MAKING CONNECTIONS
8 channel PoE NVR shown. Similar configuration for 4/16 CH PoE NVR
1. Connect the network cable from the single CAT5 port of the
NVR to the Network. (#1 in the image above)
2. Connect the IP cameras to the PoE Ports on the back of the
NVR. (#2 in the image above)
3. Connect a monitor to the NVR using either the VGA port (#3 in
the image above) or the HDMI port (#4 in the image above) and the
appropriate cable.
4. Connect the included USB mouse to the rear USB port of the
NVR. (#5 in the image above)
5. Connect the supplied power cable from the 3 prong
receptacle on the back of the NVR to a suitable electrical
outlet (110-120VAC) (#6 in the image above)
6. The 4 port version of this NVR requires connecting both the
12V DC (NVR power supply), as well as the built in PoE (48VDC)
power supply.
NOTE: An uninterruptable power supply is recommended
for the NVR and any power supplies for the cameras, both
to protect against damage from sudden power loss, and to
maintain video surveillance in the event of a power outage.

POWERING ON and SHUTTING DOWN
POWERING ON
Once all necessary connections to your NVR are made, toggle the
power switch on the back of the NVR to the ON position.
If the NVR does not automatically start, press the button on the
front panel of the NVR.
The POWER indicator light will be displayed on the NVR’s front panel.
It is normal for the NVR to sound a beep during startup.
SHUTTING DOWN
In the event that the NVR needs to be powered down, perform one of
the following to ensure a safe shutdown:
1. Enter the MAIN MENU (see page 5), select SHUTDOWN in the
OPERATION section, then select SHUTDOWN from the popup
window.
2. Alternately, press and hold the button on the front panel
of the NVR. The screen will show a progress bar for
shutdown.
4
Continue holding the button until the progress bar fills and
the NVR shuts off.
NOTE: In rare cases it may be necessary to remove power to the NVR
by disconnecting the power supply. However, this should be avoided
if possible, as removing power without properly shutting down the
NVR may corrupt and/or damage the hard drive. Only remove power
from the NVR if it will not respond to a shutdown through the
methods described.
FIRST STARTUP
The first time that your NVR is powered on, it will perform necessary
functions, such as properly formatting an unformatted hard drive for
recording, and it will display the STARTUP WIZARD. It is recommended
that you follow the steps in the popup window to simplify the NVR’s
initial setup.
5
The STARTUP WIZARD will take you through:
General Settings (more on page 7)
Network Settings (more on page 21)
Remote Device (IPCAM) Settings (more on page 10)
Recording Schedule (more on page 12)
The STARTUP WIZARD will be displayed each time the NVR is started.
If you do not wish for the STARTUP WIZARD to be displayed, click to
uncheck the STARTUP option before proceeding. You can also find this
option in the GENERAL SETTINGS (see page 7).
