Please connect at a minimum the following devices to the sentryEdge™ NVR. Please note
that an active DHCP enabled internet connection is required for initial setup.
USB Mouse and Keyboard
Display Monitor (VGA or HDMI)
Active Internet (DHCP enabled connection to the LAN Uplink port)
Connect the power cord to the NVR and the device will automatically boot. When presented
with the Windows Login Screen please enter the following default credentials:
User Name
Password
admin
admin
7.1 First Boot and Initial Setup
This first time the sentryEdge™ NVR boots, the sentryEdge™ Installation Wizard will
automatically start.
27
The installation wizard will guide the user through registering the device, choosing a VMS
platform, and downloading additional support files. Please see the sentryEdge™
Installation Wizard Guide, included separately in this packaging, for a step by step
walkthrough of the application.
Once the installation wizard is completed, the user may continue to configure the network
with more advanced options in the next section, such as configuring a static IP address.
8. Advanced Network Configuration
The sentryEdge™ NVR can be configured on a single network interface, or dual interfaces.
8.1 Configure IP Address
To configure the IP address settings for a network adapter, follow the steps below.
1. Right-click on the desired adapter and select Properties.
28
2. Highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click the Properties button.
3. Enter the appropriate IP address, Subnet mask, Default gateway, and DNS server
information for the network. If this information is not known, contact the network
administrator. Click OK.
29
8.2 Single Interface
Use the single interface configuration if the sentryEdge™ NVR is connected to only one
network, and it is the same network to which the IP cameras are connected.
1. Connect the active LAN network to the LAN Uplink port (see the Rear Panel diagram
above for the specific model).
2. If the LAN has a DHCP server the user can choose to leave the adapter to configure itself
automatically (this may require a system reboot with the cable connected). If not, or if a
static IP address is preferred, configure the LAN Uplink adapter with the appropriate static
IP address information. The LAN adapter is the Intel® 82579LM Gigabit adapter under
the Windows Network Connections settings. If the user is unsure which configuration to
use, please contact the network administrator.
NOTE: The LAN Uplink adapter MUST be assigned a static IP address (see section 4.1
above) in the same range as the IP cameras under any of the following circumstances:
The LAN Uplink port is not used, for example if the NVR is standalone and not
connected to another network.
The LAN to which the Uplink port is connected does not have a DHCP server.
A static IP address is desired for the NVR on the connected network.
8.3 Dual Interfaces
Use the dual interface configuration if the sentryEdge™ NVR is connected to two networks on
different subnets: one private network for the cameras (LAN Uplink), and one public network
for other network resources or internet connectivity (WAN Uplink).
1. Follow the instructions above for the Single Interface to connect and configure the LAN
Uplink.
2. Connect the active WAN network to the WAN Uplink port (see the Rear Panel diagram
above for the specific model).
3. If the WAN has a DHCP server the user can choose to leave the adapter to configure
itself automatically. If not, or if a static IP address is preferred, configure the WAN Uplink
adapter with the appropriate static IP address information. The WAN adapter is the
Realtek PCIe GBE adapter under the Windows Network Connections settings. If the user
is unsure which configuration to use, please contact the network administrator.
30
9. System Recovery
If the user wishes to restore the sentryEdge™ NVR to a factory default state, please use the
following procedure. In the event there is a hardware failure and the internal hard drive is
unusable, please contact Sentry360 support.

11. sentryView™ User Manual
What is sentryView™?
SentryView™ is the industry’s first plug-and-play tool for IP video. You can configure up to
250 cameras at a time. Advanced feature sets include exporting straight to VMS, batch
firmware, batch hardware, batch video settings, batch motion detection setup, and more. With
this tool you can fully configure a 250 camera deployment in less than 5 minutes. This search
software tool will increase productivity in the field, making its use a necessity for anyone
installing Sentry360 cameras.
12. System Specifications
Current Version: 3.2.3.5
Supported Operating Systems: Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008,
Windows 8.
Our software can run natively on both x86 and x64 systems. There are currently no Mac OS
X or Linux versions available.
35
13. Basic Setup
13.1 Scanning the network for cameras
Make sure all Sentry360 cameras are connected correctly to your network. Click Scan at the
top left of the program (Alternatively, click on Tools > Scan). This will search your network for
all connected devices. Once the scan is complete, sentryView™ will list the camera’s Model,
MAC Address, IP Address, and other network information in the main window.
13.2 Upgrade a Camera’s Firmware
Right click on the camera that you would like to upgrade the firmware of and select Upgrade
Firmware from the list (Alternatively you can select the camera from the list and click on
Tools > Upgrade Firmware).
36
The Firmware Upgrade window will open up. Click Browse to choose a firmware file already
downloaded on your computer.
Navigate to the location where the firmware file is saved on your computer and click Open.
(Note: you can find download links to our firmware by visiting our Partner Portal at
http://sentry360.com/Partner/firmware.php )
37
(Note: For Mini Series cameras you want to select the “uImage_userland” file in the firmware
folder.)
SentryView™ will ask you to confirm that you want to upload the new firmware. Click Upload.
The firmware will then be uploaded to the camera and the camera will reboot.
To confirm the firmware has been upgraded, check the number under the Firmware column
for the camera. (Note: If the camera still shows the same firmware version after scanning, it
may require a power cycle. Unplug the camera for 30 seconds, and then reconnect it.)
38
13.3 Automatically configuring the camera’s IP
address
Select the camera you would like to configure. Click the Auto Configure button at the top
(Alternatively right click the camera on the list and choose Auto Configure Camera).
If there are multiple network cards installed, choose the correct adapter that you want your
camera to be configured for. Confirm that these network settings are correct. If you need to
manually specify any settings, choose the Custom option for IP Scheme, Subnet, or
Gateway, and enter the information, then click Configure.
Unless specified otherwise, sentryView™ will automatically assign the camera the next
available IP address on that scheme. When complete, a dialog box will confirm your camera’s
new settings. SentryView™ will then rescan the network.
39
13.4 Manually configuring a camera’s IP address
Select the camera you would like to configure. In the Network tab at the bottom, enter the
new IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. If using a DHCP server, check the DHCP box.

settings and rescan the network.
13.5 Batch configuring multiple cameras
To automatically configure multiple cameras, select each camera you want to configure by
selecting each with a check mark in the left column. When all cameras are selected, you can
configure all of them by following Step C (Automatically configuring the camera’s IP
address) as listed above.
40
13.6 View a camera’s video through the web
browser
Right click on a camera and choose Browse (Alternatively select a camera and click on
Tools > Browse). This will open the camera in Internet Explorer. (Note: If opening a Mini
Series camera, you will be prompted for a username and password. Unless configured
otherwise, the default name will be “Admin” and the password “1234”) Consult your camera’s
manual for further information on using the web interface.
