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

1.2.3 Troubleshooting
Make sure you have installed batteries properly in the remote control. And you have to aim the
remote 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.
Step 1 Go to System > General by operating the front control panel or the mouse.
Step 2 Check and remember device ID#. The default ID# is 255. This ID# is valid for all the IR remote
controls.
Step 3 Press the DEV button on the remote control.
Step 4 Enter the device ID# you set in step 2.
Step 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:
Batteries are installed correctly and the polarities of the batteries are not reversed.
Network Video Recorder User Manual

Batteries are fresh and not out of charge.
IR receiver is not obstructed.
No fluorescent lamp is used nearby
If the remote still can’t function properly, please change a remote and try again, or contact the
device provider.
1.3 USB Mouse Operation
A regular 3-button (Left/Right/Scroll-wheel) USB mouse can also be used with this device. To use a
USB mouse:
Step 1 Plug USB mouse into one of the USB interfaces on the front panel of the device.
Step 2 The mouse should automatically be detected. If in a rare case that the mouse is not detected,
the possible reason may be that the two devices are not compatible, please refer to the
recommended the device list from your provider.

Chapter 2 Getting Started
2.1 Start up the Device
Purpose
Proper startup and shutdown procedures are crucial to expanding the life of the device.
Before you start
Check that the voltage of the extra power supply is the same with the device’s requirement, and
the ground connection is working properly.
Step 1 Connect the device power supply interface and electrical socket with delivered power cable. It
is HIGHLY recommended that an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be used in conjunction
with the device. The Power button on the front panel should be red, indicating the device is
receiving the power.
2.2 Activate the Device
Purpose:
For the first-time access, you need to activate the device by setting an admin password. No
operation is allowed before activation. You can also activate the device via Web Browser, SADP or
Client Software.
Step 1 Input the same password in the text field of Create New Password and Confirm New Password.
You can click to show the characters input.
Figure 2-1 Activating the Device
Network Video Recorder User Manual
28
We highly recommend you create a strong password of your own choosing (Using a minimum of 8
characters, including at least three of the following categories: upper case letters, lower case
letters, numbers, and special characters.) in order to increase the security of your product. And we
recommend you reset your password regularly, especially in the high security system, resetting the
password monthly or weekly can better protect your product.
Step 2 In the Create Channel Default Password text field, create a login password for IP camera (s)
connected to the device.
Step 3 (Optional) Check Export GUID and Security Question Configuration.
Export GUID: export the GUID for future password resetting.
Security Question Configuration: configure the security questions which can be used for
resetting the password.
Step 4 Click OK.
What to do next:
When you have enabled the Export GUID, continue to export the GUID file to the USB flash
driver for the future password resetting.
When you have enabled the Security Question Configuration, continue to set the security
questions for the future password resetting.
After the device is activated, you should properly keep the password.
You can duplicate the password to the IP cameras that are connected with default protocol.
2.3 Configure Unlock Pattern for Login
For the admin user, you can configure the unlock pattern for device login.
Step 1 After the device is activated, you can enter the following interface to configure the device
unlock pattern.
Step 2 Use the mouse to draw a pattern among the 9 dots on the screen. Release the mouse when the
pattern is done.
Network Video Recorder User Manual
29
Figure 2-2 Draw the Pattern
Connect at least 4 dots to draw the pattern.
Each dot can be connected for once only.
Step 3 Draw the same pattern again to confirm it. When the two patterns match, the pattern is
configured successfully.
If the two patterns are different, you must set the pattern again.
2.4 Login to the Device
2.4.1 Log in via Unlock Pattern
Only the admin user has the permission to unlock the device.
Please configure the pattern first before unlocking. Please refer to Chapter 2.3 Configure
Unlock Pattern for Login.
Step 1 Right click the mouse on the screen and select the menu to enter the interface.
