1.2 Overview
Efficient Solution for All Video Formats
PLANET HDVR-435 and 1635 are H.265 Hybrid DVR recorders which are able to record video
and data from traditional AHD (analog high definition), HD-CVI (high definition composite video
interface), HD-TVI (high definition transport video interface) and Network IP security cameras.
The advantage of a hybrid DVR recorder is that it lets you use currently installed analog
security equipment along with newer network IP technology. This enables you to upgrade your
surveillance system to IP equipment at your own pace, according to your budget.
The HDVR-435/635 4-/16-channel embedded system is equipped with HDMI/VGA local
display and features recording, live view, playback and backup functions, etc. With the
easy-to-remember DDNS feature, the HDVR can be placed either in LAN or WAN for easy
installation. Besides, designed for various surveillance applications via RS485 interface, the
HDVR is capable of controlling most types of protocols. For the purpose of general monitoring,
the HDVR-435/1635 offers app viewer, Web browser and CMS (central management software)
for multi-platform remote access, thus making it an ideal solution for various applications, such
as retail stores, communities, SMBs, supermarkets, restaurants and schools.
Bandwidth Savings
With H.265 compression technology, the HDVR-435/1635 offers over 30% more of recording
capacity than systems employing H.264 compression. This advance gives users larger storage
space for longer durations of video recording.
Hybrid Integration
The HDVR-435/1635 series allows each of its 4/16 channels to be connected to either an
analog camera or an IP camera. If you already have analog cameras and want to add on a few
IP cameras, the HDVR-435/1635 series is definitely your ideal choice. In addition, the HDVRs
comply with ONVIF and are interoperable with any third-party IP cameras, thus omitting
compatibility issue and allowing you to add more cameras.
High-resolution Local Display
The HDVR-435/1635 series provides HDMI and VGA video output interfaces for dual local
displays, which can be connected to HDMI monitor or VGA monitor for live view monitoring
with video output of maximum 1920 x 1080 resolutions. Due to local display, it can eliminate

Hybrid Digital Video Recorder
H.265 HDVR series
10
the need for a separate PC to view video from the unit. Besides, it also can be operated with
the USB mouse to configure and monitor all the system easily.
Real-time Remote Monitoring
Video from the HDVR system can be accessed with Web browsers and mobile devices. With
remote monitoring, you can view live and recorded video, allowing for easier monitoring of your
video deployments, and the ability to react quickly to alarms and events.
Manage via Central Management System (CMS)
Not just for small-scale applications such as retail stores and SMBs, the HDVR system is
expandable for multi-site management with the bundled CMS software. The CMS software is
able to manage up to 64 channels of cameras simultaneously. With user-friendly graphic
interface, users can control any cameras or HDVRs easily and make a quick response when
event is triggered. With CMS support, users are able to make surveillance more efficient.

Chapter 3. Connecting to the HDVR
There are various ways you can connect to the HDVR and below are the suggested methods
for different network setups:
The HDVR is placed in a network with a DHCP server: Connect to the HDVR by using “HDVR
Search Tool” Utility.
The HDVR is placed in a network without DHCP server (or you are connecting to it directly):
Access HDVR with its default IP (192.168.0.20).
3.1 Using Search Tool Utility
If the HDVR is placed in a corporate network or a local area network where a DHCP server is
already presented, please install the “Search Tool” utility from the PLANET website.
To begin, execute the “Search Tool” utility.
