The following IP Camera settings are recommended for optimal connection with the NSL Series

Setup Items

Default

Description

Network Type

DHCP

The IP Camera must act as a DHCP client for the “Plug and Play”.

Encoding Type

CBR

The “CBR” is recommended because of the internal buffer design of the NSL Series

Resolution

1280x720

The maximum performance of the N8NSL is 1080p@240fps or 720p@240fps. To get higher frame rates per channel, 1280x720 is the recommended resolution.

Frame Rate

25fps

The maximum performance of the N8NSL is 720p@240fps. Therefore 30fps per channel is recommended. (30fps x 8 = 240fps)

Bit Rate

2Mbps

The maximum throughput of the N8NSL is 40Mbps. Therefore 2Mbps per channel is recommended. (4Mbps x 8 = 32Mbps)

Sub Stream

CIF 512Kbps

For “Dual Streaming”, the sub stream should be turned on. And for the proper streaming through the WAN connection, CIF@512Kbps or lower bitrates per channel is recommended.

 The NSL Series features a "Plug and Play" function with a PoE Switch.  The “Plug and Play” functionality requires the IP Camera to be in DHCP mode.  The NSL automatically assigns an IP Address to the IP Camera. (10.20.30.11 ~ 10.20.30.254)  The NSL models will automatically map the camera on the PoE Port to the corresponding NVR

channel number.

 The NSL PoE Port maximum power consumption

- [N4NSL – 57.6Watt, N8NSL-96Watt]

Figure 2.5.1.2. Incorrect connection with the PoE Ports

With the NSL Models, it is prohibited to connect a router to the POE Ports to connect the IP

Camera, the NSL will not be able to find and connect to the camera. The LAN Port can be connected to a router, but not the PoE Ports.

2-6 . IP Camera SETUP (through Web Viewer page)

NSL Series allow remote access to the IP Cameras through an "IP Camera Setup" menu. The PC Web Client features the "IP Camera Setup" menu that can be accessed remotely.

① Click the mouse right button ② Select “IP Camera Setup”. ③ Select Channel Number. ④ It launches the camera’s web setup page.

In order for the web pages to launch from the “IP Camera Setup” menu when accessed from the WAN, Ports 59011 to

59254 on the router must be port forwarded to the NVR. The local address of the NVR can be found in the system information

2-7 . Dual Streaming

 High Quality (Main Profile) Video Stream is used for both Recording and Live Display.  High Quality (Main Profile) Video Stream can be viewed through the network, when selected.  Normal (Secondary) Quality Video Stream is used by default when viewing through the network.
