Chapter 1 Product Introduction
1.1 Overview
The new generation NVR (Network Video Recorder) is designed for high performance
digital surveillance. It adopts the embedded processors and embedded Linux system,
applies excellent encode chip and decode chip, and integrates many of the advanced
technologies, such as standard H.264 with low bit rate, embedded system technology,
large capacity hard disc storage technology, TCP/IP network technology, intelligent
technology, etc. Burning applications in FLASH can make the system more stable, images
clearer and function much more powerful. NVR is a networking device which based on
TCP/IP protocols, and accesses the digital video streams from video & audio capture
devices and alarm devices via an IP network to implement functions like preview, record,
playback, camera control, alarm, etc. NVR has a strong flexibility in building network video
surveillance system, and remotely managing devices via LAN or WAN.

1.3 Special Instructions
1. One IP device supports to be connected to one NVR; otherwise it will cause
management confusion for IP device.
2. Please pay attention to network connection environment because of high
requirement of network environment for NVR: Gigabit Switch and Gigabit Ethernet
cable, no IP address conflict.
3. Maximum bandwidth supported currently is 65M (contains main stream and sub
stream). So the recommended configuration: 8 channels are configured to 4M and
25 frames; another 8 channels are configured to 3M and 25 frames. The frame rate
and stream can be adjusted within the prescribed bandwidth as required.
1.4 Convention
There are the following conventions in this user manual:
NVR: Network Video Recorder
DVR: Digital Video Recorder
IPC: IP Camera
IP PTZ: Network High Speed Dome
Device: This generally refers to IPC and IP PTZ in the “IPC Settings” section, and
refers to NVR in other parts of this manual.
Notice: Here take 16ch NVR as example in this user manual. All examples
and pictures used in the manual are from 16ch NVR. The operation interfaces
for other models are similar besides their channel and frame rate.

Operation processes with remote controller to control multi-NVR
The default device ID of the NVR is 0. When using a remote controller to control
single NVR, it’s not necessarily to reset the device ID, user can do operation directly; when
using a remote controller to control multiple NVR, please refer to below steps:
Step1: Activate remote controller to control NVR: enable NVR, turn the IR sensor of
the remote controller to the IR receiver that on the front panel, press “add” key and then
input device ID (Range from: 1-65535) with other digital keys, after that, press ENTER
button to confirm.
Step2: User can check the device ID by enter into System configurationBasic
configurationdevice ID. User also can set other NVRs with the same device ID. For
more convenient to operate, we don’t recommend user to set the device ID too long.
Step3: Cancel controller to control NVR: without any action on keys about half a
minute later, the NVR will not be controlled by remote controller.
