Quick Start Guide

1.  Mount and install all necessary IP cameras and external devices. Refer to their individual 

manuals for additional information. 

2. Place the NVR in its final position. See safety tips for proper installation below. 
3. Connect all necessary cables and external devices to the NVR. Follow the back panel diagram 

below. 

4. Connect the NVR to an appropriate power supply. The NVR will boot up automatically. 

When the NVR boots up, it will be in protective mode 
and the password setup screen will appear. 

1.  You will be asked to setup a new password. The  

password must be a minimum of eight (8) 
characters with at least four (4) combinations of 
upper-case letters, lower-case letters, numbers, 

 

and special characters.

2.  When the NVR boots up for the first time, you will 

be guided through the startup wizard.

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 directly 

exposed to sunlight. Server room temperature is highly recommended to reduce the chance of 
overheating, which may cause the NVR to become unstable. 

3. During the boot-up process, the NVR should not be interrupted by pressing any buttons on 

the mouse. Do not unplug the power adapter or turn the NVR off during the boot-up process. 

4. A UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) is highly recommended to prevent damage to the NVR 

during a power outage.

STEP 1 – CONNECTING THE NVR

STEP 2 – POWERING UP THE NVR

SAFETY TIPS

NOTE:

 

1.  True HD monitor output and VGA output cannot be used at the same time for dual monitoring. 
2.  The audio input port at the NVR is disabled. For audio recording, use audio input supported ip camera.
3.  To connect additional IP cameras to the NVR, connect a PoE switch to the NVR’s network port. 

To prevent the NVR from overheating, do not operate it in an area that exceeds the maximum 

recommended ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C). To prevent airflow restriction, allow at least  

3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance around the ventilation openings.

letters, numbers, and special characters.
