Initial Configuration

1.The system power on self test and OS initialization takes about 2 minutes to complete. Once your NVR is started, you will be prompted by the Setup Wizard. You should then begin the initial setup. The system is booted from an embedded IDE flash. No software installation is required.

IMPORTANT:

1.During boot-up, a Startup Menu will prompt allowing you to restore system to factory defaults. This function is only required in circumstances that you need to renew all system settings, such as moving the NVR to a different installation site or network environment.

2.You must install at least one hard drive for the initial configuration. Otherwise, the LiveClient console will not start.

2.Enter the default User name and Password as admin & admin. It is recommended you change the password later to prevent unauthorized access.

3.Click Next to proceed with configuration and follow the onscreen instructions to finish the configuration process.

4.Note the following when you move to the Network page:

4-1. If your local network has a DHCP server, you can select the "Get IP address automatically (DHCP)."

4-2. If your LAN port connects to an isolated switch with cameras attached to it, you can manually assign IP addresses to cameras, and the address for the LAN port itself.

The default static IP for the LAN port is 192.168.1.10.
