Note
Translated Quick Install Guides can be accessed on your MAXPRO NVR unit after
logging in, by clicking on Start menu Honeywell Quick Install Guides.
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:
MAXPRO NVR Client Software (Single Site) and Server Software DVD (includes
manuals)
MAXPRO Viewer Multi-Site Viewing Software Kit (includes DVD and Getting
Started Guide). Not shown.
Not shown:
DVI to HDMI adapter
MAXPRO NVR DDNS Installation Instructions Video storage hard drives (installed
in the unit) Rail hardware kit with instructions
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 PE Unit in a Rack
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Keyboard Controller (Optional) Follow the documentation that was included with your IP keyboard controller to connect it to 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
through 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.
| HDMI Output| Not used
---|---|---
DVI-D Output| to DVI monitor or to HDMI monitor with the adapter
VGA Output| to VGA monitor
Display Output| to DP monitor
The recommended resolution for your monitor is 1280 x 1024 pixels (minimum
1024 x 768) and display colors of at least 32 bit.
Dual Network Configuration
Contact your dealer to purchase Honeywell and third-party IP and analog
cameras and encoder.
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 or during transient power
events. If you need to monitor video during a power outage, consider a UPS for
the monitor as well.
- Before powering up the NVR, turn on camera(s) and other devices connected to the NVR.
- Press the power button on the front of the NVR.
- After powering on the unit, you are prompted to log on. The Default user is user name:
NVR-Admin, password: Password$123. The user name and password are case sensitive.
You will be prompted to create a new password the first time that you log in.
The setup wizard starts automatically but may take two minutes to initiate.
Note Translated Quick Install Guides can be accessed on your MAXPRO NVR unit after logging in, by clicking on Start menu Honeywell Quick Install Guides.
Configure the RAID
- The video storage hard drives are pre-configured for RAID 5 in the factory but can be reconfigured for RAID 6 if required. However, there will be less usable video storage space.
- To access the RAID controller, click the HWAM icon on the desktop and login with:
•User name = admin
•Password = 0000
