1. Product Description
The Network Video Recorder is designed for use within a surveillance system,
and performs recordings and playbacks pictures from network cameras in the
system. It is a recording device using a hard disk drive to record camera pictures
instead of using video tapes so that pictures recorded by repeated overwriting
will not experience deterioration of the recorded picture quality. Up to 8 (for NVR-
810) or 16 (for NVR-1610) cameras can be connected via a net- work and it is
possible to record their camera pictures. It is possible to perform the settings or
operate the NVR using a web browser installed on a PC connected to a network,
or remote controller. Recorded video can be played back from remote site by a PC.
Up to 4 PCs (web browsers) can access this unit concurrently and it is possible to
perform the settings and operate this unit. The NVR is compatible with most major
brand cameras and its ability to automatically search and find the available
cameras on the network can greatly reduce the user effort when expanding the
system.

3. Connect to the NVR
There are various ways you can connect to the NVR and below are the
3.1 Use Device Search Utility
suggested methods for different network setup:
.
The NVR is placed in a network with a DHCP server: Connect to the NVR
by using “Device Search” 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).
If the NVR is placed in a corporate network or a local area network where a
DHCP server is already presented, please install the “Device Search” utility from
the bundled CD disk.
To begin, launch the “Device Search” utility from the CD and proceed with the
installation.
Please click “Next” to continue.
Please click “Install” to start the installation.
Once the installation is complete, please check the “Finish”.
Please go to Start => Programs => NVR => Search NVR to run the search tool.
Then you will see the utility start search the network.
The NVR should be located and its IP address should be displayed: Double-click
on it and the program should automatically access the
administration page from your default browser.
