Troubleshooting the remote control
Note: Make sure you have installed batteries properly in the remote control. Be
sure to aim the remote control at the IR receiver in the front panel.
If you press a button and do not receive a response, follow the procedures below
to troubleshoot.
To troubleshoot the remote control:
1. Go to Menu > Settings > General > More Settings using the front control
panel or the mouse.
2. Check and remember the NVR ID. The default ID number is 255. This ID
number is valid for all the IR remote controls.
3. Press the DEV button on the remote control.
4. Enter the NVR ID number from step 2.
5. Press ENTER on the remote.
If the Status indicator on the front panel turns blue, the remote control is
operating properly. If the Status indicator does not turn blue and there is still no
response from the remote, check the following:
Batteries are installed correctly and that the polarities of the batteries are not
reversed.
Batteries are fresh and charged.
IR receiver is not obstructed.
If the remote still is not functioning properly, change remotes and try again, or
contact your dealer.
USB mouse operation
A regular 3-button (Left/Right/Scroll-wheel) USB mouse can also be used with
this NVR.
To use a USB mouse:
1. Plug USB mouse into one of the USB interfaces on the front panel of the
NVR.

Getting Started
Starting up and shutting down the NVR
Proper startup and shutdown procedures are crucial to expanding the life of the
NVR. Before you start, check that the voltage of the extra power supply is the
same with the NVR’s requirement, and that the ground connection is working
properly.
To start up the NVR:
1. Check the power supply is plugged into an electrical outlet. It is HIGHLY
recommended that an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be used in
conjunction with the device. The Power indicator LED on the front panel
should be red, indicating the device gets the power supply.
2. Press the POWER button on the front panel. The Power indicator LED should
turn blue indicating that the unit begins to start up.
3. After startup, the Power indicator LED remains blue. A splash screen with the
status of the HDD appears on the monitor. Clicking the Live View screen will
display the Quick menu. The Quick menu, a row of icons at the bottom of the
screen, shows the HDD status. ‘X’ means that the HDD is not installed or
cannot be detected.
4. On the Live View screen, right click for a menu to appear, see figure 9 below.
Click Menu, on the top of the Right-click menu to display the Top menu, see
Figure 10 below. From the Top menu, you can configure advanced settings or
shutdown the NVR.
