2.1 Camera IP Configurations by LAN
Note: Before connecting the system and powering on the NVR, make sure a hard disk is installed in the
NVR for evidentiary recording. To know how to install a hark disk, please refer to “APPENDIX 4
HARD DISK INSTALLATION’ at page 22.
2.2.1 AUTO Mode
Auto mode is to simplify the complicated network settings within three minutes. The connection mode of the LAN
port is “AUTO” by default. This mode is suitable when the LAN port of the NVR is connected to a hub.

The NVR will automatically configure the IP address of a camera connected by LAN if:
The connected IP camera is our brand’s IP camera.
Reset the IP camera to default value (the default IP configuration method of the camera is “DHCP”).
The camera is powered on before the NVR is powered on.
If the NVR doesn’t configure the IP address of your camera automatically as described above, your IP
camera might NOT be:
Our brand’s IP camera.
Set to “DHCP” as its default IP configuration method.
To solve this, use our brand’s IP camera, and reconfigure its IP address to 10.1.1.xx (xx ranges from 11 ~
253), in the same network segment as the NVR.
a) Select “ ” on the bottom of the screen, you’ll see the list of every connected IP camera with its connection
status to this NVR and MAC address.
b) Select the IP address which is not used, and select “SETUP”.

2.1.2 Static / DHCP Mode
Note: SETTING Path: (ADVANCED CONFIG) NETWORK LAN MODE.
When the LAN port of the NVR is connected to a router (not a hub), you can:
Choose “Static” when you know the network segment of your router.
For example, the IP address of your router of 192.168.0.1, and the network segment of your router will be
192.168.0.xx (xx is ranged from 2 ~ 254).
You can assign the IP address of the connected IP camera(s) by yourself.
Choose “DHCP” when your router supports the DHCP function, and you do not know the network segment of
your router.
The IP address of the connected IP camera(s) will be assigned by your router.
Note: The rear panel may vary depending on the models, so the above picture is only for reference.

2.2 Manual Connection Setup
To manually assign a channel to connect to the IP camera, select a corresponding “PROTOCOL” from the drop
down list first, click “URI” to enter the address of the camera, and enter its port number. There are four protocol
types available in the drop down list as follows: “AVTECH”, “ONVIF”, “RTSP OVER HTTP”, and “RTSP OVER
UDP”. If you are using AVTECH IP cameras, please select “AVTECH”; otherwise, choose the protocols your
cameras support.

Note: Network configurations may require a person who has advanced network knowledge. It’s
recommended to check with your installer for this service if possible.
4.1 Understand How Your Laptop / Computer Connect to Internet
Then, connect your NVR directly to your router / hub / modem with a network cable, and power it on.
If you’re using:
Router + modem, please refer to “4.2 Router + Modem”.
Modem or modem + hub, please refer to “4.3 Modem / Hub + Modem”.
4.2 Router + Modem
Before configuring, make sure:
Your laptop / PC is connected to the same router as the NVR is intended to connect to.
You know the IP address, user name and password to access your router.
The DHCP function of your router is on.
Note: For details, please refer to the user manual of your router.
Step1:Connect your NVR to the router with a RJ45 network cable, similar as follows:
