Before Getting Started
In what follows, “user” refers to those who can access the video recorder, and “administrator” refers to the
person who knows the root password that allows changes to the Video Recorder’s configuration, in addition to
providing general access. Administrators should read this part of the manual carefully, especially during
installation.
First-Time Installation and Configuration
Before installing the MxNVR-MO4, check to make sure that all the items on the package checklist are in the box.
In addition, you will need access to a notebook computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet port.
ATTENTION
The MxNVR-MO4 series are high-performance video recorders designed to perform without a cooling fan.
Therefore, it is recommended that each MxNVR-MO4 be installed with at least a 5 mm clearance on all surfaces
for effective heat-dissipation.
WARNING
This equipment is intended to be used in a Restricted Access Location, such as a cabinet or a dedicated
computer room. Access should only be allowed to SERVICE PERSONS or USERS who have been instructed
on proper handling of the device’s metal chassis, which becomes extremely hot. Further, access should be
restricted through the use of a key or secure identity system, to ensure only qualified personnel have access
to the restricted access location.
•
External metal parts are hot!! Before touching it, special attention or protection is necessary.
Step 1: Select the power source
The MxNVR-MO4 can be powered by a 12 to 32 VDC DC power input. One A-code 5-pin M12 connector power
input is provided. Users can check the LED status located in the front panel to see if the power input is
connected appropriately.
NOTE
The MxNVR-MO4 series supports power input specifications of 12-32 VDC for 12/24 VDC power input (note that
this is different from Moxa EDS switch’s 12-45 VDC power input).
Step 2: Connect the MxNVR-MO4 to a Network
The MxNVR-MO4 has one auto-sensing 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port in 4-pin M12 D-code connector. A 10/100
LED indicator located at the top indicates a 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet connection.
Step 3: Connect the MxNVR-MO4 to cameras and an audio source
The MxNVR-
MO4 has four VIDEO INPUT ports (V1, V2, V3, and V4). Use the BNC connector (1.0 Vpp, 75Ω) and
coaxial cable to connect video cameras to the VPort to input analog video signals.
The MxNVR-MO4 has 2 line-in or mic-in audio inputs, DB9 male connector. A microphone or amplifier can be
plugged directly into the AUDIO INPUT port.
NOTE
Four VIDEO LEDs (V1, V2, V3, V4) are located on the MxNVR-MO4’s front panel to indicate the video signal
transmission status for video inputs. Check the LED status to see if the video is working properly.
