Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing PLANET 8/16/32-Ch Network Video Recorder. The
Network Video Recorder is designed for use within a surveillance system, and
performs recordings and playbacks from network cameras in the system. It is a
recording device using a hard disk drive to record camera pictures instead of using
video tapes so that pictures recorded by repeated overwriting will not experience
deterioration of the recorded picture quality. Up to 8 (for NVR-820), 16 (for NVR-
1620) and 32 (for NVR-3210, NVR-3250 and NVR-3280) cameras can be connected
via a network and it is possible to record their camera pictures. It is possible
to perform the settings or operate the NVR using a web browser installed on a
PC connected to a network, or remote controller. Recorded video can be played
back from remote site via a PC. Up to 4 PCs (web browsers) can access this unit
concurrently and it is possible to perform the settings and operate this unit. The
NVR is compatible with most major brand cameras and its ability to automatically
search and nd the available cameras on the network can greatly reduce the user
effort when expanding the system.
1.1 Before Installation
Before installation, please be sure to read this quick installation guide and user’s
manual (CD) carefully to complete machine installation. This guide shows how to
