Quick Install Guide

Document 800-16129V4 – Rev A – 03/2017

Introduction

Welcome to your new Honeywell MAXPRO® NVR XE. This guide helps you set up the NVR right

out of the box. Before installing your NVR, please read this guide carefully.

Note Translated Quick Install Guides can be accessed on your MAXPRO NVR unit after logging

in, by clicking on Start menu

 Honeywell  Quick Install Guides.

Rear Panel Connections

Keyboard Controller (Optional) Follow the

documentation that was included with your IP keyboard
controller to connect it to the NVR.

Network Connections Connect a network PoE switch to th e camera network port at the rear of the

MAXPRO NVR. Connect your cameras to the network PoE switch with CAT5 Ethernet cables.
Optionally, connect the client workstation network port to your client workstation network via a
network switch. This allows remote access to your NVR. The default client workstation network IP
address must be changed to an available static IP address on your client workstation network.

Monitor(s) The MAXPRO NVR XE comes wit h built -in graphics and fou r types of monitor outputs.

The unit supports connection of a single monitor using one of the outputs.

Unpack

Check that the items received match those listed on the order form and packing slip. The packing
box should include, in addition to your NVR unit and this guide:

Install the Hardware

Mount the MAXPRO NVR XE Unit Mount the MAXPRO NVR XE unit on a flat surface, horizontally

or vertically, using the supplied chassis feet.

VGA Output to VGA monitor

Display Output to DP monitor

The recommended resolution for your monitor is 1280 x 1024 pixels (minimum 1024 x 768) and
display colors of at least 32 bit.

Dual Network Configuration

Connect the Hardware

Rear Panel

Contact your dealer to purchase Honeywell and third-party IP and analog cameras and encoder.

Power Up the Unit

Note Honeywell recommends using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for the NVR unit, the

camera network switch, and the cameras to ensure that the NVR can continue to record
video during a power outage or during transient power events. If you need to monitor
video during a power outage, consider a UPS for the monitor as well.

1. Before powering up the NVR, turn on camera(s) and other devices — such as a network
switch or router — connected to the NVR.

2. Press the power button on the front of the NVR.

Switching the Power Preference

The MAXPRO NVR XE power rating is 115V/230V AC, 7/4 A, 60/50 Hz, 300 W.
The recommended power input is 110-120 V.

In some regions users may require the use of a 230 V AC power input. In this case, flip the power
input preference switch on the back of the MAXPRO NVR XE unit (see the diagram of the back panel
above for the location of the switch).

3. After powering on the unit, you are prompted to log on. The Default user is user name:
NVR-Admin, password: Password$123. The user name and password are case sensitive.
You will be prompted to create a new password the first time that you log in.

The setup wizard starts automatically but may take two minutes.
