Initial Set Up - Q-See QC Series Quick Start Manual

Initial Set Up

Your NVR features a Startup Wizard that will guide you through the initial setup process including connecting your system to your network and the Internet. This Wizard should only be run during initial setup and should
be turned off once you've completed setup.
STEP 4 Startup Wizard
1. The Startup Wizard will launch once your NVR
has booted up. Choose the language you wish the
NVR to use from the pull-down menu.
If you change the language, the NVR will restart
allowing you to continue using the wizard in your
desired language.
You can click on the box next to Startup to
prevent the wizard from launching the next time
the NVR boots up. Click Next Step to continue.
2. Set the current date and time, along with your
preferred format for displaying dates (day, month
or year first). You should also select your time
zone along with whether it is Daylight Savings
Time and whether the NVR will use the 24-hour
method or the conventional AM/PM mode for
noting time. Enabling Time Server allows the NVR
to check a network server to maintain accurate
time.
3. The next window shows the recording status of all
the channels on both the main stream and the sub
stream which is used by computers and mobile
devices. You do not need to adjust these settings
at this time as your system is pre-configured to
record whenever a camera detects motion.
4. Click Next Step to to get to the Network Setup
explanation window.You should ensure that your
NVR is properly connected to your router using
an Ethernet or Network cable before continuing.
It is not recommended to connect the NVR to a
network hub, but rather directly to the router that
connects your system to the Internet.
In most cases, the router will have a light that
flashes when it detects a device properly
connected to that port.
When you are ready, click Next Step to allow
your system to connect to your network.
IMPORTANT! You must follow these steps to enter the current date and time in order to effectively use the video search function described at the end of this guide.

5. The NVR will attempt to connect to your
network's router. If it is successful, it will display
your LAN (Local Area Network) address. This is
the address which you will use when accessing
the NVR from a computer or mobile device on
the same network (ie; within the same building
as the NVR).
If the attempt is unsuccessful, ensure that your
NVR is properly connected before clicking on
Prev. Step to try again.

6. Next, your NVR will attempt to establish
connectivity to the Internet through your router
using the UPnP protocol. Most routers have this
Save
functionality.
NOTE: 2Wire brand routers do not offer UPnP
and you will need to consult the Networking
Guide poster to connect your NVR to the
Internet.
If you experience difficulties, please consult
your router's manual to ensure that the UPnP
functionality is available and is enabled on your
router. Once you have adjusted your settings,
you may click on Prev. Step to go back and try
again.
You may get an error message if you attempt to

run the wizard a second time after a successful
connection.
7. If it is able to successfully communicate with the
router through UPnP, the NVR will access the
ports which you will use to control and view the
system over the Internet.
8. The NVR will also determine its Internet or
WAN (Wide Area Network) address. This is the
IP address which you will enter into a browser
window or remote monitoring program when
away from your network.
9. When completed, you can close the wizard.
