1 Introduction

NVRsolo is a Linux-embedded stand-alone system, providing a stable and good quality local display through HDMI or VGA interface. As a network-based surveillance system, NVRsolo processes remote access ability to strengthen its usability.

NVRsolo is compatible with more than 70 brands of IP cameras, with monthly free pack update. It features two useful functions, one-click setup and ezNUUO. One-click setup saves the time in camera configuration by searching and automatically adding cameras in the system. ezNUUO facilitates the process of establishing Internet access to the NVRsolo system, meaning there is no more router settings for remote (IE 8 and IE 9) and mobile viewing (iPhone, iPad, Android).

Being consistent with all the systems in NUUO Mainconsole family, NVRsolo is compatible with NUUO Central Management System, making it appropriate not only for home or SMB recording, but also for chain stores or ATM/bank projects by POS support.

This user’s manual encompasses the information users need to set up and

configure the system. It is recommended that you keep one copy of this manual for any necessary reference in the future.

3 Set up the Unit

Set up the unit by installing the hard drive(s), connecting to network and power supply.

3.1 Unpack the Unit

This package contains the following items:

 The unit  IR remote control, 1.5M IR extender cable  Two type of screws for 2.5”/3.5”disk drives, SATA cable  [Horizontal] foot pads; [Vertical] Stand, foot pads and screws  12V 4A 48W power adapter, power cord  Warranty card, Quick Start Guide, CD with Install Wizard, Remote

Live Viewer, Playback System, Backup System, Verification Tool and Offline License Tool application, user manual, and quick start guide

Battery spec is 1.5V, AAA, R03. Two batteries are required for a remote control.

3.2 Install Hard Drives

Refer to compatibility list and install HDDs. For optimal performance consideration, install disks with the same model and storage capacity. The available RAID level depends on the amount of disks installed.

Screw*4 (3.5” HDD used)

HDD bracket

3.5” HDD

Page 10

1 bay unit: install 2.5” HDD

When installing HDDs on HDD bracket, please mind your hands from scratching.

3.3 Connect the Unit and Devices within the Network

Connect the unit, cameras, and router/switch. If you need to make the video visible over the Internet, please connect to a “router” with Internet connection, and the unit will retrieve an IP address through DHCP by default.

The unit processes built-in DHCP service, which takes the job of router to assign IP

addresses, which is suitable for the pure LAN environment.

3.4 Connect the Monitor

The unit processes two display interfaces, VGA and HDMI. Connect the monitor to the unit.

The supporting display resolutions are 1920x1080, 1280x1024, 1280x720, and

1024x768. Please confirm that one of the resolutions is supported by your monitor.

3.5 Power on

Attach the power cord from the power source to the power adapter. Connect the power adapter to the back of the unit enclosure. See the rear view

figure. Press the power button once connecting the power. See the front view figure.

It takes about a minute for the unit to fully power up. Once it is powered up:

 The System Status LED turns blue  The buzzer beeps one time

To power off the unit, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds until two beeps are heard. The system will proceed to shut down once the button is released.

If the system crashes or stops responding, press and hold the power button for 10

seconds to enforce hardware power-off, which turns off the computer by cutting off

the power directly. Hence, such power-off isn’t recommended for a system that is

working properly.

Page 12

4 First Power-on

To power on the unit, press the power button on the front panel. The unit will sound a beep and powers on.

When the system starts up for the first time, it asks users to select the language to use in the system. Then the system will restart again to apply the selected language.

Language can also be changed later in Main Menu > System menu > System Settings

submenu > General tabbed page

Right after the restart, the system will trigger the Install Wizard, which will lead through some basic settings of the operating system.

Page 13

4.1 Install Wizard

The Install Wizard opens featuring two modes:

Mode

Description

Express Mode

Features the quick setup of the unit including administrator password setup, online license activation, camera setup, system date/time setting and upgrade notification activation.

 Select this mode if you are not familiar with the network settings or not

sure if your network includes a router.

 Before proceeding with this mode, connect all the cables and cameras.

Advanced Mode

Features more settings than the Express Mode does by the additional DHCP server settings, network settings and RAID level setting.

All the settings featured by Install Wizard are accessible from the operating system’s Main Menu, and thus can be skipped for makeshift.

1. Setup the password of administrator. If you want to keep the default as

admin, click the Next button directly.

Page 14

2. The unit possesses built-in DHCP service, which enables the system to

dynamically assign IP addresses to the connected camera clients within the same subnet. When you have router in your network, we strongly recommend choosing Always disable to avoid any IP conflicts. If you are not sure if there is any router in your network, please choose Smart enable, which detects the network environment then decide to enable or disable the service. Click the Next button.

3. If you select Smart enable from the previous setup, there is at least one LAN

has to be set as a static IP. Click the Next button.

Page 15

4. Define the IP range for built-in DHCP server. The system will assign IP

addresses based on the range you defined to devices. Click the Next button.

5. There are several base licenses differed by models. Activate camera license to

have more channel capacity, and click the Next button.

Page 16

6. Click the Setup button to search and automatically add the cameras within

the same subnet. Click the Next button.

Page 17

7. Set up the time zone, date, and time, and adjust daylight saving changes if

needed. Once daylight saving function is enabled, the time change will activate automatically every year based on the recurrence you set. Click the Next button.

8. Check “Enable Upgrade Notification” box if you want to receive notification

when there is a newer FW version. Click the Next button. If you are using remote control to set up, you can press + button to quickly flip through the agreement.

Page 18

9. Follow the following instruction and select the RAID type you want to create.

If you have created a volume, you will see the information of this volume on the table as the picture below. Click the Next button.

The available RAID level depends on the amount of disks installed.

10. Review your settings. If the settings are correct, click the Finish button to

exit the settings procedure and activate the system.

Page 19

Once the preliminary setup is through, the system auto-restarts. Before the operating system opens onscreen, users are prompted to enter a username and password to log in the operating system. The username and password are both

“admin” by default if you haven’t provided an alternate password in the Install Wizard. (Username isn’t changeable with Install Wizard.)

Click the keyboard icon to open

the virtual keyboard for text input.

Click to submit.

5 User Interface

The operating system presents its user interface in two major screens to deliver the service, one is the Live View screen; the other is Playback screen. The Live View screen shows the instant video(s) while the Playback screens plays the recorded videos. Both screens come with a horizontal bar baring a handful of clickable buttons to launch actions from the system and allow users to exert the

system’s functions. The following of this chapter will guide you through these two

screens.
