PASSWORD
Strong and unique passwords are crucial to network security. Proper configuration of passwords
and other security settings is the responsibility of the installer and/or end-user.
SETTING A NEW PASSWORD
When you first set up the NVR, you will need to set your own username and password. It is
important that you record these and save them in a secure place for future reference.
•
Language: Choose from one of the languages as the OSD language (default, English).
Device ID: Enter a Device ID (default, 000000). See System Configuration, General Settings on
•
pg. 221 for more information on the Device ID.
• New Admin Password: Enter your new password. The password must be 8~16 characters,
combining at least 2 different types from among the following: uppercase letters, lowercase
letters, digits, and special symbols. You can view your Password Strength below to help you in
choosing a stronger password.
•
Confirm Password: Enter the password again.

• Certificate Of Authorization: If you check this box, you will need to insert a USB drive and
click the Export button to save a secret key to the USB drive that will allow you to reset the
password in the future.
Super Code: This option would allow the device to be unlocked by a temporary, time-bound
•
super code generated by an authorized dealer at your request if, at some future time, you were
to forget the password.
NOTE: Since the Super Code option is obviously much less secure, SECO-LARM does not

NETWORK CONFIGURATION
You will then see the following screen.
DHCP: Check this box if you connect to a router that allows you to use DHCP. The router will
•
assign automatically all the network parameters for your NVR. Otherwise, you will need to fill in
the following boxes manually.
• IP Address: The IP address identifies the NVR in the network. It consists of four groups of
numbers between 0 to 255, separated by periods (for example, 192.168.001.100).
•
Subnet Mask: The subnet mask is a network parameter which defines a range of IP addresses
that can be used in a network. If an IP address is like a street address, then the subnet mask is
like the neighborhood where that street address may be found. The subnet mask address also
consists of four groups of numbers separated by periods (for example, 255.255.000.000).
•
Gateway: This address allows the NVR to access the Internet. The format of the gateway
address is the same as the IP address (for example, 192.168.001.001).
•
IPv6 Address / IPv6 Gateway: Enter the IPv6 address and gateway that you received from
your ISP.
DNS1/DNS2: DNS1 is the primary DNS server and DNS2 is a backup DNS server. Usually, it
•
should be enough just to enter the DNS1 server address.

Startup ENFORCER 4K Network Video Recorder
START WIZARD – NETWORK CONFIGURATION (CONTINUED)
Http/Https/RTSP: This port is used to log in remotely to the NVR (e.g., using the Web Client),
•
or to allow the NVR to stream in real time to another device (e.g., a streaming Media player.).
The ONVIF also uses this same port. If the default port (80) is already being used by another
application, change it here.
Client: This port is used by the NVR to send information. If the default port (9000) is already
•
being used by another application, change it here.
• Internal Port: This port is usually used for a LAN connection.
•
External Port: This port is usually used for a WAN connection.
•
UPNP: This setting is related to whether you want to log in remotely to the NVR using the Web
Client via different router/LAN. If you do and if your router supports UPnP, check here to enable
this option and you will not need to manually configure port forwarding on your router.
Otherwise, if your router does not support UPnP, leave this unchecked and make sure to
manually configure port forwarding on your router.
Mapping Strategy: If you want the router UPnP server to randomly distribute the ports, choose
•
Auto. If you want to select a particular port, choose Manual.
•
Enable PPPoE: PPPoE is a
protocol that allows the NVR to
connect to the network directly via
a DSL modem. Check this box to
enable this and enter the User and
Password provided by your ISP.

NTP tab of the Date/Time window.
NOTE: The NVR polls the time server once each 24 hours. If the NVR loses the correct time for
some reason, it may take up to 24 hours to update, depending on the exact time of the

POE NVR CONNECTION
For a PoE NVR connection, you may connect IP cameras via the internal PoE ports and/or external
LAN(WAN) port. PoE not only provides power over ethernet but supports plug & play connection
for IP cameras.
NOTE: Connecting more than one camera to a single PoE port by any method is not
recommended. You must connect only one IP camera to any single PoE port.
• Switch Mode: Auto mode supports Plug & Play connection via the PoE port. If you want to add
cameras manually, click the edit icon and change the mode to Manual. Alternatively, click
the dropdown arrow at the top of the column to change all channels to Auto or Manual mode.
• PoE Mode: With Auto mode, the maximum bandwidth is limited to 100Mbps. With ePoE mode,
the maximum bandwidth is limited to 10Mbps and PoE transmission distance will be extended
up to 200 meters with Cat5e RJ45 cable or above. If you have a connection problem with Auto
mode when the IP camera is powered by PoE via an RJ45 cable longer than 100 meters, then
change to ePoE mode for a more stable connection. If the video sticks in ePoE mode, try
reducing the encoding bit rate.

VIDEO ENCODING
The first three tabs allow you to configure the encoding parameters of the Mainstream, Substream
and Mobile Stream accordingly.
FPS: This parameter defines the number of frames per second the NVR will record at. By
•
default, the recording frame rate is automatically selected by the NVR based on the camera's
specifications.
• Video Encode Type: Choose from the codecs listed (will vary depending on what is supported
by the connected camera). Among these, the H.265 codec compresses information more
efficiently and provides the best video quality for a given bandwidth and H.265+ has a higher
compression rate than H.265. The H.264 codec will impact the reliability of the connection
between the camera and NVR due to its higher bandwidth requirements while H.264+ has a
higher compression rate than H.264.
•
Bitrate Control: Click to select the bit rate. For a simple scene, such as a gray wall, a constant
bitrate (CBR) is suitable. For a more complex scene, such as a busy street, a variable bitrate
(VBR) is more suitable.

Predefined mode to limit the NVR certain preset bit rates.
Bitrate: Click to the select speed of data transfer (bit rate) that the NVR will use to record video.
•
Recordings encoded at higher bit rates will be of better quality. For cameras monitoring medium
to high traffic areas, increase the bit rate to add more detail to the camera's image. At the same
time, note that this will increase the bandwidth required. It is recommended that you increase
the bit rate in small doses until you are satisfied with the image quality.
•
Audio: If your camera has a built-in microphone or external audio input device, you're able to
record the audio streaming together with the video streaming. Click the checkbox to disable or
enable. Make sure you have already enabled Audio Streaming to use this feature (see Audio
Encoding on pg. 80).
I Frame Interval: Click to configure the number of partial frames that occur between full frames
•
(I-Frames) in the video stream. For example, in a scene where a door opens and a person
walks through, only the movements of the door and the person are stored. The stationary
background that occurs in the previous partial frames are not recorded. If you increase the
