Workflow

1. Network Setup: Setting a Static IP, enabling external access via port forwarding
a. LAN Setup: static IP address assigned by site IT staff
b. Port Setup: forward ports to allow Device commands to be sent from I-View Now

2. Configure SMTP email: This will be used to communicate alerts and alarms to I-View Now. The SMTP server and

SMTP ID provided on the “Installer Data” Worksheet will be used here

3. User Setup: Change the default administrator password. I-View Now will be using this password to log into the

device. I-View Now suggests using the suggested password on the “Installer Data” worksheet.

4. Recording Setup: The DVR will be set to record by schedule or by events. Event recording will only record when

either a motion or alarm event is detected. Scheduled recordings occur during the scheduled time.

5. Alarm Input Setup: Here the technician will be setting up the alarm inputs on the back of the DVR to perform

two actions: 1) Trigger recording on all connected cameras. And most importantly, 2) Send SMTP (email) alert to
I-View Now upon the event of an alarm.

6. Motion Detection Setup: activate video motion recording for desired cameras.

7. Configure I-View Now Entry Delay: Entry delay is configured through the I-View Now portal.

8. Test: Here you will test the individual inputs on the DVR as they are connected to your alarm panel relays or

other input devices. It is recommended that you test all inputs for functionality and to ensure the proper
configuration has been setup in the I-View Now portal.

9. Trouble Shooting: This section is provided to help the technician troubleshoot common problems encountered

while installing DVR’s.

Installation Worksheet

USB Mouse

VGA Cable

VGA Port

The I-View Now Portal will provide an Installation Worksheet after entering the DVR make and model into the system.
This sheet will contain configuration information for the DVR’s notifications area, and provides a form to fill in details
about the site setup (alarms, zone names). An example worksheet is printed below.

You will need to retrieve the IP address while on-site. Either ask the customer/IT department for the IP address, or visit

http://ipalarmtools.com while on-site for the correct address.

Default DVR Login

Plug a monitor into the VGA output on the DVR. Also, plug the mouse provided with the DVR into the front side USB port
of the DVR unit. The default password is admin. Be aware that the Menu’s presented in this manual can vary slightly
depending on the exact model and firmware version.

Network Setup

After logging into the device for the first time, the first setting that should be changed is the IP address. The DVR
requires a static internal IP address because one or more communication ports will have to be forwarded to it from the
firewall/router on site.

 RightClick “Setup” at the bottom of the screen
 Click Main Menu
 Login with User: admin Pass: 12345
 You will be presented with the MAIN MENU Bar

 From the Main Menu click on the Hammer and Screwdriver for “SETTING” and Choose “NETWORK”
