User Manual of WIFI Network Video Recorder

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radioexempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes :

1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et

2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est

susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

Before you start:

Establish the network connection between IPC and the NVR via wired or wireless network.

 Wired network: connect the Ethernet port of computer to the LAN interface of NVR. And configure the IP

address of computer on the principle that the network segment is the same with NVR, that is

192.168.254.×××.

 Wireless network: the default SSID and key of wireless network provided by NVR is in the tag of device.

 Hikvision WIFI IP camera which has default user name and password and is within 2m distance from the

NVR will be added automatically.

 Ensure the network connection is valid and correct. For detailed checking and configuring of the network,

please see Chapter 11.3 Checking Network Traffic and Chapter11.4 Configuring Network Detection.
