32 Channel NVR (Non POE) Configuration

This guide will assist you in configuring your 16 or 32 channel NVR system using an external
POE switch. Before following this guide you will want to make sure the following steps have
been taken:
-Make sure the NVR is connected to a power outlet.
-Attach the NVR to a TV or Monitor using HDMI or VGA
-Connect NVR to Router/Switch using Ethernet Port 1 on rear of NVR
-Power on NVR using the rear rocker switch.

Once NVR is powered on. You may want to follow the startup wizard to configure your NVR
for the first time. If you have already gone through the Startup wizard you may cancel out of
this step. For help with the Startup Wizard please see our "Startup Wizard" guide found in
this link: http://cctvsecuritypros.com/support/NOLINKYET.html

Configuring NVR Network Adapter

Step 1:
You will need to configure your NVRs Network Adapter to match your internal
network if you plan on using your system over the Internet. The settings found in this
guide are meant to be an example configuration. You may use the exact settings
found below, but not all networks are created equally.

Network Adapter Configuration

Navigate to the Main Menu - Setting -


Network
Once you are inside of the Network Settings.
Click on TCP/IP on the left column. Click on
the Edit Icon next to Ethernet Port1 / NIC
Member: 1

Click on the IP address field and an on screen


keyboard will pop up on the screen. For our
example we will be changing the IP address
to 192.168.1.200. Once modified click OK.

The Subnet Mask and Default Gateway will


stay the same since the IP Cameras will be
using these addresses.

Now that the IP address has been altered to


192.168.1.200 we can click the Apply button
and OK button on the bottom of the TCP/IP
Settings.
After you click OK on the TCP/IP settings you will
be brought back to the Main Menu. Now would be
a good time to power on your POE Switch and
plug in ONE IP camera. It is recommended to
plug in one single IP camera in at a time to
prevent an IP camera conflict.

Inside of the Camera Settings you will want to


click Registration on the left column

Be sure to give your IP camera enough time to


boot up. IP cameras can take up to 2 minutes to
boot.

Inside of the Registration menu Click on Device


Search. You IP camera will show up towards the
top of the menu.

Note: If you are unable to find an IP camera when


searching check the following:

-POE Switch is powered on or Camera has power.

-Use an alternate Ethernet cable.

-Be sure you have given enough time for the


camera to boot up.

After your IP camera has populated. We will


want to modify this cameras IP address. Keep in
mind that the IP address of the camera can be
any address. Every IP camera that you plug in
will have a 192.168.1.108 address by default.
This is why it is important to only plug one in at a
time.
The first step in modifying an IP camera is to
enter the password of the IP camera. Enter
"admin" (all lower case) into the password field
using the on screen keyboard. We can now
proceed to modify the IP address of the camera.

Click towards the last few digits of the IP


address field. Use the on screen keyboard to
change the address to 192.168.1.201. Click
OK.

This IP address does not conflict with our NVRs


address (which is 192.168.1.200) and will be
the starting point for all of our deployed
cameras from here on.

Click and highlight the check box on the left of


the IP address. After the camera has been
selected from the list, Click Add. This will
move the camera to the "Added Device"
section on the bottom of the page. The Status
will show a Red icon for a few seconds, but if
setup correctly with no conflicts will show a
Green status after a few more seconds.
Now that the camera has been added to the
bottom of the list and is showing a Green
Status your camera should be viewable on
the main screen now.

If you would like to check the cameras video


feed, Right Click until you are back on the
camera view screen and select a View 16 or
View 36. You can double click the cameras
feed to enlarge it to a full screen.

Now that we have added one camera we can


proceed to add the next one in. Connect the
next IP camera to its POE Switch or power
source. Wait a few minutes and Click Device
Search. We will repeat the last few steps and
add this camera.

Click Modify next to the new camera to change


the 2nd IP cameras address.

First enter the password for the camera


which is "admin" (all lower case)

Our next IP camera will be 1 number higher


than the previous camera. This IP camera will
be 192.168.1.202. Click OK after this has
been modified.

*Note: Be careful not to add two IP cameras


on the same IP address. This will drop both
cameras off of the network and will not be
viewable until the conflict is resolved.

In order to resolve an IP conflict you will need to unplug one of the two cameras that are
conflicting. The IP address will need to be changed before the 2nd camera is plugged back in.
You may now add your 2nd camera to the "Added Devices by Selecting the check box and
Clicking Add. Give the camera few seconds to give you a Green Status and move on to the next
one.

An Example below will show what 4 IP cameras look like after they have been added to the
"Added Device" list.

Notice how the IP addresses are one value above the last camera. This is a good idea to keep
your network organized. This step is not necessary but will help troubleshoot in the future should
anything happen.

Like stated in the guide earlier you may use any IP addresses you would like to use as long as it
matches your network.
