Connect to the NVR
There are various ways you can connect to the NVR and below are the
suggested methods for different network setup:
•The NVR is placed in a network with a DHCP server: Connect to
the NVR by using “NVR 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
Use NVR 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 “NVR 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.

6
NVR8/16 User’s Manual
To begin, launch the “NVR Search” utility from the CD and proceed
with the installation:

played.

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.
The PC that is connected directly to the NVR (or within the same local
area network) should receive an IP from the NVR. Simply access the
NVR from your web browser with its IP address
