Chapter 7. 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.
