Chapter 1. Product Description
Ideal Solution to Storing More Videos
PLANET NVR-3685, a ne w H.265 IP surveillance s olution, is design ed to work with P LANET
H.265/H.264 camer as or ONVIF cameras for chain stores, public plac es and other security
monitoring applicati ons. The NVR -3685 is a Linux-embedd ed NVR that c an conn ect up to 36
IP cameras and supports 8 hard disks. The unit employs RAID 0/1/5 to optimize the process of
securing data easily and quickly.
Besides, the NVR-3685 features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, eMap, dual local display, e-SATA,
and PLANET DDNS. Once the NVR-3685, armed with a complete surveillance equipment,
detects any suspicious eve nts, you will be alerted with alarm via email; FTP, HTTP and TCP
servers; and more. The NVR-3685 is thus able to further enhance security within the premises
to protect your property. Moreover, it is fully compatible with mobile app and Inter net Explorer
on Windows operating system for multi-platform remote access.

Bandwidth Saving
With H.265 compression technology and embedded with 8 HDDs design providing up to 48TB,
the NVR-3685 offers over 30% more of recording capacity than systems employing H.264
compression. This advance gives users larger storage space for longer durations of video
recording.
Location Management with eMap
The eMap function helps visualize the layout of IP cameras in the surveillance network
enabling you to quickly identify the location of each IP camera, especially when an alarm
9

NVR-3685
occurs. Just uplo ad the p ictures of the m onitoring locations and dr ag and drop the I P camer a
icons to the right place on the eMap.
High-resolution Local Display
The NVR-3685 comes with HDMI and VGA video output interfaces for dual local display. It can
be connected to an HDMI monitor and VGA monitor separately, where live viewing contents or
playback contents can be displayed simultaneously. With the dual local display function, us ers
can monitor locally with high flexibility in a different display resolution, thus eliminating the
need for a separate PC to view video fr om the unit. Besides , the NVR also ca n be operated
with the USB mouse to configure and monitor all the system easily.
Real-time, Remote Monitoring
You are able to search and install Planet IP cameras via Web interface with more convenience
and efficiency. Besides the Web interface, the NVR a lso supp orts aCV5 an d iCV5 viewer app
software for smart phone, so you can connect to the NVR anywhere, anytime.

Live View and CMS Administration
The Central Managem ent System (CMS) of the NVR-3685 can m anage up to 256 channels .
With low bitrate transm ission and unlimited group managem ent, the CMS is able to view a
maximum of 64 channels on one page a nd you may switch bet ween groups to see up to 2 56
channels of live v ie w or a maximum of 16 channels o f playback on one page. T h e CM S of the
NVR-3685 is good for chai n stores via Intern et, large installations in the LAN envi ronment, or
any environment where its control center is utilized to monitor via multiple NVRs.

There are various ways you can connect to the NVR and below are the suggested methods
for different network setups:
The NVR is placed in a network with a DHCP server: Connect to the NVR by using
“PLANET IP Wizard II” Utility.
The NVR is placed in a network without DHCP server (or you are connecting to it directly):
Access NVR with its default IP (192.168.0.20).
3.1 Using Device Search Utility
If the NVR is placed in a corporate network or a local area network where a DHCP server is
already presented, please install the “PLANET IP Wizard II” utility from “Download” of
NVR-3685 Web page.
