Connecting 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:
Using 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 Quick Installation Guide 17
To begin, launch the “NVR Device Search” utility from the CD and
proceed with the installation:

18 ESV16U, ESV32U Quick Installation Guide
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.
The NVR should be located and its IP address should be displayed.

ESV16U, ESV32U Quick Installation Guide 19
Double-click on an NVR and the search program should automatically
access the NVR’s web administration page from your default browser.
You will be prompted for the NVR’s username and password. Enter its
default username “admin” and password “admin” and then
click ”OK” to enter the system
Accessing 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.

20 ESV16U, ESV32U Quick Installation Guide
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
Again, you should be prompted for the username and password. Enter
its default username “admin” and password “admin” and then
click”OK” to enter the system
