TVN 21P Quick Start Guide 

1.  Connect all the devices required to the 

back panel of the NVR. See Figure 1 on 
page 1. 

Basic connections: 

Connect monitor A to the BNC, VGA or 
HDMI output. Connect the mouse to the 
USB port in the front panel. 

Optional connections: 

All the other connections shown are 
optional and depend upon installation 
requirements. 

2.  Connect the power cord to the unit and 

turn on the power. 

3.  Set up the unit with the required 

settings using the setup wizard. 

First-time use 

The NVR has an express installation wizard 
that lets you easily configure basic NVR 
settings when first used. It configures all 
cameras simultaneously. The configuration 
can then be customized as required. 
By default, the setup wizard will start once 
the NVR has loaded. The wizard walks you 
through some of the more important 
settings of your NVR. Select the preferred 
language for the system and then enter the 
administrator password. The default admin 
password is 1234. It is strongly 
recommended that this password is 
changed. 
The wizard will then guide you through the 
menus to set the time and date, network 
configuration, HDD management, and 
recording configuration. 
When all the required changes have been 
entered, click 

Finish

 to exit the wizard. The 

NVR is now ready to use. Recording starts 
automatically. 

Operating the TVN 21 

There are several ways to control the unit: 
• 

Front panel  

• 

IR remote control 

• Mouse 

 

• Web 

browser 

 

Front panel  

The buttons on the front panel control most 
functions. See Figure 2 on page 2 for the 
locations of the controls. Refer to the user 
manual for a detailed description of the 
button functions. 

IR remote control 

The IR remote control buttons are similar to 
those on the front panel. Place the two AAA 
batteries in the remote control. 
To connect the remote control to the NVR, 
press the Device button, enter the device 
address, and press Enter. 

To connect the remote control to the 
NVR: 

1. Press 

Menu

 on the front panel or right-

click the mouse and select 

Menu

. The 

main menu screen appears. 

2. Select 

Display Mode Settings

 > 

Monitor

3.  Check and remember NVR device 

address value. The default value is 255. 
The device address is valid for all IR 
controls. 

4.  On the remote control, press the 

Device

 button. 

5.  Enter the device address value. It must 

be the same as that on the TVN 21. 

6. Press 

ENTER

 on the remote or front 

panel. 

USB mouse 

The USB mouse provided with the TVN 21 
operates all the functions of the NVR, unlike 
the front panel, which has limited 
functionality. The mouse lets you navigate 
and make changes to settings in the user 
interface. 
Connect the mouse to the NVR by plugging 
the mouse USB connector into the USB 
port on the front panel. The mouse is 
immediately operational and the pointer 
should appear.
