The maximum performance of the NVRX Series is 720p@400fps

Therefore 25fps per channel is recommended (25fps x 16=400fps)

• The NVRX Series features a "Plug and Play" function with a POE Switch.

• The “Plug and Play” functionality requires the IP Camera to be in DHCP mode.

• The NVRX automatically assigns an IP Address to the IP Camera (10.20.30.11 ~

10.20.30.254).

• The NVRX models automatically map the camera on the POE Port to the corresponding

NVR channel number.

With the NVRX Models, DO NOT connect a router to the POE Ports to connect an IP

Camera. The NVRX will not be able to find and connect to the camera. The LAN Port

can be connected to a router, but not the POE Ports.

If you access the NVR from within the same LAN the TCP port number

doesn’t need to be changed.

Network Access Beyond a Router

To access a NVRX beyond a router (firewall) you must open the correct TCP ports for

live/playback streaming, for commands, for remote backup and for audio streaming. If these

ports are not opened properly, you can’t access the NVRX from beyond a router.

o For live/playback streaming, for commands, for remote backup: Open

the port number on NETWORK>NETWORK PORT menu. The default port number

is 5445.

o For bi-directional audio: Open the port number on NETWORK AUDIO PORT.
