1.7. Change the remote control ID
The remote control will be active only if the remote control ID matches with that specified on the NVR.
If multiple NVRs are installed on one place and you have just a single remote control, use the ID button to set the
remote control ID.
Only the ID-matching NVR can be controlled.
1. From <SYSTEM> - <CONTROL DEVICE> under the System Setup menu, set the <REMOTE CONTROLLER ID>
and press <APPLY>.
Select between 00 and 99. For more details, refer to <SYSTEM SETUP>.
The remote control will be active only if the remote control ID matches with that of the NVR's system ID
2. Press the [id] button on the remote control. The default remote control ID is 00.
3. Use the number buttons to provide a two-digit ID. If you want to enter 01, for instance, enter the number 0
and 1 in sequence.
Check if the remote control ID is set properly by manipulating the remote control.
4. To reset the ID to 00, press and hold the [ID] button.

2.1. HDD Replacement
User can replace hard disk if existing one reaches its full capacity or becomes problematic.
1. Remove the bracket screw on the bottom of the
NVR.
2. Hold the bracket handle in the middle and pull it out
to separate the bracket from the main unit.
3. Install the HDD on the separated bracket and fasten
4 screws on both sides to secure the HDD.
! When installing HDD, make sure to install in the
correct direction.
4. Insert the bracket installed with HDD back into the
main unit.
5. Fasten the bracket screw removed earlier.

User's Manual PNVR200 series
14
2.2. Basic Layout
2.3. Precautions
To secure recording stability from an overloaded network traffic, hacking attempt or DoS (Denial of Service) attack,
only the direct cable connection between camera and NVR is allowed.
! Using a hub is allowed only for extending single channel for extended transfer range to 100m each.
Any access from an outside PC to the IP camera will be strictly prohibited for the purpose of secure operation.
! Signal connection for POS and ATM is scheduled to be upgraded later.
2.4. Connecting to an external device
Connecting to the monitor2.4.1.
The product supports 1080p 60Hz monitors with HDMI connection and 1920x1080 resolutions DVI monitors only.
Connect the HDMI cable between HDMI output port in the bottom rear panel and HDMI port of the monitor, or use
the HDMI to DVI cable to connect to the DVI port of the monitor.
Power connection2.4.2.
Two adaptors are provided: one for NVR operation (DC 12V), and the other for PoE (Power Over Ethernet, 48V).
NVR power connection2.4.3.
Plug the provided DC 12V adaptor in the rear power port of the NVR.
Poe Switching hub power connection2.4.4.
Plug the provided DC 48V adaptor in the rear power port of the NVR.
When done, attach the adaptor cable clip to the rear panel and insert the cable in.

User's Manual PNVR200 series

Make connection when the power is not applied yet.
Arrange up the cables and be careful not to peel off the cable coating.
Do not place the power cord under the carpet or rug. The power cord is usually earth-grounded. However,
even if it's not earth-grounded, do never modify it on your own for earth-grounding.
Do not insert multiple devices in a single power socket. Otherwise, it may cause a power overload.
For stable power supply, this product provides two separate adaptors and two corresponding AC cords by
factory default. Make sure all cables are connected properly.

User's Manual PNVR200 series
16
Connecting the camera2.4.5.
You can connect a PoE-featuring IP camera to the rear [CAM1]~[CAM8], RJ45 port using the CAT5 10/100Mb Ethernet
cable without a separate power source.
If the IP camera provides the alarm I/O port or Audio I/O port, you can make alarm or audio connection. For
more details, refer to the user manual of the IP camera.
The Ethernet connection is effective within 100 meter in distance. Beyond that, you may encounter a data
loss or failure to connect to the camera. If you need to make cable connection of longer than 100 meters,
use a separate PoE extender for cable extension.
The total power consumption of the IP cameras should not exceed the rated power capacity of the 48V PoE
adaptor. Beyond that, the video may not be played properly or no video will be displayed at all. If this is the
case, use a separate (additional) power source for supplying power to the cameras.
Even if total power requirement meets PoE device’s power capacity, a camera of more than 15W power
requirement per a port cannot be used.
Each camera’s power consumption can be checked on the network map screen, and total power
consumption should consider camera's maximum possible consumption with optional accessories (such as IR
/ heater device).
For stable operation, a dedicated communication line is established for IP cameras in the same network. This
is why network router or hub connection is not allowed.
If the distance between the NVR and IP camera is more than 100m2.4.6.
You may extend the transfer range by connecting a switching hub or PoE device between the Ethernet port and IP
camera if desired distance is longer than 100m.

User's Manual PNVR200 series
17
Connecting cameras directly to a general switching hub requires camera connected to a separate power
supply.
A switching hub connected for extending transfer range of a single channel should be connected to one
camera only.
Alarm I/O Connection2.4.7.
To connect the alarm input signal
Connect the signal line of an alarm input device such as sensor to the rear [ALARM IN] port.
1. While pressing and holding the [A1] or [A2] port button in the rear bottom of the NVR, insert the alarm signal
cable in the hole under the button.
2. Insert the grounding wire in the [GND] port.
3. To ensure secure connection, release the button and pull out the wire to check if it's not pulled out.
4. To remove the wire, pull it out while holding the upper button.

User's Manual PNVR200 series
18
To connect the alarm output signal
Connect the signal line of an alarm output device to the rear [ALARM OUT] port.
1. Check the relay output type of Normal Open or Normal Close before selecting a proper type (N/O or N/C).
While holding the [N/O] or [N/C] button, arrange the alarm signal cable through the hole under the button.
a. NO(Normal Open) : Normally Open but switching to Close if an alarm out occurs.
b. GND : Insert the grounding wire.
c. NC(Normal Close) : Normally Close but switching to Open if an alarm out occurs.
2. Insert the grounding wire in the [GND] port.
3. To ensure secure connection, release the button and pull out the wire to check if it's not pulled out.
4. To remove the wire, pull it out while holding the upper button.
Communication Port
2.4.8.
RS-485 connection

connection settings between NVR and device. Make communication settings in <CONTROL DEVICE>.
1. Use the signal wire to make connection between [D+] of the terminal block plug and [D+] of the keyboard
controller.
2. Make connection between [D-] of the terminal block plug and [D-] of the keyboard controller.
3. Make connection between [GND] of the terminal block plug and [GND] of the keyboard controller.
a. For RS-485 connection, refer to the user manual of the keyboard controller.
