SECTION 2: INITIAL SETUP
SECTION 2
Initial Setup
When the NVR is rs t powered on, it must be activated. Activation sets the admin user password and a Lock Pattern if used.
After Activation, you can use the Wizard to setup the basic conguration of the s ystem, including network parameters, time, cameras, etc.
2.1 Activation
When the NVR powers on, a “SYSTEM INITIALIZING” splash sc reen normally appears within 3 minutes. If it is the r st time powering on the re corder, an activation screen will op en. You must use this menu to setup an admin password for the system, and an Unlock Pattern, if preferred, for quickly accessing the conguration menus if the recorder.
1. In the screen shown above, enter your admin password in the New Admin Password and Conrm Password elds (see
below). Ensure that the Password Strength of your password is at least Medium (preferably Stron g).
NOTE
6
If you forget your p assword, you will be unable to logi n the system, please contact your vendo r to reset the password.
SECTION 2: INITIAL SETUP
2. If you want to use an Unlock Patter n to access the conguration menus, open the Unlock Enable drop down list, and t hen click Enable. Click Apply to continue.
3. Click the Draw button to open the Set Unlock Pattern window.
4. In the Set Unlock Pattern window, drag the mouse cursor across a patter n of circles, then release the mouse.
5. Repeat the pattern you entered, and then click Apply to save the conguration. The conguration Wizard initial screen will open.
7N4, N8, N16, N32 NVR V8.1.0 User Manual
SECTION 2: INITIAL SETUP
2.2 Using the Wizard for initial conguration
Use the Wizard to setup the basic conguration of your s ystem. Advanced conguration opt ions are available in the Setup menus. Refer to the rmware user manual (to be provided) for your recorder for more information.
1. When the initial Wizard window appears, click Start Wizard to cont inue.
2. The next Wizard screen is used to con gure the network set tings of the recorder. Initially, the recorder acquires network using DHCP (Dynamic Hos t Conguration Processor) which usually exist s somewhere on your LAN. DHCP provides network settings that are compatible with other device s on your LAN.
8
SECTION 2: INITIAL SETUP
a. It is preferred to have xed network settings instead of dynamic settings, however. To change from dynamic network
settings to xed set tings, copy the settings found through DHCP f or the Local Connection and DNS, uncheck the DHCP select box near the top of the menu, then re-enter the DHCP Local Connec tion and DNS settings. You can also enter your own networ k settings for the recorder (these must b e compatible with other devices on the LAN). If you choos e to enter your own network parameter s, consider the following:
IP Address: The IP address identies the NVR in the network . It consists of four groups of numb ers between 0 to 255, separated by periods. For example, “192.168.001.100”.
Subnet Mask: Subnet mask is a net work parameter which denes a range of IP address es that can be used in a network . If IP address is like a street where you live then subnet mask is like a neighborhood. The subnet address also consists of four groups of number s, separated by periods. For example, “255.255.000.00 0”.
Gateway: This address allows the NVR to access the Internet. The format of the Gateway addre ss is the same as the IP Address. For example, “192.168.001.001”.
DNS1/DNS2: DNS1 is the primary DNS ser ver and DNS2 is a backup DNS server. Usually should be enough just to enter the DNS1 server addres s.
b. You can also congure the ports the NVR. If you ne ed to change the port number s of your NVR, consider the following:
Web Port: This is the port that you will use to log in remotely to the NVR (e.g. using the Web Client). If the default port 80 is already taken by other applications, please change it.
Client Port: This is the por t that the NVR will use to send information through (e.g. using the mobile app). If the default port 90 00 is already taken by other applications, please change it.
RTSP Port: This is the por t that the NVR will be allowed to transmit real-time streaming to other device (e.g. using a streaming Media player.).
HTTPS: HTTPS is the secure ver sion of HTTP, the protocol over which dat a is sent between your browser and the website that you are connec ted to. If you want to log in remotely to the NVR using Web Client, you need to complete the port forwarding in your router. The default port number is 0443.
PPPoE: PPPoE is an advanced protocol that allows the NVR to connect to t he network more directly via DSL modem. Check the Enable PPPOE box, and then enter the User name and Password of the PPPoE.
c. Click Next to continue.
3. Use the Date/Time menu to set the Date, Time, Date F ormat, Time Format, Time Zone, NTP and DST (daylight savings time).
9N4, N8, N16, N32 NVR V8.1.0 User Manual
SECTION 2: INITIAL SETUP
a. When changing parameters in the Date and Time tab, consider the following:
Date: Click on the calendar icon to set the sy stem date.
Time: Click to set the system time.
Date Format: Choose from the drop down menu to set preferred date f ormat.
Time Format: Choose time for mat between 24-hour and 12-hour.
Time Zone: Set the correct time zone.
b. Click the NTP tab. To use a Network Time s erver to automatically set the date an d time in your recorder, check the Enable
NTP box, and then select a Server Address from the drop down list. Click Update Now to acquire the current Date and Time information.
c. Click the DST (Daylight S avings Time) tab. Set up the values in the DST menu to match your local DST custom, if preferred.
10
If changing the DST s ettings, consider the following:
DST: Enable if Daylight Saving Time (DST ) is observed in your region.
Time Oset: Select the amount of time to o set for DST
Time Mode: Choose to set the daylight saving time in weeks or in days
Start Time/End Time: Set the start time and end time fo r daylight saving.
SECTION 2: INITIAL SETUP
4. Click Next to continue.
5. In the IP Camera menu, the Wizard automatic ally lists all cameras connected to the channel R J-45 connectors on the back panel. If some channels are unused, you can add compatible net work IP cameras to the NVR up to the capacity of t he NVR. For instance, if you have an 8- channel NVR and have four cameras plugged into the backpanel channel connectors, you can add 4 additional IP cameras that are inst alled on the network, for a total of 8.
