Installing the storage unit

  • Loosen the screws and open the NVR housing
  • Connect the data cables and secure the hard drive with the screws
  • Close back the NVR housing
  • Connect the power and internet cable to the NVR
Turn on the device

Plug the power cord into a 230V outlet. The NVR will start. The indicator LED will light up. By default, 16 channels will be displayed on the screen. If the start time is within the preset schedule for recording, then the recording function will start automatically.

Notes:

  1. Check that the input voltage corresponds to the recommended voltage of the device. The supply voltage is 230V ± 10% / 50 Hz 2A.
  2. We suggest using a UPS device to protect the device from voltage fluctuations.
Turn off the device

There are two ways to turn off the device.

  1. Access the main menu (right click on the screen) and select the option Logout – Shutdown
  2. Turn off the power supply.
Special warnings:

1. Restart after power failure. If the device is closed abnormally, it creates a backup and restarts from that status after power is restored.
2. Replace the battery on the system board. Before replacing the battery, you must backup your system settings (see chapter Advanced-Import / Export ) and turn off the power supply. The device time and date must be set again after the battery is replaced. We recommend that you replace the battery every year.

Remote control of the device

The NVR can be controlled locally or remotely from both smartphones and computers with Windows operating system.
