Product Overview
The SVSi N6223 is a networked video recorder capable of recording up to 80 hours of high-resolution, HD
content over four Ethernet LAN connections. This rack-mount DVR is compatible with all SVSi
video-over-IP products and attaches to the video network at any point to record up to 80-hrs of 1080p
video. Each video stream is recorded and played back at its original resolution. The N6223 acts as a
receiver during recording and as a transmitter during playback. The N6223’s 3RU form-factor is stackable
for a high density of recorded video streams in a small footprint.

Installation Instructions
The NVR requires up to five connections to install.
Attach the NVR to the network by connecting up to four Ethernet cables to the RJ-45 ports on the back of
the NVR. If the application is simply using the N6223 for enhanced recording time, then only a single
network connection is required for each play/record head that will be utilized. If utilized as four NVR’s
then four network connections will be required.
Connect the power cable to the NVR and turn on the master power switch above. The unit will then power
on automatically.
1. Rack ears come pre-mounted on the NVR, which is a 3RU device.
2. Insert the NVR into the rack and align the mounting holes of the rack ears with
the holes in the rack.
3. Connect the appropriate cables as described above in Installation Instructions.
Accessing the NVR
The NVR is discoverable using our Conductor Netlite Software (found here:
http://svsiav.com/support/resources/software/), just as any other SVSi device is.
The NVR ships with Auto IP as the default IP mode for all four network cards. This means that it will
automatically configure an IP address in the range of 169.254.X.X with a netmask of 255.255.0.0. Once
Conductor discovers the four “heads” of the NVR using the Auto-Discovery tool in Conductor Netlite (or a
N-8000 series controller), you can determine the IP address of each card.

Mounting Instructions
For rack mounting the NVR, follow the steps below:

Default username and password:
Username: admin
Password: password
Configuring the NVR
Once the NVR is discovered, double-click on of the names to bring up its settings page. On the basic
settings tab, you can assign its output and record stream numbers, change its IP configuration, enable a
dual-sync recording (N-2000 and V-Series) and enable/disable audio. You will need to complete this
process for all four DVR’s that appear in your control software.
While the four NVR heads require individual IP addresses for playback and recording purposes, overall
system management can be done by utilizing any of the four IP addresses. You can enter any one of the
NVR’s IP addresses into a web browser (or click the button with its IP address on the settings page
pictured below) to access recordings and other features covered later in this manual for all four
recording/playback heads.
On the Advanced Settings tab,
you can perform master delete
commands, reset to factory
defaults, or reboot the unit.

Recording Sources
The N6223 can record and playback 2x N-1000 stream, 8x N-2000 streams (in sync), or 40x N-3000
streams (N-3000 available late 2013) per playback/record head. Transport controls are available on the
DVR window of Netlite.
To start a recording of a source:
2. Use the drop-down menu(s) to select the desired recording head, and sources
you wish to record.
1. Select the ‘DVR’ Tab within Conductor Netlite

NOTE – if you do not enter a duration, a recording cannot begin.
Playback of Recordings
Within the Matrix view, you will notice that the NVR shows up across the top as four sources (for playback
operation) and in the left-hand column as four displays (for recording purposes).
To playback a recorded file:
3. Enter a text description of the file to be recorded. This has a maximum
character length of 255 characters. No Special Characters other than dot (.)
and dash (-) are allowed.
4. Enter duration (in minutes) for the recording to last.
5. Press the Record button.
1. Assign the output of one of the play heads to a Decoder within the Video
Matrix.
2. Click on the DVR tab of Netlite.
3. Select the appropriate DVR for playback
4. Select the file you wish to play back from the list of recordings.
5. Select the check-box at bottom if you wish to continually loop playback.
6. Use the Playback Controls to begin playback.

1. Click on the DVR tab of Netlite.
2. Select any of the DVR’s in the N6223
3. Select the file you wish to convert to MPEG from the list.
4. Click the Convert to MPEG button.*
5. The NVR will now begin converting the selected file.
Converting Files to MPEG
You have the ability to convert any non-Copy-Protected file to MPEG for offloading from the NVR.
Copy-Protected video cannot be converted from the proprietary format.
Downloading Converted MPEG Files
Enter one of the NVR’s IP addresses into your web browser. Use the default login information mentioned
at the beginning of this manual.
To convert a recorded file:
*For N-2000 or V-Series recordings, select the Convert 2nd Stream checkbox if this is a dual-stream recording and you want
both streams to be converted.
Once logged into the NVR, simply right-click and “Save As” on any file you wish to download.

Note: The N6123 and N6223 cannot record more than one type of stream (N1000/N2000/N3000) at
a time.
1) N1000 streams have reduced recording times due to larger bandwidths and N3000 streams would
have increased recording times due to larger bandwidths relative to N2000 streams.
2) Time-shift (tape delay) feature not available for N1000 recordings.
3) N1000 multi-channel stream count is reduced and N3000 multi-channel steam count increased based
on stream bandwidth. All streams must be synchronous.
