Connect to the NVR
There are various ways you can connect to the NVR and below are the
suggested methods for different network setup:
Use LevelOne Device Search Utility
If the NVR is placed in a corporate network or a local area network where a
DHCP server is already presented, run the “LevelOne Device Search” utility
from a computer that is on the same network and locate the NVR with its IP
address that is assigned by the top-level DHCP server.
To begin, launch the “Device Search” utility from the CD and proceed with the
installation:
Once the installation is complete, check the “Launch the program” option and
click “Finish”.
The search should start automatically and its status should be displayed.

Access the NVR with its default IP address
The NVR comes with a pre-configured static IP “192.168.101.50”. However, it is
only used when there is no DHCP server presented in the network. The NVR will
turn on its DHCP server function and act as the DHCP server in the network.
To connect to the NVR, connect the PC directly to the NVR using a crossover
CAT5 Ethernet cable. Simply access the NVR from your web browser with its IP
address.
Again, you should be prompted for the username and password. Enter its default
username “root” and password “root” and then click ”OK” to enter the system.
