Starting and Shutting Down Your NVR
Proper startup and shutdown procedures are crucial to expanding the life of your NVR.
To startup your NVR:
1. Ensure the power supply is plugged into an electrical outlet. It is HIGHLY recommended that an
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be used in conjunction with the unit. The Power indicator LED on the front
panel should turn red, indicating the unit is receiving power.
2. Connect the NVR to a VGA monitor. You will only see the NVR menu system, when it's connected to a VGA
monitor.
3. Press the POWER switch on the back rear panel. The Power indicator LED should turn blue. The unit will
begin to start.
4. After startup, the Power indicator LED will remain blue. A splash screen will be shown (Figure 7).
