2.1 Hard disk installation

Note: Product appearance may vary from the picture shown below , depending on the model you hav e.

Step1: Remove the top cover.
Step2: Find the hard disk bracket in the NVR, and place the compatible hark disk in the bracket.
Step3: With the PCB side facing up, connect the hard disk to the power connector and data connector.
Step4: Fasten the hark disk with the supplied screws, two for each side.

Step5: To install another hard disk, find the supplied hard disk brackets in the package, and fix them onto the NVR

base.

Step6: With the PCB side facing up, connect the hard disk to the power connector and data connector.
Step7: Then, put the hard disk in the bracket, and fasten it with the supplied screws, two for each side.
Step8: Replace the top cover and fasten the screws you loosened in Step1.

Note: Before remote firmware update, please install a HDD into your NVR first to make sure the

firmware update works properly.

Note: It’s not recommended to use a green HDD with your NVR to make sure it works properly.

2.2 Camera IP Configurations by LAN

2.2.1 AUTO Mode

Auto mode is to simplify the complicated network settings within three minutes. The connection mode of the LAN
port is “AUTO” by default. This mode is suitable when the LAN port of the NVR is connected to a hub.

Note: SETTING Path: (ADVANCED CONFIG)  NETWORK  LAN  MODE.

The NVR will automatically configure the IP address of a camera connected by LAN if:

 The connected IP camera is our brand’s IP camera.
 Reset the IP camera to default value (the default IP configuration method of the camera is “DHCP”).
 The camera is powered on before the NVR is powered on.

If the NVR doesn’t configure the IP address of your camera automatically as described above, your IP
camera might NOT be:

 Our brand’s IP camera.
 Set to “DHCP” as its default IP configuration method.

To solve this, use our brand’s IP camera, and reconfigure its IP address to 10.1.1.xx (xx ranges from 11 ~

253), in the same network segment as the NVR.

a) Select “ ” on the bottom of the screen, you’ll see the list of every connected IP camera with its connection

st

atus to this NVR and MAC addres

s.

b)

Select the IP address which is not us

ed, and select “SETUP”.

2.2.2 Static / DHCP Mode

Note: SETTING Path: (ADVANCED CONFIG)  NETWORK  LAN  MODE.

When the LAN port of the NVR is connected to a router (not a hub), you can:
 Choose “Static” when you know the network segment of your router.

For example, the IP address of your router of 192.168.0.1, and the network segment of your router will be

192.168.0.xx (xx is ranged from 2 ~ 254).
You can assign the IP address of the connected IP camera(s) by yourself.

 Choose “DHCP” when your router supports the DHCP function, and you do not know the network segment of

your router.
The IP address of the connected IP camera(s) will be assigned by your router.

CONNECTION

2.3 Manual Connection Setup

To manually assign a channel to connect to the IP camera, select a corresponding “PROTOCOL” from the drop
down list first, click “URI” to enter the address of the camera, and enter its port number. There are four protocol
types available in the drop down list as follows: “AVTECH”, “ONVIF”, “RTSP OVER HTTP”, and “RTSP OVER
UDP”. If you are using AVTECH IP cameras, please select “AVTECH”; otherwise, choose the protocols your
cameras support.
