WARNING Alerts you to monitor danger, which if not avoided, may cause minor or moderate injuries.
CAUTION Alerts you to risks. Neglecting these risks may cause device damage, data loss, device performance
deterioration, or unpredictable results.
NOTE Provides noteworthy information.
Important Statement
Users are required to enable and maintain the lawful interception interfaces of video surveillance products in strict compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
Installation of surveillance devices in an offi ce area by an enterprise or individual to monitor employee behaviour and working effi ciency outside the permitted scope
of the local law and the use of video surveillance devices for eavesdropping or other illegal purposes constitute behaviours of unlawful interception.
WARNING
Please strictly observe and adhere to installation requirements when installing the device; The manufacturer will not be held responsible for device damage caused
by users’ non-compliance with these requirements.
Please strictly conform to local electrical safety standards and use power adapters that are marked with the local standard when installing and using this device.
Please use the accessories delivered with this device, voltage must meet input voltage requirements for this device.
If this device is installed in places with inconsistent voltage or where lightning storms frequently occur, ensure the device is grounded to discharge any high energy
such as electrical surges, which will help prevent damage.
When this device is in use, ensure that no water or other liquids enter the device. If liquid unexpectedly enters the device, immediately turn off the power and
disconnect all cables (such as power cables, video cables and network cables) from the device.
CAUTION

the original packaging is removed.
Ensure the device is not subject to falls or direct strikes
Keep the device away from electromagnetic interference, and do not install the device in places with unstable surfaces. Doing so may cause connected cables to
become loose and cause the device to malfunction.
Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a neutral cleanser to dampen the cloth then gently wipe the dirt away and dry the area.
Do not block the ventilation to the NVR; this is required to cool the NVR. Follow the installation instructions provided in this document when installing the device.
Do not install near heat sources such as radiators, electric space heaters, or other heat-producing equipment.
Do not install device near moist, dusty, extremely hot or cold environments or places that are subject to radiation.
If the device is installed outdoors, take measures to ensure insects and moisture cannot enter the device to avoid circuit board corrosion, which in turn will have a
negative affect monitoring.

3.1 Startup
Ensure the NVR is securely connected at the power source and the monitor is connected via the HDMI or VGA video output before starting NVR. In some cases, the
NVR will automatically power on when connected to a power supply.
CAUTION Ensure the power supply meets local regulations as in some environments, if the power supply fl uctuates the NVR may not work properly or
could become permanently damaged
During the power up process, the power LED indicator on the front panel will be steady, and the NVR will self-check and display on-screen test and results. Please
pay attention to this. The startup process takes approximately 2 minutes; if a hardware abnormality is detected during the NVR self-check, will be present next to
the test. Select continue or shutdown in the bottom right corner of the screen, continue will redirect you to the NVR login screen.
NOTE
Hard disk detection is performed during start up. If the detection fails, possible causes include:

3.2 Adding IP Network Cameras
By PoE
After the PoE network interfaces are connected to IP cameras, the NVR will automatically add the IP cameras. Figure 3-3 shows the network topology of the NVR.
NOTE
The default user name is admin.
The default password is admin.
It is advised that you change the password when you log in the system
for fi rst time to ensure system security, the VHDIP-V3 Range of NVR’s

Figure 3-2 Network topology of the POE NVR, applies to the
VHDIPL-4V3, VHDIPL-8V3, VHDIPL-16V3
By Network Search
Connecting IP cameras from the network is possible only when the NVR and cameras are within the same IP address range. This type of network confi guration
includes other types of network devices, in addition to the IP cameras and NVR. When the IP cameras and NVR are confi gured in a way that enables them to
communicate with ease over the network, there should be no issues. In this topology, the user must use the network search function from the Quick Setup page to
search and add IP cameras. The NVR will not automatically populate IP cameras from a network.
For details, see chapter 4.1 “Quick Setup”.

unformatted, and unavailable); Check the used space and total space of the hard drive.
CAUTION
Formatting the HDD’s will clear all video data; only use this function when necessary.
Ensure to select unload on the HDD before removing it from the NVR; otherwise, the hard disk may become corrupt or data could be lost. Remove power to the NVR
before removing hard drives.
The NVR must be connected to a stable power supply; a fl uctuating power supply may cause damaged or corrupt data.
Section 4 - Camera setup
IP camera setup
From the camera setup window users can view the status of connected IP cameras and apply a name, confi gure the IP address, set the record schedule, stream
