1.4 Remote Control
The NVR may also be controlled with the included IR remote control, shown in 0.
Note:
Batteries (2×AAA) must be installed before operation.
The IR Remote is set at the factory to control the NVR (using default Device ID# 255) without any additional steps. Device ID# 255 is the default universal device identification number shared by the NVRs. You may also pair an IR Remote to a specific NVR by changing the Device ID#, as follows:
Pairing (Enabling) the IR Remote to a Specific DVR (optional):
You can pair an IR Remote to a specific private DVR by creating a user-defined Device ID#. This feature is useful when using multiple IR Remotes and DVRs.
On the DVR:
Steps:
1. Go to General > More Settings.
2. Type a number (255 digits maximum) into the <Device No.> field.
3. On the IR Remote:
4. Press the <DEV> button.
5. Use the Number buttons to enter the <Device ID#> that was entered into the DVR.
6. Press the <Enter> button to accept the new <Device ID#>.

Remote Control
Unpairing (Disabling) an IR Remote from a DVR:
To unpair an IR Remote from a DVR so that the unit cannot control any DVR functions, proceed as follows:
Press the <DEV> key on the IR Remote. Any existing Device ID# will be erased from the unit’s memory and it will no longer function with the DVR.
Note:
(Re)-enabling the IR Remote requires pairing to a DVR. See “Pairing the IR Remote to a Specific

Steps:
1. Go to Menu > Settings > General > More Settings by operating the front control panel or the
mouse.
N/A
Switch between Play and Reverse Play in the <Playback> mode.
Cycle through tab pages.
Switch between channels in the Synchronous <Playback> mode.
7. Check and remember the <NVR ID#>. The default <ID#> is <255>. This <ID#> is valid for all of the IR remote controls.
8. Press the <DEV> button on the remote control.
9. Enter the <NVR ID#> you set in step 2.
10. Press the <ENTER> button on the remote control.

‒ Batteries are installed correctly and the polarities of the batteries are not reversed.
‒ Batteries are fresh and not out of charge.
‒ The IR receiver is not obstructed.
‒ No fluorescent lamp is used nearby.

2. Getting Started
2.1 Recorder Startup
Proper startup and shutdown procedures are crucial to expanding the life of the NVR.
Before you start:
Check that the voltage of the extra power supply is the same as the NVR’s requirement and that the ground connection is working properly.
Starting up the NVR: Steps:
1. Check that the power supply is plugged into an electrical outlet. It is HIGHLY recommended that an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be used in conjunction with the device. The Power indicator LED on the front panel should be red, indicating that the device gets the power supply.
2. Press the <POWER> button on the front panel. The Power indicator LED should turn blue, indicating that the unit begins to start up.
3. After startup, the Power indicator LED remains blue. A splash screen with the status of the HDD appears on the monitor. The row of icons at the bottom of the screen shows the HDD status. ‘X’ means that the HDD is not installed or that it cannot be detected.
Shutting down the NVR:
There are two proper ways to shut down the NVR.
OPTION 1: Standard shutdown
Steps:
1. Enter the Shutdown menu: Menu > Shutdown
33
4. Click the <Shutdown> button.

2.3.4 Editing the IP Cameras Connected to the PoE Interfaces
This chapter is only applicable for the following models: GD-RN-AP8616P, GD-RN-AP8632P, GD­RN-AC2416P and GD-RN-AC2004P.
The <PoE> interface enables the NVR system to pass electrical power safely along with data on Ethernet cabling to the connected network cameras.
Up to 4 network cameras can be connected to 4-Port models, 8 network cameras to 8-Port models, and 16 network cameras to 16-Port models. If you disable the PoE interface, you can also connect to the online network cameras. And the PoE interface supports the Plug-and-Play function.
Example:
For GD-RN-AP8616P, if you want to connect 6 network cameras via PoE interfaces and 2 online cameras, you must disable 10 PoE interfaces in the Edit IP Camera menu.
To add Cameras for NVR supporting the <PoE> function:
Before you start:
Connect the network cameras via the <PoE> interfaces.
Steps:
1. Enter the <Camera Management> interface: Menu> Camera> Camera

The cameras connecting to the <PoE> interface cannot be deleted in this menu.
2. Click the button, and select the <Adding Method> in the drop-down list.
• <Plug-and-Play>: It means that the camera is connected to the <PoE> interface, so in
this case, the parameters of the camera can’t be edited. The <IP Address> of the
camera can only be edited in the <Network Configuration> interface, see Chapter 11.1
12.1 Configuring General Settings for detailed information.

5. <OFF>: Short-distance (< 100 meters) network transmission via the <PoE> interface.
Configure the PoE Interface
and . You can click the radio
54
Note:
‒
The <PoE> is enabled with the short network cable mode (<OFF>) by default.
‒
The bandwidth of the IP Camera connected to the <PoE> via a long network cable (100 ­300 meters) cannot exceed 6 MP.
‒
The allowed max. long network cable may be less than 300 meters, depending on different IP Camera models.
‒
When the transmission distance reaches 100 to 250 meters, it must use the CAT5E or CAT6 network cable to connect with the <PoE> interface.
‒
When the transmission distance reaches 250 to 300 meters, it must use the CAT6 network cable to connect with the <PoE> interface.
‒
Refer to chapter 19 for the list of IP cameras.
Note:
You can check the connecting status and power information of the <POE> channel on the interface.

5.1 Configuring Parameters
By configuring the parameters you can define the parameters which affect the image quality, such as the <Transmission Stream Type>, the <Resolution> and so on.
Before you start:
Steps:
1) Make sure that the HDD has already been installed. If not, please install a HDD and initialize it.
(Menu>HDD>General)
HDD- General
2) Check the storage mode of the HDD
Click <Advanced> to check the <Storage> mode of the HDD.
If the HDD mode is <Quota>, please set the <Maximum Record Capacity> and the <Maximum
Picture Capacity>. For detailed information, see the Chapter about 14.5Configuring the Quota Mode.
If the HDD mode is <Group>, you should set the <HDD Group>. For detailed information, see
Chapter 5.9 Configuring the HDD Group for Recording and Capture.
HDD- Advanced
Steps:
1. Enter the <Record settings> interface to configure the recording parameters: Menu >

78
Recording Parameters
2. Parameters Setting for Recording
1) Select the <Record> tab to configure the parameters. You can configure the <Stream Type>, the <Resolution> and other parameters on your demand.
<Video Encode>: select the video encoding to <H.265> or <H.264>.
<Enable H.264+ Mode>: check the checkbox to enable. Once enabled, the <Max. Bitrate
Mode, Max. Bitrate(Kbps)> and <Max. Bitrate Range Recommend> are not configurable.
Enabling it helps to ensure the high video quality with a lowered bitrate.
Note:
The <H.265> and <H.264+> should be supported by the connected IP Camera .
2) Click the <More Settings> button to set the advanced parameters for recording and then click the <OK> button to finish editing.
More Settings
<Pre-record>: The time you set to record before the scheduled time or event. For example,
when an alarm triggers the recording at 10:00, and if you set the pre-record time as 5 seconds, the camera records at 9:59:55.
79
<Post-record>: The time you set to record after the event or the scheduled time. For
example, when an alarm-triggered recording ends at 11:00, and if you set the <Post-record> time as 5 seconds, it records till 11:00:05.
<Expired Time>: The expired time is the period for a recorded file to be kept on the HDD.
When the deadline is reached, the file will be deleted. If you set the expired time to <0>, then the file will not be deleted. The actual keeping time for the file should be determined by the capacity of the HDD.
<Redundant Record/Capture>: By enabling <Redundant Record> or <Capture>, you save the record and captured picture in the redundant HDD. See Chapter 5.8 Configuring Redundant Recording and Capture.
<Record Audio>: Check the checkbox to enable or disable audio recording. <Video Stream>: <Main Stream> and <Sub-stream> are selectable for recording. When
you select <Sub-stream>, you can record for a longer time with the same storage space.
3) Click <Apply> to save the settings.
Note:
You can enable the <ANR (Automatic Network Replenishment)> function via the web browser (Configuration > Storage > Schedule Settings > Advanced) to save the video files in the IP Camera when the network is disconnected and synchronize the files to the NVR when the network is resumed.
