Features
Comprehensive IP Surveillance Solution
• Total Solution: The D-Link NVR is a standalone SATA RAID network video recorder capable of 24/7 recording without
a PC. The NVR can manage multiple network cameras, providing direct access to view live video and play recorded
data through the Internet from anywhere anytime. The device itself is compact in size and incorporates a physical
security lock.
• Easy to Use:Auser-friendlyGUIsimpliesnetworkandcamerasetup,allowinguserstoeasilyaccessmultiplecameras
for viewing, recording, playback, and conguration.
• Centralized Interface for Conguration: NVR provides a exible and economic alternative to manage and congure
multiple Network cameras on a centralized web interface.
• Megapixel Resolution Support: The major advantage of digital over analog video is its higher resolution support.
The NVR supports high resolution megapixel recording for vivid video with high clarity.
• Empowered by Mydlink technology: DNR-322L can be easily setup for internet access. It supports real-time monitoring
and playback from everywhere via IE browser.The recording store in your own HDD with high privacy, not in the cloud.
Complete Network Functionality
• PPPoE Support:The D-Link NVR utilizes ADSL services. It can connect to the Internet via an ADSL modem over Ethernet.
• DDNS Support: Dynamic DNS is a solution for users without a xed IP address. With DDNS service, users can connect
to the NVR from the Internet using an easy-to-remember domain name.
• NTP Support: Maintaining an accurate record of time is essential if recorded data is to be used as evidence. To ensure
that the time recording is always accurate, the NVR can update the system clock from an Internet server using the
Network Time Protocol (NTP).
• DHCP Server: The NVR can act as a DHCP server for easy deployment when the network environment is very simple
and there is no existing DHCP server.

Section 1 - Product Overview
Fully Functional Recording
1. Flexible Recording Schedule: Once cameras have been set up, a highly congurable scheduling system allows
for continuous recording or recording during specically allotted time frames. Each camera can be set to record
independently at preset intervals. It also provides event recording based on specic triggers.
2. Recording Automatic Overwrite: The NVR can be congured to overwrite the oldest data automatically when Hard
Disk space runs out, allowing for continuous and uninterrupted recording. Users can specify the number of days the
recording should be kept (within the limits of the Hard Disk capacity). For example, if the NVR has the capacity to store
7 days of recording, using the overwrite option, the NVR will record the 8th day and delete the 1st day.
3. Recording Stop Alert: The NVR also provides the option to stop recording when the Hard Disk is full. When the disk
reach capacity, a notication can be sent via E-mail or to an external device such as an audible alarm or LED display.
Comprehensive Data and Hardware Security
1. Secure Data: RAID 1 duplicates the recordings database onto two separate drives. In the event of an Hard Disk failure,
data integrity is maintained on the secondary Hard Disk.
2. Auto Boot after Power Recovery:The NVR will boot up automatically once the power is recovered after a power outage.
3. Access List Control: User can specify safe and blocked IP addresses to lter the external connections; this feature
increases data security.
4. Multiple User Privilege Control: Administrators may also choose access privileges for users by specifying the cameras
they may have access to live view, playback, audio, and PTZ functions.
5. UPS Status Monitor: A UPS can be used as emergency power supply for the NVR. The UPS uses a USB interface to notify
the NVR to perform a proper shutdown before battery power runs out.
6. Backup Recording Data: Recorded data is stored in a secure database.This recorded data can be backed up to additional
storage locations periodically or whenever needed.
Powerful Event Management
1. Camera Status: The camera status page will show connection, recording, frame rate and bit rate information of each
camera. Meanwhile, the estimated available recording time is also displayed for quick reference.
2. Flexible Event Management: Event setup is another key conguration of the NVR. The NVR can monitor all of the
camera triggers from motion detection. One of the most powerful functions is notication application. The NVR
centrally controls the E-mail and recording of all the connected cameras.

AVI format will export raw video. The ASF le format will transpose a timestamp on the exported video.
2. Playback Speed Control: Playback speed control allows for up to 16x speed fast forward or fast backward play. The
step playback option displays one frame at a time.
