NVR Setup – System Configurations
7.1 Network Setup
The “System Configurations” page provides users with options to set up the
device quickly and properly. After properly configuring all settings in all the
sub-pages, users should expect a fully working network video recorder that is
ready to manage cameras on the network. We will start by configuring its
network settings to make sure it works correctly in your network. Next, we will
help you adjust the system time so videos will be recorder with correct
timestamp. To better secure the system for unwanted disturbance, we will guide
you on setting up user’s account and privileges to prevent settings from getting
altered by users other than the system administrator. Lastly, we will tell you
what you should expect after installing a hard disk and how to prepare the hard
disk for the video recording.
7.1.1 Network Settings
You need to adjust settings on this page for the device to work properly in your
network. It is critical that settings here are configured correctly based on your
network configurations so that the recorder can be administered through the
local area network and cameras can be connected from it.
By default, the recorder is set to "Auto Mode" which if there's a DHCP server in
the same local network, the NVR can obtain IP address from DHCP server, and
you can locate the NVR by using the NVR search utility.
If there's no DHCP server in the network, and the NVR is set to "Auto Mode", it
will use its own default static IP 192.168.101.50.
