3 -Initial Setup *PASSWORD- By default the password for the NVR is then simply CLICK OK. -Screen Resolution These NVR s are all set up with HDMI capabilities however, if you want to change the screen resolution, simply right click with your mouse, select main menu> system configuration>display tab at the top. That will pull up a screen that looks like this. Now select the resolution that best fits your monitor. If for whatever reason your screen is blank with no picture, your monitor probably does not support 1080 screen resolution so you can temporarily hook up the VGA video connection change the screen resolution to 1280*720/60HZ then hook it back up to HDMI. 3

4 -Adding an IP Camera ** If you are working with Hikvision cameras then adding an IP camera becomes very simple. Attach the network cable to the back of the NVR and the camera and your picture will pop up on the screen. (It can take up to 25 seconds for some cameras to boot up.) **** If you have a 3 rd Party Camera (Different Brand) the setup will be different in this example we will be using Eyesurv brand. *If you do not have your IP Cameras correctly setup for your network, this will not work. Please consult your cameras manual for IP Camera setup info. 4

5 (-Adding an IP Camera cont.) Assuming now that you have your cameras hooked up correctly and are on a separate switch. First, go into the main menu >camera setup> you should arrive at a screen like this. From here you will select Search and it will pull up all of the cameras that you have connected to the network. Once you have located your camera on the network you must manually add the IP address to one of the existing cameras. To do so click the edit button and it will pull up the edit screen. Once pulled up you need to change the Plug and Play option to Manual, change the camera IP to your cameras IP, the Protocol to Onvif and finally, the cameras password. See example below. 5

6 (-Adding an IP Camera cont.) *BE SURE YOU TYPE IN THE CAMERA PASSWORD. If you are using EYESURV ESIP series cameras, please use admin as both user name and password. Regardless if you changed it previously. After you have all of your settings applied correctly, click APPLY to save. When you close the edit screen, you will see the camera setup screen again and if you have all of your cameras settings entered correctly it will say Connected under status. From there you can view you camera from the live view. 6

7 -Installing a Hard Drive Side View ***** (Do not install hard drive while your NVR is on.) First you will want to take the top of the NVR off. To do so remove the 3 screws on both sides and 2 on the back of the NVR. (8 Total) Back View 7

8 (Installing a Hard Drive) cont. With the top off and the Hard Drive in the NVR, connect the Power and Sata (Red) Cables in the appropriate slot. (*See pg. 10) Once you have the Hard Drive connected correctly you need to line it up with the 4 holes on the bottom of the NVR and use the screws provided in the box to tighten the Hard Drive to the NVR. After you have the Hard Drive installed put the cover back on the NVR and screw it back together. With the Hard Drive installed you are ready to initialize (format) it. 8

9 Initializing the Hard Drive After you have installed the Hard Drive you need to format it. Go to Main Menu>System Configuration>HDD you should arrive at this screen. *** If you only have 1 HDD then you will only see 1 displayed. Select the HDD you wish to initialize by checking the box to the left of the HDD. From here click and another message will pop-up. Click OK You will notice the progression of the process as shown above. When initialization is complete the status of the HDD will say Normal. 9

First you need to get to the record menu and to do that right click for the main menu>record Configuration. Once set up correctly you will see an icon that looks like a reel of tape in the upper right hand corner. Now, to view the playback feature with the NVR again go to the main menu> Playback. You will see your playback screen that looks like this.. ***By default when a camera is connected to the NVR it will begin to record 24/7. Click to go into normal playback mode. 10

11 (-Using the Playback Feature cont.) From this screen you can mark clips and export them to a USB flash drive. To go into normal playback view click the icon in the upper right hand corner (**see bottom picture on page 12) As you can see you have the option to check certain days with the calender. Click on your day that is highlighted in blue, then click the magnifying glass to see the recordings for that day. 11

12 (-Using the Playback Feature cont.) Notice the editing buttons. (From left to right Audio, Video Clip, Save, Delete, Default Tag, Custumized Tag, Tag Management, Zoom In.)

On the far right side of your screen you will notice the camera options and also the calender options. You may select as many cameras as you would like to view at once by checking the box next to the corresponding camera. On the calender the days that are highlighted in blue are days that have recordings. Simply click on the day that you would like to view recordings of. *Time Frame options allow you to narrow down the time of playback by zooming in to time bar. (Bottom Right of the playback screen.) *Left button is zoom in to time bar. *Right button is zoom out. 12

Right click for the main menu > select configuration > select Network then you will see your Network Menu screen.

You will want to check the Enable DHCP box and hit Apply. This may take up to 30 seconds to complete. Now go back to the main menu and click on System Information> Network. There you will find the IP address the router has designated for your NVR. 15

16 (Networking the NVR cont.) Write down the IP address it shows on this screen and also write down the Default Gateway as you will need that later on. Once you have it written down navigate back to the System Configuration Network Settings and uncheck the Enable DHCP box and input the IP address you wrote down. And click **BE SURE TO UNCHECK THE DHCP BOX WHEN COMPLETE. 16

Once in the settings add the IP address and click close. (*You may have to restart IE for it to take effect.) 20

21 -Port Fowarding Now to forward your ports through your Router (*You will need to log in to your Router to forward ports. For questions about port forwarding please contact your Routers manufacture.) There are 3 ports to forward to your NVR s Local IP address. To get there go to Main Menu>System Configuration>Network> More Settings Tab(top of page), there you will find the Server Port, HTTP Port and RTSP Port. As shown above the Server Port, HTTP Port and RTSP Port are the 3 that need to be forwarded. (*Write these numbers down.) *These numbers are all set by default within the system. However, they can be changed if you desire. Once you have found all 3 ports you can now go to your routers settings through the Internet and forward all 3 ports individually. ****If you have AT&T or Verizon as your cell carrier, please change the RTSP port to
