STARTING THE DEVICE
4. DEVICE INSTALLATION
Please familiar with the product, its parameters, and the installation process before installation.
Device mounting is realized by screwing the antivibration kit to ground. NVR should be placed
on the flat surface. Due to requirements device can be mounted by:
 Screwing rivet screw (1) from the ground;
 Screwing to the ground using universal holes (2).
5. POWER IGNITION MODULE
NMS NVR M is equipped in power ignition module. It is used to stabilize a power voltage and
allows to relate NVR with engine operation (ignition signal ACC IN). It protects against power surges
at the start-up and shutdown.

This window starts immediate search of:
 IP cameras by NMS Server and NMS Server/Client device
 NMS Servers by NMS Client device.
All IP cameras and NMS Servers must reside in the same subnet as the host computer. Search is
automatic and, when finished, displays a list of available supported devices together with their
IP addresses and names.
Refresh button restarts the search process. Pressing the „Next” opens subsequent window, which
allows to select whether the NMS software is to share video streams over a network or not (function
available only in server and server/client modes). This function has its significance when installing the
NMS in server mode. Option is skipped in client mode.
Pressing the „Next” opens another window, that allows to assign disk recording space and paths
