Step 2. HDD Installation
HDD comes preinstalled. Please contact Larson Electronics for replacement information.
Step 3. Install the NVR
For the following steps, refer to the back panel photo above for the location of connectors.
1. Place the NVR in a location that is secure, well ventilated and clean. The NVR should be positioned such that the back panel connectors
are accessible and the ventilation holes on the sides are not blocked.
2. Connect the ground terminal on the back of the NVR to an earth ground. Refer to local codes for proper grounding.
Step 4. Connect alarm devices to the NVR
Wiring alarm inputs to the NVR
You can wire up to 4 alarm inputs to the NVR.
Alarm IN sensor (N.O. or N.C.)
Typical ALARM IN wiring
Wiring alarm outputs to the NVR
The NVR provides 1 alarm output termination that supports a DC load alarm out circuit. These terminations are marked on the back of the
NVR and are labeled OUT 1 G (G = ground termination).
DC load alarm output circuits
DC loads must operate within the limitation of 12V / 1A. To connect to a DC alarm output, use the following diagram:

Step 1. Getting Started: Unpacking the Equipment
What’s in the box
Your system includes:
• NVR
• 48 Vdc power adapter (NVR-POE-4CH only)
• 6 foot Ethernet cable
• 6 foot HDMI cable
• Power cable, power adapter and cable
• HDD SATA and power interface cables for internal hard disk drive(s)
Remove the equipment from its packaging and place it on a at, clean surface. Inspect each item. If any visible damage is present, contact
your supplier for a replacement. Verify that your order is complete.
What you need
Although each security system installation is dierent, most require the following items not included with your system components:
• VGA or HDMI compatible computer monitor
• IP cameras and cables compatible with the NVR
• Tools to install the cameras and route power and Ethernet cables
• Fasteners to attach the cameras to the mounting surfaces
• A display device to connect to the NVR. The NVR will connect directly to a VGA video monitor or an HDMI monitor (HDMI cable is
provided). The display device is usually needed only for system setup. It can be disconnected when the NVR is networked for access
across a LAN or Internet.
• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This device is used to ensure system stability during voltage surges, sags, and outages. If a UPS is
not available, a power strip with strong surge protection is highly recommended.

4.
your local area network (LAN) into the RJ45 LAN connector on the back of the NVR.
5. Connect the power cord (or power adapter for NVR-POE only) to the power connector on the back panel of the NVR, and then into a
UPS (recommended) or surge protector.
Step 6. Install cameras
Install your security cameras. Always follow the installation instructions provided with the camera. NOTE: If the cameras feature Power over
Ethernet PoE), the cameras that plug into the ports on the back of the NVR can be powered through those ports.
Step 7. Connecting it together – initial system setup
1. Plug the Ethernet drop cables from the cameras into the RJ-45 Ethernet Switch Ports on back of the NVR.
2. Power on your cameras.
3.
4. Power on the monitor.
NOTE display the input connected to your NVR (HDMI or VGA).
Step 8. Use the Wizard for basic c n setup
Power on the NVR. Normally, an splash screen appears within 2 minutes.

Password Reset
1. If they are not already connected, connect a monitor and a USB mouse to the NVR. Use the USB port at the back on the unit to connect
the mouse. The device will not accept a keyboard; you will use an on-screen keyboard to enter information.
2. Power up the NVR if it is not already running.
3. Right-click anywhere on the screen to bring up an initial menu. Select Menu from this list. You will then get a dialog box asking for a
username and password.
4. Double-click in the lower left corner of this dialog box (not the lower left corner of the screen). There is an invisible button in this dialog
box. Another dialog box will appear, asking for the unit’s serial number and a secure code. A unique serial number will populate on its
own.
5. Call Larson Electronics tech support at 800-369-6671. When a support tech answers, tell them that you have lost the administrative
password to your NVR and wish to reset it to factory default. They will ask for the unit’s serial number, which you got in step 4. Please
provide a return contact number with the serial number. The tech will have to validate the serial number and call back with a
confirmation number. They will provide you with the secure code. Write this code down before entering it into the dialog box on screen
to make sure that you got it correctly from the tech. Click OK when done.
6. After entering the secure code and clicking OK, you will then be able to set the admin password to one of your choosing.
Note: As a security feature, be aware that the secure code that the tech provides will only be good for 24 hours.
