If it still doesn't work, please try using a good known remote, or contact your dealer.

NVR User Manual

Operation processes with remote controller to control multi-NVR

The default device ID of the NVR is 0. It’s not necessary to reset the device ID when a remote is to be used to control a single NVR. However when controlling multiple NVRs with multiple remote controllers, you would need to configure the device ID, please refer to below steps:

Activate remote controller to control the NVR: Turn the IR sensor of the remote controller towards the IR receiver on the front panel, press the number key 8 twice on the remote, input device ID of the NVR to be controlled (Range from: 0-65535; the default device ID is 0) and press ENTER to confirm.

You can check the device ID of a NVR from System SetupBasicDevice ID. You can also set multiple NVRs with the same device ID however this can cause interference if the NVRs are kept close to each other.

2.5 Control with Mouse

2.5.1 Connect Mouse

It supports USB mouse through the ports on the rear panel. If mouse is not detected or doesn't work, check below steps:

1. Make sure the mouse is plugged in the USB mouse port.

4 Add IP Cameras

This chapter mainly introduces how to connect multiple IP cameras through NVR. Once you finish adding IP cameras, you can see the live images through the monitor of the NVR. For 16 CH NVR, you just need to directly connect the IP cameras to the device through PoE network ports. The live images will display after you connect successfully. Of course, if there are free channels, you can connect the IPC via WAN/ LAN network. For 24 CH NVR, you may connect the previous 16 CH directly to the device through PoE network ports and then add the IP cameras for the remaining channels into the NVR via WAN/LAN. Here we will introduce how to add cameras through WAN/LAN.

To add IP cameras via LAN: Ste p 1 : Please enter MenuIP Camera tab. Refer to Fig 4-1. Click “Search” button to search

the devices in the same network.

Fig 4-1 Device Management

Ste p 2: Enter into the search tab. Click “Refresh” to refresh the searched devices. You can

modify the IP address of the searched device by checking the device and clicking “Setup” button.

Fig 4-2 Search Devices

NVR User Manual

Note: If the network of IP cameras and NVR are in LAN, their IP address must be in the

same network segment. For example: If the IP address of NVR is 192.168.013.057, the IP address of IP camera must be 192.168.013.XXX.

Ste p 3 : Choose the searched devices and click “OK” button to add these devices. The added

cameras will be listed in the device management interface.

Ste p 4 : Choose the camera device and click “Setup” button to enable the camera. Refer to Fig

4-3. Check the “enable” checkbox, select channel and input the username and password of this device. Then click “OK” to save settings.

Fig 4-3 Add Device

To add IP cameras via WAN: Step 1: Please enter MenuIP Camera tab. Refer to Fig 4-1. Step 2: Click “Add” button to pop up a window similar to Fig 4-3. You need to check

“Enable” box, select channel, manufacturer and product model and manually input IP address, server port, username and password of this device.

Note: If the NVR and the IP cameras you want to add are both in WAN, the IP address of

the IP camera input here must be WAN IP. You should forward the LAN IP address and port of the IP camera in the router and use its WAN IP address, provided that the IP camera is in local area network, otherwise, the NVR cannot connect this IP camera.
