6. System Setup

6.1 System Configurations

The "System Configurations" page provides users options to setup 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 gets 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.

6.1.1 Network Settings

You need to adjust settings in 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 obtain IP address from DHCP server, it should
be sufficient in most network environments, and most likely you should not
need to alter anything in this page. To locate the recorder, simply use the IP
Utility with steps described in page 13.
