Connect to the NVR
There are various ways you can connect to the NVR and below are the
suggested methods for different network setup:
Through the browser from another PC on the network:
• The NVR is placed in a network with a DHCP server: Connect to
the NVR by using “SEEnergy Device Search” Utility
• The NVR is placed in a network without DHCP server (or you are
connecting to it directly): Access the NVR with its default IP
Direct operation:
Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the NVR's USB port and a
monitor with VGA input to the VGA output port in the back of the NVR.
Use SEEnergy 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 “SEEnergy 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.

18" NVR32 "Manual!
To begin, launch the “SEEnergy Device Search” utility from the CD and
proceed with the installation:

NVR32 Manual! 19
Once the installation is complete, check the “Launch the Search AP”
option and click “Finish”.
The search should start automatically and its status should be dis-
played.
The NVR should be located and its IP address should be displayed.
Double-click on an NVR and the search program should automatically
access the NVR’s web administration page from your default browser.

20" NVR32 "Manual!
You should be prompted for the NVR’s username and password. Enter
its default username “admin” and password “admin” and then click
”OK” to enter the system
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, use a PC that
is on the same network over a switch or hub, or connect the PC
directly to the NVR using a crossover CAT5 Ethernet cable.
