1. Connect the network camera to the NVR, using a hub, a router or switch.

2. If the camera is connected to the NVR through the hub, router or switch, 

    each camera adapter is required additionally to get the power.

1. Connect the network camera directly to the PoE port of the NVR.

2. In this case, the PoE adapter should be plugged-in to the NVR in order to get the power.

There are two ways to connect the cameras to the NVR, using a router or hub switch, 

or connecting the cameras directly to the NVR. 

To adjust an axis of the camera head, please loosen a cross head screw.

The VMAXIP includes 4, 2.1MP Bullet cameras, especially engineered to work with the 

NVR. The cameras can be powered directly from the NVR. 

To mount the camera: 

1. Use the camera’s mounting template or the camera’s housing to mark the drilling 

    holes in the mounting surface.

2. Drill holes into the drywall using the included dry wall anchors.

3. Pull wires through and make connections, then mount the camera to the wall or ceiling 

    using the screws provided with the camera.

4. To adjust the camera’s bracket, loosen the screw on the side of the camera's bracket 

     before mounting the camera.

5. Once the camera’s bracket angle has been adjusted, tighten the stopper screw back to 

     secure the camera in its position.

Step 1: Network Configuration

The Quick Startup Wizard is designed to make the installation process of your NVR as 

quick and easy as possible. This startup wizard will automatically appear when you 

first boot up your NVR. It will guide you through setting up

the NVR's Network Settings and finding and registering your cameras. 

If you do not want to follow the Startup Wizard you can disable it by clicking the 

[CANCEL] button and adjusting your settings manually via the NVR's main menu.

1. Make sure the cameras and the monitors are properly connected to the NVR.

2. The NVR should be placed in a dust and moisture free environment.

     It must never be exposed to direct sunlight. Server room temperature is highly

     recommended to reduce the chance of overheating. Overheating may cause

     the NVR to become unstable.

3. During the boot process, the NVR should not be interrupted by pressing any

     buttons on the mouse, or remote controller. Do not unplug the

     power adapter or turn the NVR off during the boot process.

4. A UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) is highly recommended to prevent

     of the NVR during a power outage.

The Network Setup menu allows you to configure the NVR's network settings 

for remote connection. You can access this setup menu anytime by right-clicking 

anywhere on the screen and selecting: Setup Menu > Network > Network. 

To setup the NVR's network settings: 

1. Set “Network Type” to [Dynamic IP] and click [IP DETECT]. The NVR will automatically 

    configure its settings to match your network's requirement. when all information is 

    detected, you can change the Network Type to Static. This will save all the correct 

    network settings and the IP address will not be changed by the network 

   (on DHCP networks).

2. You can also set the Network Type to Static and manually enter the NVR's information. 

     a. IP Address: the NVR's address in the local network. 

     b. Subnet Mask: usually 255.255.255.xxx

     c. Gateway: your router's external IP address.

     d. DNS Server 1 and 2: quired if connecting to the DVR over the Internet. 

     e. Switch Setting: if the camera's are connected directly to the NVR, this is the internal 

         IP address settings for those cameras. 

     f. TCP/IP and Web Port: default values are 9010 and 80, respectively. These ports need 

         to be opened in your router to connect to your NVR over the Internet. See your 

         Network Administrator for more information. 

3. Enable UPnP and Auto Private IP Setup if these features are supported by your network. 

4. To connect to the NVR remotely, open an Internet explorer page and enter your 

     router's external IP address:DVR's port number (Example: 72.243.193.215:81). If you 

    are accessing the NVR over the Internet, make sure the ports are properly setup in your 

    router. See your Network Administrator for more information.
