The Setup Wizard automatically runs the first time you start your NVR and will guide you through all the important
During the wizard you will:
• Change Wi-Fi settings
• Choose a language
• Select a video standard
• Select a time zone
• Change display resolution
• Adjust the system time and
date
This quick start guide gives you the choice of configuring
your NVR to run in "AP" mode or "Station" mode. "AP" is the
default mode of operation and the recommended method of
configuration. In this mode the included cameras communicate di-
rectly with the NVR with no configuration required, however a cable
connection to your router is required for Internet access. In "Sta-
tion" mode the NVR and cameras connect to your Wi-Fi network.
This gives you the freedom of placing the NVR in different locations
without being tethered to your router. Wi-Fi booster devices can
also be used to extend the overall coverage allowing you to mount
the cameras that were once outside the range of the NVR.
