Configuration

Note 1: Configure the system (NVR + cameras) before installing the devices in the final location.
Note 2: The voice prompt will accompany you throughout the configuration.
After starting the NVR, the quick configuration interface (Startup wizard) will be displayed on the monitor. Follow the steps on the screen.
The system will detect that no camera is connected to the NVR and will start the quick pairing procedure (Quick pair). Note: You can cancel the pairing of the cameras at this step and resume it after completing the configuration of the network parameters (see step 6).
Set the time zone, date, time and language.
Set the user and access password. Follow the steps on the screen.
The system will check the network parameters. If all parameters have OK status, proceed to the next step by pressing the “Next” button. If the network parameters are not OK and you want to configure them manually, press the “Network” button. Check the DHCP option for the automatic retrieval of the parameters or manually enter the requested information (IP Address, Gateway, Subnet mask, etc.)
After correctly configuring the network parameters, you will be redirected to the IP channels configuration interface.
The system will automatically scan (or you can press the “Search” button) the cameras in the network (in the case of cameras already configured in the same network as the NVR) or new unconfigured cameras (the camera needs to be restarted to be identified by the NVR).
After identifying the cameras, press the “Add” button to add each camera on one channel.
After successfully adding the cameras, press the “Next” button.
In the following interface, you can download the mobile application (ICSee) by scanning the QR code on the screen.
Set the channel display parameters on the screen: channel name, time display, recording status display, alarm status, monitor resolution* etc.

Maximum supported resolution 1920x1080px.
Note: Before changing the resolution, make sure that the monitor connected to the NVR supports that resolution. If the resolution set in the menu is higher than the resolution of the monitor, nothing will appear on the monitor and you will no longer be able to access the menu. If, however, this happens, connect the NVR to a monitor with a higher resolution, access the menu and change the resolution.
