Unpacking and Installation

Unpack the unit and place it in the mounting location. Hard drives are preinstalled from the factory. Refer to figure
above.
Keyboard and mouse are not included with the unit – please procure them and connect them to the server.
•
Connect monitor(s) using the DVI and/or HDMI port.
•
If the unit is to be part of a network or on the internet, connect it to the network using the WAN (Internet) port. The
•
port is setup to procure an IP address automatically using DHCP.
Attach the power cord and power the unit on. It is recommended to use an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) to
•
prevent data loss/corruption and/or drive failures due to sudden power loss.
This system is configured to be used in a standalone configuration (not part of a network of NVRs managed by a
common Application Server) and has both the NVR and Application Server installed and running. If this unit is to be used
as an NVR only on a bank of recorders managed by another Application Server, go to the Reconfigure System for Use as
Recording Server Only section that follows.

Configure System: Valerus All-in-One Recorder

1. Log into Windows using default credentials (login: VII; password: 1234).
2. Upon login, double click on the Valerus icon to launch the application.
3. Sign into the application using default credentials (login: admin; password: 1234).
Note: For increased security, it is highly recommended to change the credentials upon
first login both for Windows and Valerus application.
4. Click on the Configuration Tab, then on NVRs.
5. The local NVR should be installed and running, with the IP address 172.17.17.xxx.
The system is now ready to be used as an All-in-One unit and now needs to be licensed. Apply and activate
the licenses provided at the time of purchase. Refer to the Valerus User Guide for activation instructions.
Note: With these settings, the NVR will run as a standalone unit. However, for the system to be visible over the network, the
recorder should be rediscovered and added with the IP address of the WAN port. To use the system over the local network:
1. Plug the WAN port to the local network. Make sure it is assigned an IP address, through DHCP or manually. 2. Remove the
NVR at address 172.17.17.XXX. 3. Click on Discover NVRs. 4. Once discovered, click on the network icon to see all the IP
addresses of the local NVR. Select the WAN IP address and add it. 5. The NVR will now be visible over the local network.
