4 Add IP Cameras
This chapter mainly introduces how to connect multiple IP cameras through NVR. Once you finish adding IP cameras, you can see
the live images through the monitor of the NVR.
The TBK-NVR5016P8 model supports up to 8 IP POE cameras connected directly to the switch POE included. You need to connect the
source of 48VDC included with the NVR.
TBK PLUS POE IP cameras connected to the NVR POE switch is automatically displayed without configuration (as they lead DHCP
enabled by default and user / password by default). The gateway IP and POE switch are independent of the local IP address of the NVR.
The IP address of the cameras connected to the POE switch ports must be in the same range of POE switch. POE switch default IP
010.151.151.001.
Once displayed on the monitor connected to the NVR we can see they are added from Menu → Camera IP as next screen. Column
indicate Connected state. (The picture below is a guide).
The remaining cameras can be added to the remaining channels of the NVR via LAN or WAN.
4.1 To add IP cameras via LAN:
① Please go to Main MenuIP Camera tab. Refer to Fig 4-2. Click “Search” button to search the devices in the same local
network. (The IPC which supports the Onvif protocol may be added manually.)
② Go to the search tab. Click “Refresh” to refresh the searched devices. If the IPC is not in the same local network, you can
select the device and click “Setup” to modify the IP address of the searched device. Refer to Fig 4-3.
Fig 4-2 Add Devices
Note: If the network of IP cameras and NVR are in LAN, their IP address must be in the same
network segment. For example: If the IP address of NVR is 192.168.013.016, the IP address of IP camera
must be 192.168.013. XXX.
Fig 4-3 Modify IP Address

③ Checkmark the searched devices and click “OK” button to return to the previous interface. Click “Apply” button and then the
added devices will be listed in the device management interface. “Connected” status means connecting the device
successfully and you will see the live image. You may select the added device and click “Setup” button to modify channel, IP
address of the device as shown in Fig 4-5.

① Go to the NVR’s Main MenuSetupNetwork tab to input IP address, Subnet Mask, etc. If using DHCP, please enable DHCP in both the
NVR and the router.
② Enter Record Setup to set network video parameters like resolution, frame rate etc.
③ Open IE on a computer on the same network. Input the IP address of the NVR in IE address bar and press enter.
④ IE will download ActiveX component automatically. Enter the username and password in the subsequent window.
Notice: If HTTP port is not 80, add the port number after IP address. For example, set HTTP port as 82, input IP
address like 192.168.0.25:82. User name and password here are the same with that used on the NVR. The default is admin and
123456.
9.2.2 Via WAN
There are two ways for the NVR to connect to internet.
1. Connect the NVR to internet through router or virtual server
① Go to the NVR’s Main MenuSetupNetwork interface to input IP address, Subnet Mask, etc. If using DHCP, please enable DHCP in
both the NVR and router.
② Forward IP address and port number in Virtual Server setup of the router or virtual server. Configure the firewall to allow accessing the
NVR.
Note: Port forwarding settings may be different in different routers and server. Please refer to the router’s manual for details.

③ Open IE browser, input IP address, or dynamic domain name and enter. If HTTP port is not 80, add the port number after IP address or
domain name.
④ IE will download ActiveX control automatically. Then a window pops up and asks for user name and password. Input name and password
correctly, and enter to view.
Note: If you cannot download and install ActiveX, please refer to FAQ Q8.
2. Connect the NVR to internet through PPPoE directly.
① Go to the NVR’s Main MenuSetupNetwork interface to enable PPPoE and then input user name and password received from your ISP.
Next, click “Apply”. The NVR will connect to the server and would give a confirmation message.
② When accessing the remote interface of NVR, user can input WAN IP to access directly (user can go to Main
MenuInformationNetwork interface to check IP address).
③ If users want to utilize dynamic domain name, please apply for a domain name in a DNS server supported by the NVR or router. Then add
to the NVR.
④ Open IE browser to input WAN IP address or domain name and then enter. If HTTP port is not 80, add the port number after IP address or
domain name.

Appendix A FAQ
Q1. Why can’t the NVR turn on even after connecting to the power?
a. The power adapter could have gone bad. Please change a new power adapter.
b. The power from the adapter may be not enough for operating the NVR. Please use the power adaptor supplied along with the NVR.
c. It could be a hardware problem.
Q2. There is no menu displayed and only has live image display, why?
a. Check whether the monitor is connected to the main monitor. The monitor might be connected to VGA /HDMI port whereas the NVR

Q9: NVR displays “please wait…”all the time. Why and how can I do?
a.HDD power cable and data cable may not be well connected. Please check the connections for HDD.
b. It is also possible that the NVR was forced to stop because HDD has a bad sector and it may have caused the system to halt. Check
with a good known HDD or try formatting the existing HDD.
Q10: How to input password and numbers in the interface?
Click the password or the input box to pop up a small keyboard. Please select characters to be input (the initial password is 123456), or
you can use the digital keys on the front panel, or the digital keys on the remote controller.
Q11: A hard disk is being identified as a new device however it was being used with another NVR of same model. Should it be
formatted prior to use?
It is possible to migrate an HDD from one NVR to another provided that the NVRs are of the same model and that the HDD being
migrated would be used as the sole disk in the new NVR. However in cases where the new NVR already contains a HDD, the migrated disk
being installed would have to be formatted. In general migrating disks from one NVR to another is not recommended.

Appendix B Calculate Recording Capacity
You can calculate the size of hard disk according to the storage time and NVR recording settings. The formula is as follows in full frame
rate condition. Used space per hour (MB/h) = Bitrate (kbps) ÷ 8 × 3600 ÷ 1024. The below are the details at different settings.
Resolution
Frame Rate
Image
Bit Rate
(kbps)
Used
Space(MB/h)
1080P
30fps
(NTSC)
Highest
12M
5400
higher
9M
4050
Medium
7M
3150
Low
6M
2700
Lower
4M
1800
Lowest
1.5M
675
The calculation format is: Total Recording capacity = Used space per hour (MB/h) (coverage rate of hard disk) × recording time
(hour) × channel numbers
For instance, one customer sets resolution to1080P, frame rate to 30fps, bitrate to 1.5M and enables total 4 channels. He wants the unit
to record continuously in a month. Below is the calculation:
Total Recoding capacity = 675 (mb/h) × 24(hours/day) × 30(days) × 4 (channels) = 1944000 (MB) ≈ 1898(GB)
Therefore, customers just install two SATA HDDs with 1000GB to record for one month .
