A-Series Hybrid 4UA NVR Quick Start Guide
Introduction
The exacqVision A-Series is part of exacqVision's series of network video recorders (NVR). The exacqVision A-Series 4UA Hybrid NVR
provides high performance hardware with an exacqVision surveillance video management software.
Installation
Before turning on the exacqVision A-Series server, ensure that you meet the following requirements:
Mounting and operating environment requirements

Mount the exacqVision server in a dust-free, and climate controlled location where the temperature is less than 70°F (21°C), and
the humidity level is less than 80% non-condensing.
Caution: Dust can cause components of the server to overheat, and elevated temperatures can contribute to premature hard
drive failures.

If the hard drives dispatch separately to the system, insert each drive into the appropriate hard drive slot, if
they are numbered.

If you use an outdoor camera, the server must connect permanently to the ground wire. Ensure that
you use an 18 AWG wire or larger to make the connection, and that you label the grounding screw
near the power connector with the image in Figure 1.
Electrical environment requirements
 For maximum reliability, connect the exacqVision server to an online UPS. An online UPS, filters power surges and dips that can
damage the server.

Connect a mouse and keyboard to the server.

Connect the exacqVision server network interface cards (NIC) to the appropriate network switch ports.

It is recommend to use cables with ferrite core for connecting to monitors. If the cable does not have a ferrite core, the unit still
performs as expected but may not meet CE safety regulation standards.
Network connection requirements

If the video surveillance system does not have a physically isolated network, connect all IP cameras, and one server NIC to a
dedicated camera VLAN.

Install the camera manufacturer's software on a PC in this subnet, or configure the router to connect a client computer with the
camera subnet.

This VLAN configuration reduces the chances of network traffic conflicts and unauthorized access to the cameras.
Configuration
After you turn on the exacqVision A-Series Server, log on to the administration account using the administrator credentials:

For Linux, enter the username Administrator and the password admin256.

For Windows, follow the instructions to configure certain settings such as the time zone and language. Enter a new
administrator's username and password when prompted.
Note: It is important to remember this password.
