ClearView Network Video Recorder, Quick Start Manual

Page: 315 / 317

Determine which camera you want on Channel 1, and plug that camera’s CAT-5 cable into Channel 1 on the
NVR. Your NVR will detect the camera and – in a few seconds – your first camera’s images will appear on your
monitor screen. Repeat this process with each channel’s camera, plugging in each cannel’s CAT 5 cables
one
at a time and waiting about 30 seconds in between connections.
To make sure your cameras are assigned correctly, wait for each camera’s image to appear before moving on
to the next camera. Once you are done plugging in the camera cables, you should be seeing video on the
monitor for each camera attached to the NVR. The IP addresses of the POE ports are 10.1.1.65 through
10.1.1.68 on the NVR. You can check each camera’s address, once you are signed in and after you finish NVR
Set Up (below), by selecting
Remote Device to confirm camera connections.
On the NVR, use the mouse to
right-click on the screen to bring
up the Log-In pop-up on-screen panel, and enter the Login and
Password (both are “admin” as the factory default.) For your
security, you should change the default log-in and password to
your own at this time.
Make sure to write down this information in
a secure, hidden place somewhere in case you forget it.
Note: For security reasons, entering the wrong log-in and/or
password 3 times will result in system alarm and 6 login
failures will result in account lock. If you are locked out,
please call tech support.
Once you log in, the system will begin the Startup Wizard , and guide
you through the unit’s initial set up. During camera setup, the NVR
assigned each camera to the correct channel as you plugged them in.
Once finished you will see your cameras in live view on screen
automatically, your video will be automatically be recorded to the hard
drive, and all video channels will be ready to review from this screen.
To review recorded video
, use the mouse to move your cursor over
any live camera video, and the menu below will appear over the
selected channel’s video screen:
Playback Zoom Record to USB
Playback allows you to replay the last 5-60 minutes of video from that
channel. Zoom allows an electronic zoom on the channel’s video, by
dragging the cursor to select the area to be enlarged. Record to USB
allows up to 60 minutes of the selected channel’s recorded video to be copied to a USB device (thumb drive,
etc.) The “
X ” at the left end of the bar closes this menu bar.
