CBR is recommended because of the internal buffer strategy of the NVRX

Series

Resolution

1280x720

The maximum performance of the NVRX Series is 1080p@192fps or

720p@400fps.

To increase frame rate, lower the resolution to 1280x720

Frame

Rate

25fps

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

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

The maximum throughput of the NVRX Series is 40Mbps

Therefore 2Mbps per channel is recommended (2 x 16=32Mbps)

512Kbps

For Dual Streaming, the sub stream should be turned on

And, for proper streaming through the WAN connection,

CIF@512Kbps or a lower bitrate per channel is recommended

• 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.

2-6 Non POE Port Setup

2.6.1 Connecting the Camera

① The NVRX Series features a "Plug and Play" function (on board POE Switch included)

② Setting up cameras can be done through the Quick Installation menu

2-7 IP Camera SETUP (Through Web Viewer Page)

The NVRX allows remote access to the IP Cameras through an "IP Camera Setup" menu.

The PC Web Client features the "IP Camera Setup" menu that can be accessed remotely.

LAN

Clients

① Click the mouse right button ② Select “IP Camera Setup”. ③ Select Channel Number. ④ It lanuches the camera’s own setup page.

In order for the web pages to launch from the “IP Camera Setup” menu, when accessed from

the WAN, Ports 59011 to 59254 on the router must be port forwarded to the NVRX. The local

address of the NVRX can be found in the system information.

2-8 Dual Streaming

 High Quality (Main Profile) Video Stream is used for both Recording and Live Display.

 High Quality (Main Profile) Video Stream can be viewed through the network, when
