The built-in PoE ports are plug-and-play,
requiring no configuration for Platinum IP
cameras. The cameras will be arranged in
order by port number.
See the Platinum Download Page for the latest
firmware and software.
Be sure to close and reopen Firefox, Chrome,
or Safari after installing the web component.
The Mac web component for Safari is available
from the Platinum Download Page.
The USB ports on the front and back can be
used for either the mouse or a flash drive.
It helps to plan out IP addresses in advance and
label Ethernet cords. This aids organization
and troubleshooting.
It is often easier to copy and paste the DDNS
information from the ns1.dvrlists.com site into
the web interface. This prevents typos.

Warning
!
!
The NVR should be connected to the network
from its single LAN port. If the NVR comes
with built-in PoE ports, they should only be
connected to IP cameras.
The built-in PoE ports should not be
connected to a switch or router.
Only PoE powered IP cameras should be
connected to the built-in PoE switch.
Turn off power on external PoE switch ports
that are not connect to an IP camera.
The LAN port of the NVR can be connected to
a router, a switch, or an unpowered port of a
PoE switch.
IP cameras connect to the built-in PoE port
are isolated from the rest of the network.
This conserves bandwidth, but restricts IPC
configuration to the NVR.

Connecting the NVR to the Network
Networking the NVR, IPC, & External PoE
PoE Switch and NVR to Router
+ Easier setup; uses one switch port
- No bandwidth isolation for PoE switch
NVR to PoE Switch to Router
+ Bandwidth isolation
- Uses another port on the PoE switch
To reach the network settings, go to:
Menu > Configuration > Network
Assign or Find the NVR’s IP Address
The current network settings are also in Maintenance:
Menu > Maintenance > System Info > Network
By default DHCP is disabled. The IP address is 192.0.0.64

Scanning & Adding IP Cameras
Warning
!
!
1-Click Camera Adding
As of the December 2013 firmware update, the NVRs can quickly add
all cameras with a single click. The NVR will scan for, assign addresses
to, and add cameras. The button is on the toolbar at the bottom of the
screen (right click to display).
The NVR will show the cameras that it found and added.
Single Camera Adding
The NVR has built-in tools to scan for and add the IP cameras
individually. The tool is located under:
Menu > Camera > Camera
http://www.ltsecurityinc.com/ ▲A u t h o r – R y a n D L a n g 4 | P a g e
Click on the plus sign (+) to add a camera. The camera will be given a
free IP address.
Make sure the NVR has an IP address on the local network.
Scanning from the IP Tool (SADP)
Warning
!
!
The IP tool (SADP) can be used from a Windows® computer to scan for
Platinum devices. This allows configuration of the IP addresses for IP
cameras, NVRs, and even DVRs.
The device’s IP address and Gateway (router) can be set from here.
The device’s password must be entered for changes to be accepted.
The default password is:
12345
The devices should show up automatically. It checks every few
seconds. Click refresh to force it to check again and to remove devices
that are no longer there.
Click on a device to see its current information.

The “Port:” is the server port used by the NVMS7000 or by the NVR.
The “Port:” is not the web (HTTP) port.
Camera Configuration (Picture / Name)
Adjusting a Camera’s Picture
The camera image can be adjusts is a variety of ways (e.g. rotated
180°). Please note that the camera, itself, is being configured from the
NVR. These options are under:
Menu > Camera > Image
Changing a Camera’s Name
By default, each camera is named “CAMERA01.” This is because the
name of each camera is stored, not on the NVR, but on the camera
itself. The name can be changed from:
Menu > Camera > OSD
To rotate an image, change the “Mirror” setting to “Center”.
Note: If the IP camera is connected to an external PoE switch, then the
camera can be configured directly from its web client.

Note: It is often easier to use the web component for this task. It is
easier to type from a computer. A keyboard cannot be used with the
NVR.
Camera Positioning
Moving Camera Feeds
Camera feeds can be rearranged on the NVR’s display. Click the [X] to
remove a feed. Click the screen position and then a camera’s icon ()
to add that camera. Use the left arrow [<] and right arrow [>] to see
more screens (if the cameras won’t all fit into one).
Menu > Live View > View
Changing Camera Order
Cameras connected to the built-in PoE switch are in the order of the
ports that they are connected to. Cameras connected to an external
PoS switch are in the order they were added. They can be removed
and added again to change their order.
Menu > Camera > Camera
To change the spotout (if available), switch the “VGA/HDMI” to “CVBS”
and reorganize the camera feeds.
Note: Moving the camera feedswill not affect the web client.
Changing the camera orderwill affect the web client.
