System adopts standard RJ45 network port to input audio/video data.
3.5.1 Connecting Video Output
Video output includes a TCVBS(PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0VP- P, 75Ω)output and a VGA output.
System supports CVBS and VGA output at the same time.
When you are using pc-type monitor to replace the monitor, please pay attention to the following
points:
To defer aging, do not allow the pc monitor to run for a long time.
Regular demagnetization will keep device maintain proper status.
Keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference devices.
Using TV as video output device is not a reliable substitution method. You also need to reduce the
working hour and control the interference from power supply and other devices. The low quality
TV may result in device damage.
Note:
You need a switch cable if you want to use VGA output.
3.5.2 Audio Output
The audio output signal parameter is usually over 200mv 1KΩ (BNC). It can directly connect to
low impedance earphone, active sound box or amplifier-drive audio output device.
If the sound box and the pick-up cannot be separated spatially, it is easy to arouse squeaking. In
this case you can adopt the following measures:
Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.
Reduce the volume of the sound box.
Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice echo and improve
Adjust the layout to reduce happening of the squeaking.

2. Alarm output
The alarm output port should not be connected to high power load directly (It shall be less than 1A)
to avoid high current which may result in relay damage. Please use the co contactor to realize the
connection between the alarm output port and the load.
3. How to connect PTZ decoder
a. Ensure the decoder has the same grounding with NVR, otherwise you may not control the PTZ.
Shielded twisted wire is recommended and the shielded layer is used to connect to the grounding.
b. Avoid high voltage. Ensure proper wiring and some thunder protection measures.
c. For too long signal wires, 120Ω should be parallel connected between A, B lines on the far end
to reduce reflection and guarantee the signal quality.
d. “485 A, B” of NVR cannot parallel connect with “485 port” of other device.
e. The voltage between of A,B lines of the decoder should be less than 5v.

Quick DDNS and Client-end Introduction
1) Background Introduction
Device IP is not fixed if you use ADSL to login the network. The DDNS function allows you to
access the NVR via the registered domain name. Besides the general DDNS, the quick DDNS
works with the device from the manufacturer so that it can add the extension function.
2) Function Introduction
The quick DDNS client has the same function as other DDNS client end. It realizes the bonding of
the domain name and the IP address. Right now, current DDNS server is for our own devices only.
You need to refresh the bonding relationship of the domain and the IP regularly. There is no user
name, password or the ID registration on the server. At the same time, each device has a default
domain name (Generated by MAC address) for your option. You can also use customized valid
domain name (has not registered.).
3) Operation
Before you use our quick DDNS, you need to enable this service and set proper server address,
port value and domain name.
Server address:www.quickddns.com
Port number:80
Domain name:There are two modes: Default domain name and customized domain name.
Except default domain name registration, you can also use customized domain name (You can
input your self-defined domain name.). After successful registration, you can use domain name to
login installed of the device IP.
User name: It is optional. You can input your commonly used email address.
Important
47
Page 57
Do not register frequently. The interval between two registrations shall be more than 60
seconds. Too many registration requests may result in server attack.
System may take back the domain name that is idle for one year. You can get a notification
email before the cancel operation if your email address setup is OK.

For the HDD group setup operation, please note:
Each channel’s records can be stored into the specified HDD Group.
Each HDD Group is corresponding to several hard disks, while one hard disk is only
included in one HDD Group.
Each channel is only corresponding with one HDD Group, while one HDD Group can
store records from several channels.
HDD Group is only available for read-write HDD and self-defined disks, other types of
hard disks cannot be set as HDD Group.
Important:
Current series software version can only set the HDD group operation of the read-write HDDs.
It is not for the redundancy HDD.
HDD Setting
Click the button “HDD Settings” in Figure 4-80, system will pop up an interface as below. See
Figure 4-82.
The number of hard disk from 1 to 2 is shown in the “HDD No.” column (It is to show the max HDD
amount you can install). If serial number is highlighted, it means this interface have access to the
hard disk, otherwise it does not have access to the hard disk.
The “HDD Group” column lists the HDD Group number of current hard disk. You can select HDD
group name from the dropdown list and then click Save button.
Please note, one HDD is corresponding to one group, while one group can have many HDDs.
The HDD group No. is corresponding HDD port, the HDD group No. may vary if you change the
HDD.

6.1.1 Preparation
Before log in, please make sure:
Network connection is right
You have set PC IP address, NVR IP address, subnet mask and gateway. (Please set the IP
address of the same section for the PC and NVR. Please input corresponding gateway and
subnet mask if there are routers.) The default NVR IP address is 192.168.1.108.
Use order ping ***.***.***.***(* NVR IP address) to check connection is OK or not. Usually the
return TTL value should be less than 255.
Open the IE and then input NVR IP address.
System can automatically download latest web control and the new version can overwrite the
previous one.
If you want to un-install the web control, please run uninstall webrec2.0.bat. Or you can go to
C:\Program Files\webrec to remove single folder. Please note, before you un-install, please
close all web pages, otherwise the un-installation might result in error.
Current series product supports various browsers such as Safari, firebox browser, Google
browser. Device only support 1-channel monitor on the Apple PC.
About PoE address setup, operation and allocation.
1) Insert PoE
After you insert PoE, device may try to set a corresponding IP address of the Switch network
adapter. First, system tries to set via arp ping. It then uses DHCP if it finds the DHCP is enabled.
After successfully set IP address, system may use Switch to send out broadcast, system thinks
the connection is OK when there is any response. Now system is trying to login the newly found
IPC. Now please check the interface, you can see the corresponding digital channel is active now.
You can see a small PoE icon at the top left corner. You can see the PoE channel, PoE port
information and etc from the connection list of the remote device interface (Chapter 4.7.11). For
the IP search list, you need to click the IP search to display or refresh.
2) Remove PoE
After you removed PoE, you can see the corresponding digital channel becomes idle (disable).
On the remote device interface, it is removed from the connected list. For the IP search list, you
need to click the IP search to refresh.
3) After you insert PoE, system follows the principles listed below to map channel.
a) If it is your first time to insert PoE, system can map it to the first idle channel. After
map, the channel can memorize the MAC address of the IPC. It is a
<Channel>---<IPC mac> map. If current channel does not connect to other device,
system can memorize current MAC address, otherwise it can refresh to the newly
added device and memorize the <PoE port>---<Channel>.
b) If it is your second time to insert the PoE, system can check the saved MAC address
according to <Channel>---<IPC mac> map to make sure current IPC has connected
89
Page 99
or not. If system finds the previous information and the channel is idle, system can
map it to the previously used channel. Otherwise system goes to the next step.
c) Thirdly, according to the <PoE port>---<Channel> map, system can know the
previous mapping channel of current PoE port. System can select current channel if
it is free. Otherwise, it goes to the next step:
d) Fourthly, system goes to find the first idle channel it can get.
Generally speaking, once you insert PoE, system follow the steps listed above to find the channel
available.
4) When you insert PoE, all channels are in use now.
System can pop up a dialogue box for you to select a channel to overwrite. The title of the pop-up
interface is the name of the current operation PoE port. In this interface, All PoE channel become
grey and can not select.
6.1.2 Log in
Open the IE and then input the NVR IP address in the address column.
For example, if your NVR IP address is 192.168.1.108, then please input http:// 192.168.1.108 in
IE address column. See Figure 6-1.
Input IP
address here.
