1. Pre-Installation

1.1 Pre-Installation Safety Information

Before connecting your NVR (network video recorder) or cameras, please ensure the following safe installation
guidelines are adhered to.

• Do not place cords from the NVR where they can be pinched or stepped on.

• Do not place heavy objects on cords, or cover cords with rugs or carpet.

• Do not expose the NVR to excessive heat or moisture.

• Leave at least 50mm of space between the NVR and other objects to allow ample air circulation.

• Never immerse any component in water and do not spray cleaners or solvents on the cameras.

• Shut down and unplug the recorder before cleaning. When cleaning, use a damp, lint-free cloth only.

• Service of your NVR or surveillance cameras should only be handled by qualied technicians.

1.2 Connecting your NVR and Cameras

The following section will detail connecting the NVR and surveillance cameras. It is recommended that cameras and

connections are tested before mounting. If there is no image, an error message or dark screen when rst connecting

cameras, see the Troubleshooting in Section 6 in this guide.

Refer to 1.3 NVR Rear Panel & Setup Diagram for full NVR & system diagrams.

1. Connect the cameras to the NVR: Using CAT5e/CAT6 LAN cables, connect to the network port of the NVR.

2. Connect camera power: Cameras are powered by CAT5e/CAT6 LAN cable. No external power supply is needed.

3. Connect a display: Using an HDMI or VGA cable, connect a monitor or television (not included).

4. Connect the mouse: Connect the USB mouse to the rear USB port, saving the front port for easy USB backup.

5. Connect to your local network: Using the included Ethernet patch cable, connect to your switch or router.

6. Connect NVR power: Plug in the supplied AC power cord to the rear of the NVR.

Upon activating power, LED lights at the front of the NVR should turn on and the NVR will sound on startup. The
NVR will then run your surveillance user interface. Cameras and LAN / Internet will be detected automatically. This

completes a successful rst boot of your surveillance system and you may begin conguring surveillance cameras.

2. NVR and Camera Conguration

2.1 First Boot and Startup Wizard

After successful connection and boot of your NVR, you will be taken through rst-time setup for your surveillance
system. Here you will congure system security and begin customising your NVR, including setting camera encoding
options, record scheduling, network setup and remote view conguration. A physical keyboard is not required or

supported; an on-screen keyboard will appear when required.

NOTE: Each setting shown in the Startup Wizard can be modied later via the NVR Main Menu. See the Menu Quick

Guide in Section 6 or see the full user manual for more information.

Following the prompts, complete each section in the Startup Wizard, as detailed below:

NOTE: Screenshots have been edited for legibility in print.

2.1.1 Startup Wizard

When the NVR is powered up for the rst time or the NVR is restored to factory settings, the Startup Wizard will be

displayed. Users can set common NVR functions by following the procedures step-by-step

2.1.2 Securing your NVR

In the Startup Wizard, you will be prompted to change the admin user password. This is to prevent unauthorised
remote access via the Internet to your NVR.

1. Enter a strong admin user password, using letters, numbers & symbols. Conrm this password.

2. (Recommended) Enter a Prompt Question (password hint).

3. (Optional) Draw an Unlock Pattern for quick unlocking.

4. (Recommended) Enter an email address to be used for password resets.

5. (Recommended) Enter security questions/answers to be used if the admin password is forgotten. Note that answers

are case-sensitive.

NOTE: Email address password resets require a mobile phone with the DMSS app & internet access.

NOTE: We strongly recommend setting up email password reset and security questions. If the password is forgotten

and no recovery method is set up, the recorder will need to be sent back to VIP Vision for a system reset, which will
incur a fee even if the system is still within the warranty period.
