This device is used to ensure system stability during voltage surges, sags, and outages. If a UPS is not available, a power strip with strong surge protection is highly recommended. Step 2. NVR installation general guidelines Installing an HDD in the NVR If you purchased your NVR without an internal HDD, you must install one for the NVR to function properly. Follow the procedure in HDD Installation - ALI-NVR3104P on page 7 or HDD Installation - ALI-NVR3108P - HDD 1 on page 9. If you want to install a second HDD in an ALI-NVR3108P, refer to HDD installation - ALI-NVR3108P - HDD 2 on page 11. PART 3. Switch to alphanumeric Switch to numeric Installing the system Soft keyboard - symbols Step 1. Getting Started: Unpacking the Equipment What s in the box Your system includes: NVR 6 foot Ethernet cable 6 foot HDMI cable Power cable for NVR (ALI-NVR3108P), power adapter and cable (ALI-NVR3104P) HDD SATA and power interface cables for internal hard disk drive(s) Backspace Remove the equipment from its packaging and place it on a flat, clean surface. Inspect each item. If any visible damage is present, contact your supplier for a replacement. Verify that your order is complete. Enter NVR Placement Your monitoring and recording equipment is the core device for constant surveillance and the reliable capture of video evidence. Observint Technologies strongly suggest that it be installed in a secure location with access limited to authorized personnel. NVRs and monitors generate heat and should be placed in a clean and well ventilated area. A high temperature environment will reduce the life span and reliability of the equipment. Additionally, the NVR is not weatherproof, so avoid exposure to liquids and excessive dust. Do not place objects along the sides or behind the NVR that will block airflow through the unit. Uninterruptible power supplies It is strongly suggested that power to the system be routed through an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). These devices will keep your security system running through most power outages, in addition to providing excellent surge and sag protection. The UPS should support the NVR and all cameras to ensure normal operation during abnormal power conditions. Proximity to other cameras and the local LAN Your NVR connect to other devices through Ethernet networks. The NVR contains two network interfaces: one to a local area network (LAN) through the LAN on the back panel, and the other directly to IP cameras plugged into the integrated Ethernet switch PoE ports. USB Audio IN/OUT Power switch What you need Although each security system installation is different, most require the following items not included with your system components: VGA or HDMI compatible computer monitor IP cameras and cables compatible with the NVR Tools to install the cameras and route power and Ethernet cables Internal Ethernet switch ports with PoE (8) Video Out (HDMI, VGA) LAN Ground terminal Power cord Fan outlet The IP cameras you monitor with your NVR can be connected to either the Ethernet s on the back panel or the local LAN. However, the number of cameras the NVR monitors on the LAN plus the number of those it monitors through the camera channel s on the back panel cannot exceed the channel capacity of your NVR Observint Technologies, Inc.

3 If you are using Cat 5e or Cat 6 copper (Ethernet) cable to connect your cameras to the NVR, or other cameras to the LAN, the cable distance from the NVR (or switch on the LAN) should not exceed 330 feet (100 meters). If a longer cable run is required, the use of an active hardware device such as a repeater or switch is necessary. Place the NVR in a location that is secure, well ventilated and clean. The NVR should be positioned such that the back panel s are accessible and the ventilation holes on the sides and top and the fan outlet on the back are not blocked. Step 3. Install a monitor, mouse, power For the following steps, refer to the back panel photo above for the location of s. 1. Install and setup your monitor in accordance with the instructions provided with the monitor. Do not power it on at this time. 2. Cable the HDMI or VGA to your monitor s VGA or HDMI input. The HDMI interface provides the best performance. 3. Plug the mouse into the USB on the front or back of the NVR. 4. If you plan to access your NVR remotely, or configure your NVR to transmit alerts, , etc. to external servers, plug a drop cable from your local area network (LAN) into the RJ45 LAN on the back of the NVR. 5. Connect the power cord to the power on the back panel of the NVR, and then into a UPS (preferred) or surge protector. NOTE Do not power on the NVR at this time. Step 4. Connecting it together initial system setup 1. Plug the LAN cables from the cameras into the POE RJ45 s on the back of the NVR. If other cameras to be monitored by the NVR will network to it through the LAN, plug their Ethernet cables into a switch (router) on the LAN and power on those cameras. (Power to other cameras on the LAN may be provided through a PoE switch if the camera is PoE capable, or through a separate cable and power adapter). After the Alibi splash screen appears (see above), the NVR will check the status of HDDs installed within the chassis, and show the show icons on the screen indicating their status. A green check mark on the icon indicates that the associated HDD is operating normally. If you installed new (or uninitialized) HDDs in the chassis before running the Wizard, those HDDs must be initialized before use. HDD initialization can be performed within the wizard and within the firmware menu system. Following the splash screen, a monitor resolution screen may appear. Open the drop down list and select the monitor resolution you prefer, then click OK. 2. The Setup Wizard can assist you in making important configuration settings in NVR. Click Next button on the Wizard window to open the Login window. NOTE The configuration settings presented in the setup Wizard can also be made and changed using the Menu system.
