Start Up and Shut Down

Startup

  1. Connect the monitor and the power.
  2. The device will boot and the power indicator will display blue.
  3. A wizard window will pop up.

Shutdown
Click “Start” and then select “Shutdown” icon. This will bring up a shutdown window. The device will shut down by clicking “OK” button. Then disconnect the power.

Login
The default username is admin and the default password is 123456. You must configure the wizard if you start the NVR for the first time and you may change the password when you configure the wizard for the first time. You can skip the settings wizard next time. Click “Start” and select “Login”. This will take you to see a login box. Enter the default username and password you set. Then you will see the live image.

Configurations and Connections

Network Configuration & Adding IP Camera
After you finish adding IP cameras, you can see the live images through the monitor of the NVR. The following will mainly introduce how to add the IP cameras via LAN/WAN.

LAN

  1. Set the network of the NVR. Go to Start → Settings → Network → TCP/IP. Enter IP address, subnet mask, gateway, etc. If using DHCP, please enable DHCP in both the NVR and the router.
  2. Go to Start → Settings → Network → Port. Enter HTTP port (the default value is 80), server port (the default port is 6036).
  3. The internal ethernet port is the port which connects all the PoE ports with the NVR system. The PoE ports are available if the internal ethernet port is online. If it is offline, all the PoE ports will be unavailable. The IP address and subnet mask of the internal ethernet port can be changed to make the port in the same network segment with the IP cameras which directly connect to the PoE ports of the NVR.genie-WNVR18P5AI-PoE-8-Channel-H-265-8MP-NVR-with-1HDD-Bay-and-Facial-Recognition- \(5\)
  4. Go to Start → Settings → Camera → Add Camera. The NVR will automatically refresh the cameras searched. The IPC which supports the Onvif protocol may be added manually. If the IPC searched is not in the same local network as the NVR, you should select the device and click to modify the IP address.genie-WNVR18P5AI-PoE-8-Channel-H-265-8MP-NVR-with-1HDD-Bay-and-Facial-Recognition- \(7\)
  5. Checkmark the device you want to add and then click “Add” button.The NVR will automatically refresh the cameras and return to “Edit Camera” interface. “Online” status means connecting the device successfully and you will see the live image. You may select the added device and click button to modify channel, IP address, etc.genie-WNVR18P5AI-PoE-8-Channel-H-265-8MP-NVR-with-1HDD-Bay-and-Facial-Recognition- \(8\)

WAN

  1. Set the network of the NVR. Go to Start → Settings → Network → PPPoE. Enter static IP address or enable PPPoE and then enter the user name and password received from your ISP.
  2. Go to Start → Settings → Camera. Click “Add Camera” or behind the column of the search camera and select “Manually Add” to add the IP cameras. Enter IP address, server port, username and password of the IP camera. The IP camera must be connected over WAN. And here the IP address of the IP camera must be a WAN IP address.

UPnP

You can use the UPnP function to enable the fast connection of the device to WAN via a router without port mapping.

  1. Go to Start → Settings → Network → UPnP, and enable UPnP and then click “Apply” button to save.
  2. Enable the UPnP function in the router.
  3. Click “Refresh” button to refresh the UPnP status. If the UPnP status were still “Invalid UPnP” after refreshing it for several times, the port would be wrong. Please change the mapping type to “Manual” and then click to modify the port until the UPnP status turns to “valid UPnP”.

NAT

  2. Go to Start → Settings → Network → TCP/IP. You can obtain the IP address, subnet mask and gateway automatically. You can also manually enter them according to the actual network situation. Please make sure the network segment is the same as that of the network which is used.
  3. Set the preferred or alternative DNS Server. Click “Apply” to save the parameters.
  4. Go to Start → Settings → Network → NAT tab. Enable NAT and select the NAT Server Address (The default NAT Server Address is nat.autonat.com). Click “Apply” to save the parameters.
