2. System Setup
The notices and the introduction on system installation will be described
particularly in this chapter. Please follow the description to operate the unit.
In order to prevent the unit from data loss and system damage caused by a
sudden power fluctuation, use of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is
highly recommended.
2.1 Position the Unit
Firstly, note to position/mount the NVR in a proper place and be sure to
power off the unit before making any connections. The placed location should
avoid hindering or blocking the unit from airflow. Sufficient airflow is needed
to protect the unit from overheating. The maximum allowable temperature of
operating environment is 40°C.
The unit utilizes heat-conducting techniques to transfer internal heat to the
case, especially to the bottom side of the unit.
NOTE: Be sure the rubber feet are not removed, and always leave a
space for air ventilation on the unit’s bottom side.
2.2 Connect Devices to the Unit
This section lists some notices that should be given before making any
connections to the NVR.
Connecting Required Devices
Before powering on the unit, a USB mouse, a USB keyboard, network
connection, and a main monitor must be connected to the unit for basic
operation.
Connecting Short-term Device
If any short-term devices shall be installed to the NVR as a part of the unit
system, such as USB ThumbDrive® or any USB devices, etc., make sure
those devices are connected only after the unit is powered on. The reason is
that the NVR can recognize the external devices only after the power-on
process is done completely.

administrator and/or network service provider for more specific information.
4.3.1 Ethernet Setup
Under this setup menu, users can select the network service type, including
<PPPoE> and <LAN>. If users are using a broadband medium, such as DSL
Line or cable modem, please complete the PPPoE setting. If users are to use
a wired local area network communication, please complete the LAN setting
(IPv4).
Interface
Select <WAN( eth0)> to enter WAN configuration menu. Select <PoE( eth1)>
to enter PoE menu. Select <LAN (eth2)> to enter LAN configuration menu.
MAC Address
This item shows the MAC address of the selected interface.

NOTE: <PPPoE Setup> is only available under <WAN (eth0)>
configuration menu.
DHCP Setup
With DHCP function, users are able to obtain a dynamic IP address from
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server when the NVR boots up.
When using DHCP, the settings are dynamic and will change every time the
NVR powers on or off, depending on the network setup.
Check the “Enable DHCP” box and click on <Restart>, a dynamic IP address
will be assigned to the NVR. In this case, users do not need to set the
Ethernet settings in IPv4 section, including IP address, Subnet Mask, Defa
ult
Gateway, and DNS settings. These settings will be read-only.
If the NVR is using a fixed address, un-check the “Enable DHCP” box to
manually set IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS. See the
network system administrators or IT personnel for appropriate values.
IPv4
If users decide to set a fixed IP address for the NVR, users have to manually
set the Ethernet settings of the NVR in this section.

- Subnet Mask
A netmask, a 32-bit mask, is used to divide an IP address into
subnets
and specify the networks available hosts. Its value is defined by the
network administrator. It takes the form as ***.***.***.***, for example,
255.255.255.255. Double click on the entry field and a virtual numeric
keypad will pop up. Enter the value of the subnet mask for the NVR using
the virtual keypad.

with the NVR. If the server is unavailable when using DHCP, the NVR will
search for the network server and boot up more slowly. This network
search continues until it times out.
- Http Port
To avoid the de
fault service port (port 80) being jammed, this item enables
users to change port 80 to another port. To change the web port, double
click on the entry field and enter a value using the pop-up virtual numeric
keypad.

5.2 IP Camera Connection
Users are able to connect an IP camera either through network connection or
via PnP function. Note that PnP function is only for models with PoE ports.
The following describes how to connect an IP camera via network connection
or via PnP function
Add IP Cameras via PnP Function (Models with PoE Ports Only)
When users connect the IP cameras to the PoE ports on the NVR’s rear
panel, the IP camera will automatically be powered up and connected to the
network. The NVR will automatically assign an IP address for the IP camera.
The following describes the rules of the IP address of the IP camera.
192.168.(50+Port Number).(25~99)
For instance, the IP address of PoE port 8 would be like “192.168.58.33”.
The fourth set of the IP address is limited within a specified range, from 25 to
99. When an IP camera is connected to the PoE port, the NVR will
automatically assign the fourth set a random number within the limited range.
If users wish to access the IP camera connected to the PoE port via a web
browser, just enter the IP address of the NVR plus a colon and a number
(8000 + port number of the desir
ed IP camera). Take CH4 for example, if the
IP address of the NVR is 192.168.0.50, the IP address of CH4 will be
192.168.0.50:8004.
NOTE: Users MUST make sure that DHCP function of the IP cameras
to be connected to the PoE port is disabled; otherwise, the IP camera
connection will be failed.
Add IP Cameras via Network Connection
Follow the steps below to search and add IP cameras to the NVR via
network.
Select the type of IP camera models next to <Device Filter>.
Click on the Search icon. The NVR will start to look for the supported IP
cameras installed in the same LAN and list them in the Device List.
Find a target IP camera from the Device List and check the “Device add to
view” box to add the IP camera to the NVR. The NVR will automatically
connect and retrieve the information of the IP camera.

6.2 Record Setup
In Record Setup menu, users can setup whether to enable the circular
recording of the NVR and whether to record the pre-alarm / post-alarm video
as a part of event videos when an alarm or event occurs.
Circular Recording
The Circular Recording function is to adjust the HDD space usage of the NVR
and to store new video data while overwriting the oldest recorded video.
Follow the instruction below for circular recording setup.
Check the box to enable circular recording and select <Size> or
<Percentage> to set as the unit of the reserved HDD partition.
Then, set a threshold value (5% or 5120MB) in the entry field. The NVR
will reserve the certain partition of the HDD, and when the used space of
the HDD
reaches the threshold, the NVR will start overwriting the oldest
recorded data.
Page 46
NVR User’s Manual
45
For instance, when the threshold is set to 5GB (5120MB), and there are
20GB free disk space remaining in the HDD, the NVR can only access the
HDD no more than 15GB.
Un-check the “Circular Recording” box, and the NVR will stop recording when
HDD is full.
