Preface
This manual describes how to use your NVR locally or on the Web interface. In this manual, the terms IP camera and IPC refer to the same thing: network camera, which requires
a connection to the network. And the IP device mentioned in this manual refers to an IP camera (also known as network camera) or a Digital Video Server (DVS).
Part I Local Operations
An NVR supports two types of operations: local operations and web-based remote operations. With local operations you connect a monitor and a mouse to the NVR and use the mouse to operate. If your NVR has buttons on the front panel or is delivered with a remote control, you may also control your NVR by pressing the front panel buttons or using the remote control.
The NVR has an embedded web server and allows web-based operations. To do this, you need a client PC that has a network connection to the NVR and is installed with a web browser. You just need to navigate to the NVR's IP address and log in to the Web interface like you log in to the system locally.
This section describes local operations.

This example describes how to configure sequence for five cameras based on a 4-window screen layout.
1. Click 4 Windows on the screen toolbar.
12
NOTE!
The number of windows that can be displayed may vary with NVR model.

1. Click the desired preview window and then click on the window toolbar.
2. In the small window in the lower right corner, click and drag your mouse to specify the area to
zoom in on. The image in the main window zooms in. The following shows an example.
13

14
Preview Configuration
Each preview window links to a camera, and by default, the first window links to camera D1, the second window links to camera D2, and so on (see the figure below).
You may drag a window to the desired position on the screen so the window links to the camera that the previous window links to and then check the link under System > Preview. You may also refer to the following example, which describes how to link window 1 to D2, and link window 2 to D1.
Step 1: Click window 1 on the right, and then click D2 under Camera on the left. Now D2 appears in window 1, and None appears in window 2. Meanwhile, D1 is grayed out on the left, meaning D1 is not linked to any window.
Step 2: Click window 2 on the right, and then click D1 under Camera on the left. Now D1 appears in window 2. Click Apply to save the settings.
15
Advanced Configuration
Click the Advanced tab and then select Sub Stream First so the NVR uses the sub stream to establish live video from multiple cameras simultaneously. This function is disabled by default.

18
Click to edit settings of an IP device, including the access protocol, IP address, port number, username and password. The Camera IP field displays the IP address that the current channel links to, and you may change the address so the channel links to another device. The username and password must be consistent with that of the IP camera.
Click to delete an IP device, or select multiple IP devices and then click Delete.
Click to change the IP address of an IP camera and the default gateway. means this function is not available.

NOTE!
A scene can be selected only when it is supported by the IP camera.
To restore default image settings, click Default in the lower right corner. This function is available only when the camera is connected to the NVR via the private protocol.
Image settings apply to both live and recorded videos.
Image enhancement
1. Click the Image Enhancement tab.
2. Adjust the settings as needed. Some important parameters are described in the table below.
Parameter Description
Brightness The greater the value, the brighter the images appear.
Saturation The amount of color in a specified hue.
Contrast
The degree of difference between the lightest (white) and darkest (black) parts of an image. Setting a greater value increases contrast.
Hue Purity of colors in an image.
Sharpness Contrast of boundaries of objects in an image.
Noise Reduction Reduce noises in images to improve image quality.
Image Rotation
Normal: Displays images without rotation.
Flip Vertical: Displays images flipped vertically.
Flip Horizontal: Displays images flipped horizontally.
180°: Displays images flipped vertically and horizontally.
90° CW: Displays images rotated 90° clockwise.
90° CCW: Displays images rotated 90° counterclockwise.
Note:
The 90° CW and 90° CCW options can be used to achieve corridor mode, depending on the camera installation direction.
In corridor mode, operations to areas of interest (such as zoom and motion detection areas) also work in corridor mode.

Exposure
1. Click the Exposure tab.
2. Adjust the settings as needed. Some important parameters are described in the table below.
Parameter Description
Exposure Mode Select the correct exposure mode to achieve the desired exposure effect.
Shutter(s)
Shutter is used to control the light that comes into the lens. A fast shutter speed is ideal for scenes in quick motion. A slow shutter speed is ideal for scenes that change slowly.
Gain(dB)
Control image signals so that the camera can output standard video signals in different light conditions.
Iris Adjust iris opening of the lens to control the amount of incoming light.
Slow Shutter Improves image brightness in low light conditions.
Slowest Shutter Set the slowest shutter speed for the camera during exposure.
Compensation Adjust the compensation value as required to achieve the desired image effects.
Day/Night Mode
Automatic: In this mode, the camera can automatically switch between night mode and day mode according to the ambient lighting condition to output optimum images.
Night: The camera outputs high-quality black and white images according to the ambient lighting condition.
Day: The camera outputs high-quality color images according to the ambient lighting condition.
Day/Night Sensitivity
Light threshold for switching between day mode and night mode. A higher sensitivity value means that the camera is more sensitive to the change of light and is therefore more easily to switch between day mode and night mode.
Day/Night Set the length of time before the camera switches between day mode and night
21
Parameter Description
Switching(s) Mode after the switching conditions are met.
WDR Enable WDR to ensure clear images in high contrast conditions.
WDR Level After enabling WDR, you can improve image quality by adjusting the WDR level.
