control at the IR receiver in the front panel.
If there is no response after you press any button on the remote, follow the procedure below to troubleshoot.
Steps:
1. Go to Menu > Settings > General > More Settings by operating the front control panel or the mouse.
2. Check and remember NVR ID#. The default ID# is 255. This ID# is valid for all the IR remote controls.
3. Press the DEV button on the remote control.
4. Enter the NVR ID# you set in step 2.
5. Press the ENTER button on the remote.
If the Status indicator on the front panel turns blue, the remote control is operating properly. If the Status indicator
does not turn blue and there is still no response from the remote, please check the following:
1. Batteries are installed correctly and the polarities of the batteries are not reversed.
2. Batteries are fresh and not out of charge.
3. IR receiver is not obstructed.
If the remote still can‟t function properly, please change a remote and try again, or contact the device provider.

2.1 Starting Up and Shutting Down the NVR
Purpose:
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 with the NVR‟s requirement, and the ground
connection is working properly.
Starting up the NVR:
Steps:
1. Check 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 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 cannot be detected.
Shutting down the NVR
Steps:
There are two proper ways to shut down the NVR. To shut down the NVR:
• OPTION 1: Standard shutdown
1. Enter the Shutdown menu.
Menu > Shutdown
Figure 2. 1 Shutdown Menu
2. Click the Shutdown button.
3. Click the Yes button.
• OPTION 2: By operating the front panel
1. Press and hold the POWER button on the front panel for 3 seconds.
2. Enter the administrator‟s username and password in the dialog box for authentication.
3. Click the Yes button.
Note: Do not press the POWER button again when the system is shutting down.
Rebooting the NVR
In the Shutdown menu, you can also reboot the NVR.
Steps:
1. Enter the Shutdown menu by clicking Menu > Shutdown.
2. Click the Logout button to lock the NVR or the Reboot button to reboot the NVR.
