR power ON.
Step 9. NVR will detect HDD(s) during the booting and will format HDD(s).
Step 10. After HDD formatting, NVR will be automatically rebooted and will be ready to work
with HDD(s).
2.2. Network Connection Setup
2.2.1. Using a Static IP Address
You can use the Static IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway address provided by your ISP
(Internet Service Provider) for your NVR. The Gateway address is the IP address of your
broadband modem.
Internet
14
2.2.2. Using a Dynamic IP Address
You can use a router with your Dynamic IP broadband modem. In this case, you should set the
configuration of a router properly for network connection between NVR and Net/Web Viewer.
Please follow the instructions in next section to configure your router correctly.
Home/Office Network Internet
If your Broadband Modem does not support internal loop back (port forwarding) function and you
want to monitor NVR using a PC located in same Intranet, you should use Direct IP instead of
DVRNS in the connection menu of NetViewer. If your PC is located outside of Intranet, you can
use both DVRNS and Direct IP to connect to NVR even though your Broadband Modem has
limited features.
2.2.3. Router Configuration
If your NVR is connected to the network through a router, you should configure router properly.
There are 3 steps as follows.
1. WAN Setting 2. DHCP Setting 3. Virtual Server Setting
2.2.3.1. WAN Setting
When you connect to your Router, you
can find menu for WAN setting. Please
confirm the WAN setting. If you are using
DSL service, you should select PPPoE,
and you will be directed to a sub-menu to
type in DSL user name and password.
15
2.2.3.2. DHCP & IP Address Setting
To assign a unique private IP address to
NVR in your intranet environment
automatically, you can enable DHCP option
in the Network Setup menu of your NVR and
your Router. In this case, you can skip the
procedures described on this page.
We recommend assigning IP address to
NVR manually to prevent unexpected
change of IP address.
*A router from D-Link is quoted as an
example in this manual. The images of
setup menu above may not always match
another router’s setup menu.
If you have any problem with DHCP function or want to assign the private IP address, please
disable DHCP option in the Network Setup menu of your NVR and check the starting and ending
IP used by DHCP server of the Router. You can assign any private IP address to your NVR
even if it is out of the DHCP range, but the IP address should match with the one entered in
the Network Setup menu of your NVR.
2.2.3.3. Virtual Server Setting
You should register your NVR as a virtual server. Please enter the information into IP address
field of the router (e.g. 192.168.0.110).
Protocol Type should be TCP. Private/Public Port numbers should be the same with the Port
numbers assigned in NVR. You can change port numbers in Network Setup menu to avoid conflict
with other network servers.
Your NVR uses 3 port numbers and the default Port numbers are 9350~1 and 80. 9350~1 are
for controlling the video, audio and commands of Net Viewer, and 80 is for Web Viewer. You need to
register 3 port numbers into the router as network servers. Please make sure that your router does
not block those port numbers to/from the NVR with filter and firewall features.
The image is only for your reference. Depending on the Router manufacturer, the setting can vary.

Auto/Manual: By clicking this button, you will be able to select which channel(s) to register

Setup tab, you will have five (5) different settings to work with.
-Profile, Resolution, FPS, Quality and GOP (Group of Pictures)
Click on the desired channel and then IP camera setup page will appear.
Profile: We recommend “Main” profile because it allows the most efficient coding of video. It reduces
the required network bandwidth for video. The only profiles that can be enabled are ones supported by
the camera. If you cannot enable it, then the camera does not support that particular profile.
Capture: It will display capture resolution supported by the camera. Once the Capture tab is clicked, a
window will appear to set.
Resolution: It will display resolution options supported by the camera. Once the Resolution tab is
clicked, a window will appear in the middle of the page. Scroll down on the Resolution bar and select
desired resolution setting.
29
FPS: To select desired FPS, click on the FPS bar and scroll down. Maximum FPS allowed is 30. The
NVR does not support FPS 60.
Quality: For desired quality setting, click on the bar next to Quality. Once the bar has been clicked, a
virtual keyboard will appear in the middle of the screen.
By using the keyboard, enter the desired quality setting. Keep in mind that maximum Kbps is 6000.
GOP: Once you have clicked the GOP tab, click the GOP bar and scroll down to desired GOP setting.
Keep in mind the maximum GOP is 30 and the recommendation GOP size is a half of FPS. (Example;
if the FPS is 30, then the GOP of 15 is recommended)
Audio: Only support G.711. If the IP camera does not support G.711, then it will display as OFF.
KHz: Only support 8KHz (this is audio sampling rate). If the IP camera does not support 8KHz, then it
will display as OFF.
Motion: Default is OFF. If you select ON, it will allow the NVR to receive motion events from the IP
camera. Also, when it’s in ON position, the NVR will allow the user to use event recording.
**If you would like to use MOTION recording, you MUST have the EVENT in ON position at all times.
The NVR will automatically set the motion area(whole screen), but if the user wants to set their own
motion area, they can set the motion area of individual channel from Motion option of Record menu.
Please refer to 3.2.7 Motion.
Sensor: Default is OFF. If you select ON, it will allow the NVR to receive sensor events from the IP
camera. There are 2 different types of sensor positions: (N.O = NORMAL OPEN and N.C. = NORMAL
CLOSE). Depending on the IP camera, Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 can be enabled if the IP camera can
support two sensors.
Secondary: The purpose of secondary is to send low bandwidth stream to remote client software such
as smartphone, tablet, etc. It will also display in real-time to multi view mode. You can also setup
different settings in secondary such as:
- Profile: Select a profile that’s desired. Main is recommended.
- Resolution: Max resolution is 704 x 480 depending on IP camera’s resolution support.
- FPS: Maximum FPS is 30.
- Quality: By using the keyboard, enter the desired quality setting. Keep in mind that maximum
Kbps is 6000.
- GOP: Maximum GOP is 30 and a half of FPS is recommended as a GOP size.
