VHDIPL-V3 User Manual - October 2017
3.1 Startup
Ensure the NVR is securely connected at the power source and the monitor is connected via the HDMI or VGA video output before starting NVR. In some cases, the
NVR will automatically power on when connected to a power supply.
CAUTION
Ensure the power supply meets local regulations as in some environments, if the power supply fl uctuates the NVR may not work properly or
could become permanently damaged
During the power up process, the power LED indicator on the front panel will be steady, and the NVR will self-check and display on-screen test and results. Please
pay attention to this. The startup process takes approximately 2 minutes; if a hardware abnormality is detected during the NVR self-check, will be present next to
the test. Select continue or shutdown in the bottom right corner of the screen, continue will redirect you to the NVR login screen.
NOTE
Hard disk detection is performed during start up. If the detection fails, possible causes include:
The hard disk is new and unformatted. In this case, format the hard disk based in “Quick Setup”.
The hard disk is formatted, but the fi le system is inconsistent with the one supported by the NVR.
The hard disk is damaged.

3.2
Adding IP Network Cameras
By PoE
After the PoE network interfaces are connected to IP cameras, the NVR will automatically add the IP cameras. Figure 3-3 shows the network topology of the NVR.
NOTE
The default user name is admin.
The default password is admin.
It is advised that you change the password when you log in the system
for fi rst time to ensure system security, the VHDIP-V3 Range of NVR’s
now support enhanced security passwords, allowing for the use of
complex passwords. For new users, this must be used.
Once the user name and password are entered the NVR UI will be
displayed.
Figure 3-2 Network topology of the POE NVR, applies to the
VHDIPL-4V3, VHDIPL-8V3, VHDIPL-16V3
By Network Search
Connecting IP cameras from the network is possible only when the NVR and cameras are within the same IP address range. This type of network confi guration
includes other types of network devices, in addition to the IP cameras and NVR. When the IP cameras and NVR are confi gured in a way that enables them to
communicate with ease over the network, there should be no issues. In this topology, the user must use the network search function from the Quick Setup page to
search and add IP cameras. The NVR will not automatically populate IP cameras from a network.
For details, see chapter 4.1 “Quick Setup”.
