NOTE!
A PoE port is used to transfer data and provide DC power for a
connected IP camera (if the camera supports PoE function).
The total power of PoE ports on the device is 64W, and the
maximum output power of a single PoE port is 30W. When multiple
powered devices are connected to the device, the device ensures
power for the PoE ports with the smaller port numbers first if the
total power needed exceeds 64W.
3 Power On/Off
Before Power-On
Before you power on the device, check and ensure that:
The device is stably installed with all the screws tightened.
No object is put on the device.
All the cables are correctly connected.
The power supply conforms to specifications.
Power On
Connect the device to the power and then press the power button.

IP Camera auto-add function. If you select Enable IP Camera
auto-add function, the IP Camera window will not display.
By default, all the found IP cameras can be added if the number
is within the allowed limit. If the status of an IP camera is
Connected, it means the camera is added successfully. If the status
is Disconnected, check whether the network connection is normal
or the username and password of the camera are correct.
Storage: a 24-hour recording plan is enabled for all the channels
by default. You can choose a channel and set the recording type
as needed.
You can use the preview function after the Wizard completes, but you
