Put the cover back in place and tighten the screws.

(Optional) Install SD Card

Insert a SD card into the slot to use the local storage function. For detailed specifications of recommended SD cards, contact your dealer or technical support. Hot plugging is not recommended.

Install the Camera

You can adopt ceiling mount or wall mount and purchase hardware accessories by yourself. The following part takes ceiling mount as an example. Wall mount is similar to ceiling mount and therefore is omitted here.
The following takes the infrared camera as an example. For the actual appearance, see the product.

Locate the positions of the holes. Paste installation positioning stickers on the ceiling and lead the cables through the hole on the wall.
Drill holes on the wall. Use a Ø6-6.5mm drill bit to drill 30 mm-depth guide holes according to the positions marked by stickers
Mount the plastic rivets of self- tapping screws. Knock the plastic rivets into the guide holes and ensure that they are tightened up.
Mount the camera. Connect all cables of the ceiling and the camera, lead self-tapping screws through the guide holes in the camera base, and fix the camera on the ceiling by using a screwdriver.
Adjust the monitoring direction of the lens (tighten screws after vertically adjusting the lens). The lens can horizontally turn by rotating the lens base, as shown by in the following figure. After loosening the fastening screws, you can vertically turn the lens, as shown by in the following figure.
After adjusting the lens horizontally and vertically, you can also rotate the lens clockwise or counterclockwise to get the desired monitoring direction. Please stop rotating the camera when the lens is blocked, otherwise the camera lens might be damaged.
Mount the transparent dome housing.
- Align the screw holes in the base, and tighten the two cross-recessed pan-head screws on the edge of the transparent dome housing to fix it, as shown by in the following figure.
- Align the grooves (non-tail cable grooves) of the transparent dome housing to the buckle of the base, and push up the dome housing to fix it, as shown by in the following figure.

NOTE!

The preceding installation process is concealed installation, during which holes are drilled in the ceiling and tail cable is led out from the top of the camera. Cables are connected and frapped at the ceiling side to prevent messy cables from affecting camera mounting. If open installation is adopted, tail cable is led out from one side of the camera and can be routed from the side groove of the camera.
After mounting the dome housing, check that the two cross-recessed pan-head screws on the edge of the dome housing are tightened up to ensure that the camera is properly sealed. For details, see Mount the transparent dome housing.

The following part shows an example. The actual device may vary.

Connect the NVR to a monitor with a VGA or HDMI cable (not included in the kit).

Network Security
Please take all necessary measures to enhance network security for your device. The following are necessary measures for the network security of your device:

Change default password and set strong password: You are strongly recommended to change the default password after your first login and set a strong password of at least nine characters including all three elements: digits, letters and special characters.
Keep firmware up to date: It is recommended that your device is always upgraded to the latest version for the latest functions and better security. Visit Uniview’s official website or contact your local dealer for the latest firmware.

The following are recommendations for enhancing network security of your device:

Change password regularly: Change your device password on a regular basis and keep the password safe. Make sure only the authorized user can log in to the device.
Enable HTTPS/SSL: Use SSL certificate to encrypt HTTP communications and ensure data security.
Enable IP address filtering: Allow access only from the specified IP addresses.
Minimum port mapping: Configure your router or firewall to open a minimum set of ports to the WAN and keep only the necessary port mappings. Never set the device as the DMZ host or configure a full cone NAT.
Disable the automatic login and save password features: If multiple users have access to your computer, it is recommended that you disable these features to prevent unauthorized access.
Choose username and password discretely: Avoid using the username and password of your social media, bank, email account, etc, as the username and password of your device, in case your social media, bank and email account information is leaked.
Restrict user permissions: If more than one user needs access to your system, make sure each user is granted only the necessary permissions.
Disable UPnP: When UPnP is enabled, the router will automatically map internal ports, and the system will automatically forward port data, which results in the risks of data leakage. Therefore, it is recommended to disable UPnP if HTTP and TCP port mapping have been enabled manually on your router.
SNMP: Disable SNMP if you do not use it. If you do use it, then SNMPv3 is recommended.
Multicast: Multicast is intended to transmit video to multiple devices. If you do not use this function, it is recommended you disable multicast on your network.
Check logs: Check your device logs regularly to detect unauthorized access or abnormal operations.
Physical protection: Keep the device in a locked room or cabinet to prevent unauthorized physical access.
Isolate video surveillance network: Isolating your video surveillance network with other service networks helps prevent unauthorized access to devices in your security system from other service networks.
