Configuring the NVR

BASIC OPERATION

You may run the wizard to configure the setup for your NVR. There are basic and advanced operations. You must first

configure the basic operations in order to activate and utilize the features of our NVR.

Step 1:

Camera Search

- Search for a network camera using UPnP and add it to the NVR camera list.

Step 2:

Recording Schedule

- Configure a camera for recording and create a detailed schedule. Users can also simply

choose

Always Record

and select connected cameras.

After completing the above settings, the NVR will be fully functional.

ADVANCED OPERATION

Step 1:

E-mail Setup

- Configure the E-mail address

and messages for event notification.

Step 2:

Event Setup

- Configure event options with

various combinations. Events can be triggered in the

event of camera motion detection, digital input, or full

hard disk warning. An event action can be configured

to send E-mail or trigger camera digital output.

Step 3:

Dynamic DNS

- Configure DDNS to access

your NVR using a domain name without the need to

track the IP address of your NVR.

PPPoE

Settings:

DHCP server:

Select this connection if you have a DHCP

server running on your network and would

like a dynamic IP address to be automatically

updated to your NVR.

You may obtain a static or fixed IP address

and other network information from your

network administrator for your NVR. A static

IP address will simplify access to your NVR

in the future.

The fixed IP address.

The default value “255.255.255.0” is used

to determine if the destination is in the same

subnet.

The gateway forwards frames to destinations

in a different subnet. Invalid gateway settings

may cause the failure of transmissions to a

different subnet.

Primary domain name server that translates

names to IP addresses.

Secondary domain name server to backup

the primary one.

Enable this setting if your ISP (DSL service) is using PPPoE. You may already have a Username and Password provided

by your ISP, or you may need to contact your ISP. The connection status will be determined automatically by the system.

Enable or disable the DHCP server. If your network doesn’t have DHCP server, enable NVR DHCP server for easier

local network setup.
