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 Device Search” Utility
Through the browser from another PC on the network:
• The NVR is placed in a network without DHCP server (or you are
connecting to it directly): Access the NVR with its default IP
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.
Direct operation:
Use NVR 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 “NVR 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.

ESV16U, ESV32U User’s Manual 19
To begin, launch the “NVR Device Search” utility from the CD and
proceed with the installation:

20
ESV16U,ESV32U User’s Manual
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.
