Menu System Overview
The detailed functions and settings of the Ness Auto IP NVR can be set through the
intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) OSD setup menu. Collaborating with a USB mouse,
setting up the NVR can be easy as operating on a PC. This chapter particularizes the items
and options in the OSD setup menu.
< Account and Password >
Press MENU and select an account to login. There are two preset accounts: “admin” and
“user”. The next step is to enter a corresponding password. The preset password for the
administrator account “admin” is “1234”, while the preset password for the account “user” is
“4321”.
NOTE: It is strongly suggested to change the preset password to prevent
unauthorized access to the unit.
An icon displayed at the status bar will show the authority level of the account. Under logout
condition, the icon will show “Guest”. When an account is logged in, its authority level
number (1~8) will be shown.
Before completely logout, other functions can also be accessed without having to login
again. There are two ways to logout: manually logout by pressing ESC key at Live mode, or
auto logout when keys are not pressed for 5 minutes at Live/ Menu mode.
< Key Usage >
The key usage differs under general OSD setup menu and in the virtual keyboard. The
difference can be seen while setting some items, such as Unit Name and IP Address.
Key Usage in OSD Setup Menu
Below introduce some keys used frequently in the OSD setup menu.
<Direction Key>
In the OSD setup menu, Direction keys are used to move the cursor to select
menu items. UP / DOWN are used to change the value in the selected field.

the software, updates the system files, and reboots automatically.
The upgrade may take several minutes to save the changes in the memory of
the system. After the unit is rebooted, please check the software version
again.
NOTE: No power interruption is allowed during the software update.
Ensure that no power interruption can occur until the unit is completely
rebooted.
NOTE: Do not remove the external USB ThumbDrive® / DVD+RW
before the unit has completely shut down (hard drive and fan are off).
Removing the external USB ThumbDrive® / DVD+RW before shut
down can cause the system to update improperly.
Software Upgrade Via the Internet
This item is used to upgrade the unit’s software via the internet. Select one of
the listed software versions and choose <Yes>. The Ness Auto IP NVR
downloads the software, updates the system files, and reboots automatically.

This item allows users to select the service type among <LAN>, <PPPoE>,
and <None>. If users are using a wired local area network communication,
please select <LAN>. If users are using a broadband medium, such as DSL
Line or cable modem, please select <PPPoE>.
PPPoE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. It is a specification
for connecting the users on an Ethernet to the Internet through a common
broadband medium.
If <None> is selected, then there is no need to set further LAN/ PPPoE
settings. Therefore, the second item <LAN Setup> will be inaccessible.

- DHCP
This item allows user to obtain a dynamic IP address from DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server when the unit boots up.
When using DHCP, the settings are dynamic and they will be changed
every time users power up and power off the unit, depending on the
network’s setup.
If the item is enabled (ON), a dynamic IP will be assigned to the Ness
Auto IP NVR. In this case, user does not need to configure a static IP
and the Ethernet settings, including IP address, Netmask, Gateway
and DNS settings, will be read only.
If users are using permanent addressing, set DHCP to <OFF> for
setting the IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS. Check with the
network system administrators or IT personnel for appropriate values
for these settings.

- IP
The item is used to configure the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the
unit. The IP address is the identifier for the computer or device on a
TCP/IP LAN or WAN. Please note that to set a static IP address, DHCP
must be set to <OFF>.
NOTE: The IP address cannot be set to “192.168.50.***” due to
the specific IP is reserved for NAS devices.
- Netmask
Netmask is a 32-bit mask used to divide an IP address into subnets
and specify the networks available hosts. Its value is defined by the
network administrator. It takes the form as ***.***.***.***, for example,
255.255.255.255.
This item allows users to enter the value of the Netmask for the unit.
Please note that to configure the item, DHCP must be set to <OFF>.
- Gateway
Gateway is a node on a network that serves as an entrance to another
network. Users are allowed to specify the IP address of the gateway or
router associated with this unit. To configure this item, DHCP must be
set to <OFF>.
- DNS
DNS is the abbreviation for “Domain Name System”, which is an
Internet service that translates domain names (eg: www.DNS.com)
into IP addresses. It helps to make our life easier because we do net
have to memorize IP address but just the domain names, which are
easier to be memorized.
The item allows users to specify the IP address of the Domain Name
System associated with the unit. To configure this item, DHCP must be
set to <OFF>.
If the network server is unavailable when using DHCP, the unit
searches for the network server and boots up slower than as usual.
The search of network continues until it times out.

Normal PPS
Normal PPS (Picture per Second) is used to set the recording rate for normal
status. Please note that the normal PPS for all channels can be added up to
the maximum PPS for each Record mode. To increase one channel’s PPS,
users may have to reduce others’ first. Event PPS is not restricted to this rule,
since a smart event calculating program of the unit will handle the total PPS to
meet the maximum PPS with a correct weighting. For example, if channel 1
is set to event mode with 30PPS, the remaining 30PPS will be equally
distributed to other 15 channels, which mean each channel will be set to 2
PPS.
Normal Qlty
The item is used to set the picture size for normal status recording. The
available options are listed as follow: <Low>, <Fair>, <Mid>, <High> and
<Best>.
Event Max PPS
Event Max PPS is used to set the event recording rate for Event status.
Normally, the Event PPS is set to equal or greater than Normal PPS; the
setting is depending on the application. If the Event PPS is set to <0>, the
Ness Auto IP NVR stops recording event video during alarms.
Event Qlty
The item is used to set the picture size for event status recording. The
available options are <Low>, <Fair>, <Mid>, <High> and <Best>.

When an event is triggered while normal recording is in effect, the unit will start copying the
pre-alarm and the post-alarm video to the event video. The pre-alarm duration can be set
from 0~30 seconds. The quality of the pre-alarm video is the same as the quality setting for
normal record video; and the quality of the post-alarm video is the same as the quality
setting for event record video.
< Circular Recording >
Users can choose to record video in circular mode or in linear mode. If circular mode is

Appendix C: HDD COPY TOOL (EXT2IFS)
The data system of the NVR’s HDD is totally different from Windows® based PC. So if users
just simply plug the HDD onto the PC, the PC will not recognize its existence. Hence, in
order to access data from the NVR’s HDD, users will need a special HDD Copy Tool driver
called EXT2IFS. This appendix section will introduce how to download, install, and setup
EXT2IFS and the NVR’s HDD.
Installation of the NVR’s HDD
EXT2IFS can be found on the website: http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm. A
detailed description about the driver can also be found. Plug in the NVR’s HDD to the PC,
then follow the steps below.
Step 1. Download EXT2IFS to the PC from the website listed above.
Step 2. Extract the EXT2IFS driver that was just downloaded. Open the extracted folder
and double click on “service.exe”, and the window below will be displayed.
Step 3. Click <Step 1>, then choose <Install to SystemRoot> and <Start driver on
boot> options, as shown below. Then, click <Install Driver> button.

Step 5. Click <Step3>. Then, click <Start Driver> button. Now, reboot the PC for the
changes to take effect. The HDD installation is now completed.
After the NVR’s HDD is correctly installed, videos in the NVR’s HDD can be played back by
using the NVRPlayer. Refer to Appendix C: NVRPlayer for detail instruction about the
operation of the NVRPlayer.
