1.2 IR Remote Control Operations

The device may be controlled with the included IR remote control, shown in Figure 1-5.

Batteries (2 × AAA) must be installed before operation.

The IR remote control 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 control to a specific device by changing the Device ID#, as follows:

Pairing (Enabling) the IR Remote Control to a Specific Device (optional)

You can pair an IR remote control to a specific device by creating a user-defined Device ID#. This feature is useful when using multiple IR remote controls and devices.

On the NVR:

Step 1 Go to System > General.

Step 2 Type a number (255 digits maximum) into the Device No. field.

On the IR Remote Control:

Step 1 Press the DEV button.

Step 2 Use the number buttons to enter the Device ID# that was entered into the device.

Step 3 Press the Enter button to accept the new Device ID#.

Figure 1-5 Remote Controller

Unpairing (Disabling) an IR Remote Control from a Device

To unpair an IR remote control from a device so that the unit cannot control any device functions, proceed as follows:

Press the DEV key on the IR remote control. Any existing Device ID# will be erased from the unit’s memory and it will no longer function with the device.

(Re)-enabling the IR remote control requires pairing to a device. See “Pairing the IR Remote Control to a Specific Device (optional),” above.

The remote control keys closely resemble the ones on the device front panel. See table

Troubleshooting the Remote Control

Make sure you have installed batteries properly in the remote control. Also, you have to aim the remote control at the IR receiver on 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, check the following:

• Batteries are installed correctly and the polarities of the batteries are not reversed

• Batteries are fresh and not out of charge

• IR receiver is not obstructed

• No fluorescent lamp is used nearby

If the remote still doesn’t function properly, change to a different remote and try again, or contact the device provider.

Step 1 Plug the 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, refer to the recommended device list from your provider.

Chapter 3 Getting Started

3.1 Starting 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 matches the device’s requirement and the ground connection is working properly.

Powering Up the Device

Step 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 the device is receiving power.

Step 2 Press POWER on the front panel. The Power indicator LED should turn blue indicating

that the unit is starting.

Step 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.

3.2 Activating 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 Create New Password and Confirm New Password text

fields.

Click to show the characters input.

Figure 3-1 Setting Admin Password

We highly recommend you create a strong password of your own choosing (using a minimum of eight 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. We also recommend that you reset your password regularly. Especially in high security systems, resetting the password monthly or weekly can better protect your product.

Step 2 Click OK to save the password and activate the device.

Step 3 When the device is activated, the system pops up a message box to remind you to

properly keep the password. Click OK to export the GUID file for future password resetting.

UM NVR v4.xx 111717NA 28

Network Video Recorder User Manual

If Admin’s password is modified, a dialog box pops up. Optionally, click Yes to duplicate the password to connected IP cameras.

3.3 Configuring the Login Unlock Pattern

You can configure a device login unlock pattern for the admin user.

Figure 3-2 Properly Keep Your Password Reminder

Step 1 After the device is activated, enter the following interface to configure the device

unlock pattern.

Step 2 Use the mouse to draw a pattern among the nine dots on the screen. Release the

mouse when the pattern is done.

Figure 3-3 Draw the Pattern

Connect at least four dots to draw the pattern.

Each dot can be connected only once.
