microNVR Quick Start
Cabling and Powering on your microNVR
IMPORTANT: The microNVR DOES NOT SUPPORT Power Over Ethernet (POE). Only use
the provided 12VDC power supply. You will damage your microNVR if you feed power over
the Ethernet ports. This damage is NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
The microNVR has two setup options:
1. microNVR as a Stand-Alone Computing Device
a. Attach a USB keyboard and mouse to the USB ports on the rear of the device.
b. Attach the included antenna to the RPSMA antenna port on the rear of the
device.
c. Attach a HDMI or DVI monitor to the rear of the device. When using a DVI
monitor you will need to use the provided HDMI to DVI adapter.
d. Attach the power supply and the device will immediately power on.
2. microNVR as a Headless Computing Device
a. Attach the included antenna to the RPSMA antenna port on the rear of the
device.
b. Attach an Ethernet cross over cable between Ethernet port 2 of the microNVR
and your PC, or use an Ethernet switch.
c. Attach the power supply and the device will immediately power on.
d. The microNVR will provide a DHCP address to your computer.
e. Log onto the microNVR using Windows Remote Desktop to address
192.168.168.1 and use user and password “hautespot”.
f. This will present you with the MS Windows XP Professional desktop. The default
user is “hautespot” with password of “hautespot”.
Configuration
The microNVR is running as a Windows 7 Professional SP1 pc with several special modifications.
It is not, by default, routing.
Ethernet port 1 is configured as the public network interface. It uses DHCP to request an IP
address and configuration from an upstream router.
Ethernet port 2 is configured as the private network with an IP address of 192.168.168.1.
Ethernet port 2 is where you connect your camera, Ethernet switch or other network equipment.
DHCP services for Ethernet Port 2 are provided by the DHCPd32.exe application which runs as a
service. It can be found under Network Applications start menu program group. The local network
is 192.168.168.1 and the microNVR will serve out addresses from 192.168.168.100 to
192.168.168.200.
Wireless port 1 is configured as a Client which uses DHCP to connect and as a Virtual Access
Point . The Virtual Access Point uses the native Windows Internet Connection Sharing or ICS
which runs against Ethernet Port 1. The default SSID is micronvr and the default WPA2 key is
1234567890. The interface uses 802.11b/g/n on 2.4GHz. ICS automatically controls DHCP
addresses on this port. The default address of the microNVR for wireless is 192.168.123.1 and
DHCP will give out 192.168.123.2-192.168.123.254 to clients.
Administration
Before using your microNVR you should become familiar with its operation by downloading the
user manual from the HauteSpot Networks website at www.hautespot.net. You will need to create

User Guide for HauteSHOT microNVRv1_8.docxPage 4 of 30 2/15/2013
a user account for yourself on the web site, providing the serial number of your device and the
date and place of purchase.
Once logged into the web site, navigate to the HauteSHOT products download page by clicking
Download, located under the Support tab, to retrieve the manual. You should also navigate to the
HauteWRAP products manual and software pages to download and install the HauteSpot
Networks Wireless Tools utility, the HauteSpot Networks Network Manager utility, and the
complete HauteWRAP user manual, which includes all of the details of using the routing functions
of your device.
Third Party Software
The microNVR comes with a variety of third party “trialware” which are installed on the Windows
version of the product in the D: (Storage) drive. These software packages must be purchased and
licensed through their respective manufacturers. Support for these packages and documentation
may be found on their respective web sites. The microNVR user manual provides basic
information on starting these products as services on the device. HauteSpot Networks does not
support these products and makes no warranty claims regarding their suitability for use.
Once you have installed whatever software from the D: drive, it is advisable to delete all other
sample data from the drive in order to free up space for data storage. Of course this is up to you.
If you would like to retain all of the installations, there is no other reason not to other than space.
For more information, see page 31 or visit the HauteSpot Networks web site at
www.hautespot.net.
Embedded Operating System Boot Disk Protection
Your microNVR runs a hybrid Windows 7 Professional SP1 operating system which provides the
best of both a full desktop system and the disk write protection of an embedded operating
system.
Like any version of Windows 7 Professional, you can install applications, create data files, and
make the system function in any way you require. However, in order to protect the boot partition
from disk corruption due to improper power shutdown, the boot partition is write once, read many.
All read/write activity is done to the D: Drive. We have moved some of the default file locations
from Drive C: to Drive D: so that write activity to Drive C: is minimized.
What this means is that when your microNVR boots up it reads the boot partition from your disk
drive. The operating system creates a RAM disk that acts as a buffer between your boot partition
and only temporarily stores your changes such as registry entries, boot file modifications, system
boot file changes, etc. This RAM drive will be erased if power is lost or the system is restarted.
HOWEVER, you can write your RAM drive to the boot partition, making your changes permanent
by clicking on the “WRITE TO DRIVE C:”icon on your desktop. This will write out all temporary
changes from the RAM drive to your hard disk so they are there when you reboot.
After any of the following activities, you should click the WRITE TO DRIVE C:
After installing a new program
After uninstalling a program
After making any changes to the Operating System
Adding, deleting or changing users or user permissions
Changing the startup of services
Basically, if you are not sure you should click the WRITE TO DRIVE C: after any major activity
where you want that configuration to survive a power reset.

Introduction
The HauteSHOT microNVR is a Windows 7 Professional SP1 or Linux platform for running Video
Management Services that come preconfigured as a wireless access point.
This is a highly customized product which optimizes the software and operating system
specifically for the hardware platform. While the version of Windows 7 Professional is the full
desktop professional version with Service Pack 1 installed, it is not designed to be updated or
modified using Microsoft Windows Update. Updating the operating system may cause damage to
drivers, the Virtual Router or other system level components.
HauteSpot Networks has taken great care to provide the latest system drivers, .NET v4, and
related components in the system. Should you require updating the operating system, please
contact HauteSpot Networks first.
Applications and device drivers supporting devices such as USB modems or cameras can be
safely installed.
In order to optimize system performance, no virus, ad-ware or other security monitoring software
is installed on the system. Such tools require significant processor overhead and slow
performance. Please carefully scan all installation packages on another computer before
installing them on the microNVR.
