57
5.4 Device Configuration
You can configure SATA disk, USB disk, and UPS settings in this section.
5.4.1 SATA Disk
This page shows the model, size and current status of the disk(s) i nstalled on NVR.
You ca n format and check disks, and scan bad blocks on the disks. When the SATA
disks are formatted, NVR will create the following default share folders:
z record_nvr: The folder for saving regular recording files
z record_nvr_alarm: The folder for alarm recording
58
You can create the disk volume of the following type:
z Single Disk Volume
Each disk will be used as a standalone disk. However, if a disk is damaged, all
data will be lost.
Note: If there is only one hard disk, please install it in the tray of HDD1.
z RAID 1 Mirroring Disk Volume
RAID 1 (mirroring disk) protects your data by automatically backing up the
contents of one drive onto the second drive of a mirrored pair. This protects
your data if one of the drives fails. Unfortunately, the storing capacity is equal
to a single drive, as the second drive is used to automatically back up the first.
Mirroring Disk is suitable for personal or corporate use to store important data.
z RAID 0 Striping Disk Volume
RAID 0 (striping disk) combines 2 or more drives into one larger disk. It offers
the fastest disk access but it does not have any protection of your data if the
striped array fails. The disk capacity equals the number of drives in the array
times the size of the smallest drive. Striping disk is usually used to maximize
your disk capacity or for fast disk access but not for storing important data.
z Linear Disk Volume
You can combine two or more disks into one larger disk. During file saving,
the file will be saved on physical disks sequentially but does not have a disk
failure file protection function. The overall capacity of linear disk is the sum of
all disks. Linear disk is generally used for storing large data and is not
appropriate to use for file protection of sensitive data.
59

Appendix F Configuration Examples
Environment 1: NVR, IP Camera and monitoring PC are all in the same
network
Network Surveillance Installation for SOHO and SMB
IP Address
NVR 192.168.1.1
PC 192.168.1.100
Camera 1 192.168.1.101
Camera 2 192.168.1.102
Camera 3 192.168.1.103
In the example, just add the camera to NVR by entering the cameras’ IP address.
96
Environment 2: NVR and IP camera are installed behind the router, while
the monitoring PC is located remotely
IP Address Mapped port in router
NVR 192.168.1.1 8000
Camera 1 192.168.1.101 8001
Camera 2 192.168.1.102 8002
Camera 3 192.168.1.103 8003
Router public IP 219.87.144.205
PC 10.8.10.100
97
In this example, to allow a remote PC to connect to NVR and the cameras, y ou need
to:
Step 1. Set up port mapping (virtual server) on the router.
From Forward to
219.87.144.205:8000 192.168.1.1:80
219.87.144.205:8001 192.168.1.101:80
219.87.144.205:8002 192.168.1.102:80
219.87.144.205:8003 192.168.1.103:80
Step 2. Add camera to NVR by entering the IP address of the camera in the “IP
Address” settings, and the public IP address of the router and the mapped ports of
the camera to the “WAN IP Address” settings.
Note: When configuring the network camera, WAN IP and LAN IP must be entered.
To open FTP (port 21) and SMB (port 445) of NVR on WAN, you have to set the
following port mapping settings:
From Forward to
219.87.144.205:21 192.168.1.1:21
219.87.144.205:139 192.168.1.1:139
219.87.144.205:445 192.168.1.1:445
After finishing the above two steps, you can acce ss NVR via W AN by entering the IP
address http://219.87.144.205:8000 in the IE browser. Then login NVR via the
correct user name and password.
If the port specified to NVR is 80, you can enter http://219.87.144.205 to access
NVR as the default port of HTTP is 80.
Note: If the router does not use a fixed IP, you wi ll need to configure DDNS on t he
router. Other configurations are the same as above.
98
Environment 3: NVR and IP camera are all located remotely
IP Address
NVR 219.87.144.205
Camera 1 61.62.100.101
Camera 2 61.62.100.102
Camera 3 61.62.100.103
In this example, just add the camera to NVR by adding its IP address to the “IP
Address” settings.
Note: If there is a particular port for connecting the camera, please specify the port
in NVR configuration.
99
Environment 4: NVR and IP camera are installed behind the router
IP Address
NVR 1 192.168.1.101
NVR 2 192.168.1.102
NVR 3 192.168.1.103
Router public IP 219.87.145.205
In the example, to allow a PC which is located remotely to access each NVR via FTP ,
you need to:
Step 1. Set up port mapping (virtual server) on the router
From Forward to
NVR 1 219.87.145.205:2001 192.168.1.101:21
NVR 2 219.87.145.205:2002 192.168.1.102:21
NVR 3 219.87.145.205:2003 192.168.1.103:21
You could directly connect NVR 1 via FTP by ftp://219.87.145.205:2001
You could directly connect NVR 2 via FTP by ftp://219.87.145.205:2002
You could directly connect NVR 3 via FTP by ftp://219.87.145.205:2003
Step 2. Enable FTP Port Mapping in NVR
If you want to connect each NVR via FTP by clicking
button in playback
page of each NVR, you need to enable FTP port mapping in Network Settings > File
Services > FTP Service on the system administration page and set the mapped port
number.
Mapped Port
NVR 1 2001
NVR 2 2002
NVR 3 2003
After finishing the above two steps, you can access NVR via FTP by entering the IP
address in the IE browser or clicking
button in playback page. Then login
NVR via the correct user name and password.
