Introduction
Welcome to your new Honeywell MAXPRO
®
NVR PE.
This guide helps you set up the NVR right out of the box. Before
installing your NVR, please read this guide carefully.
Unpack
Check that the items received match those listed on the order form and packing slip. The packing box should include, in
addition to your NVR unit and this guide:
Note
Other peripheral hardware (owner supplied) will also be needed for your installation, such as cameras, network PoE
switch for the camera network, network switch for a client workstation network, a monitor, and an optional keyboard
controller.
Install the Hardware
Mount the MAXPRO NVR Unit in a Rack
1.
Remove the bezel (if you ordered this option and it is installed) from the front of the unit by turning the bezel key lock
clockwise, and then pulling it away from the unit.
2.
Mount the NVR with the supplied rail hardware kit. The kit allows the MAXPRO NVR PE unit to slide in and out of the
rack it is mounted in and provides rear support for the chassis. Refer to the installation instructions included with the
rail hardware kit.
3.
Replace the bezel (if supplied) on the front of the unit. Insert the right side of the bezel into the tabs on the right handle
on the front plate of the unit and then align the bezel key lock with the left handle. Slide the left side of the bezel into
place. Turn the bezel key lock counterclockwise to secure the bezel.
Connect the Hardware

Connect up to 32 IP cameras to a camera
network PoE switch and the switch to the
LAN1 camera network port.
Connect a local monitor
to one of the monitor
outputs.
Connect supplied keyboard
and mouse before powering
up the NVR.
Network Connections
Connect a network PoE switch to the camera network port at the rear of the NVR. Connect your
cameras to the network PoE switch with CAT5 Ethernet cables. Optionally, connect the client workstation network port to
your client workstation network via a network switch. This allows remote access to your NVR. The default client workstation
network IP address must be changed to an available static IP address on your client workstation network.
Monitor(s)
The MAXPRO NVR PE comes with built-in graphics and four types of monitor outputs. The unit supports
connection of a single monitor using one of the outputs. The local monitor can be used to configure the NVR, however
continuous local video monitoring is not recommended.
The recommended resolution for your monitor is 1280 × 1024 pixels (minimum 1024 x 768) and display of at least 32 bit.
Dual Network Configuration
Power Up the Unit
Note
Honeywell recommends using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for the MAXPRO NVR PE unit, the camera
network switch, and the cameras to ensure that the NVR can continue to record video during a power outage. If you
need to monitor video during a power outage, consider a UPS for the monitor as well.
1.
Before powering up the NVR, turn on camera(s) and other devices connected to the NVR.
2.
Press the power button on the front of the NVR.
