Connect to the NVR
There are various ways you can connect to the NVR and below are the
suggested methods for different network setup:
• The NVR is placed in a network with a DHCP server: Connect to
the NVR by using “Device Search” Utility
• The NVR is placed in a network without DHCP server (or you are
connecting to it directly): Access the NVR with its default IP
Use Device Search Utility
If the NVR is placed in a corporate network or a local area network
where a DHCP server is already presented, run the “Device Search”
utility from a computer that is on the same network and locate the
NVR with its IP address that is assigned by the top-level DHCP server.
To begin, launch the “Deivce Search” utility from the CD and proceed
with the installation:
Once the installation is complete, check the “Launch the Search AP”
option and click “Finish”.
The search should start automatically and its status should be displayed.
The NVR should be located and its IP address should be displayed.
Double-click on an NVR and the search program should automati- cally
access the NVR’s web administration page from your default browser.
You should be prompted for the the NVR’s username and password.
Enter its default username “admin” and password “admin” and
then click”OK” to enter the system
Access the NVR with its default IP address
The NVR comes with a pre-configured static IP “192.168.101.50”.
However, it is only used when there is no DHCP server presented in
the network. The NVR will turn on its DHCP server function and act as
the DHCP server in the network. To connect to the NVR, use a PC that
is on the same network over a switch or hub, or connect the PC
directly to the NVR using a crossover CAT5 Ethernet cable.
The PC that is connected directly to the NVR (or within the same local
area network) should receive an IP from the NVR. Simply access the
NVR from your web browser with its IP address
Again, you should be prompted for the username and password. Enter
its default username “admin” and password “admin” and then
click”OK” to enter the system
Set up Password
The default login username and password is admin/admin. To change
the password of the admin account, go to “Setup” --> “System Configurations” --> “User Account”, click on the “admin” account in the
account list then press the “edit” button to change its password.
Finally, click “Apply” to save the change.
Camera Installation
Add a Camera -- Automatic Search
Click the “Search” button to perform the cam era search.
You should be prompted to install Active Control component in order
for the search to function properly. Go ahead and click “Install”
After that, the search should begin and its status should be displayed:
Found cameras should be listed and simply select a camera from the
list and press “Configure”
Its corresponding information should be displayed in the “Camera
Information” section. Enter its username and password and select the
channel ID and name the camera.
Click on “Detect” to establish connection between the recorder and the
camera. If connection establishes successfully, camera’s detailed
information should be polled and displayed as below.
Adjust its video format, frame rate, resolution or bitrate...etc if you
wish and then click “Add” to finish adding the camera
Add a camera manually
Simply follow the instruction described above but instead of using the
“Search” function, enter the camera’s IP address and credential in the
“Camera Information” manually
