2. IP CAMERA SETUP
Once you have successfully setup your CCTV system, the newly installed NVR must be made aware of the IP cameras connected to the
system, in order to record. 'Plug-n-play' NVRs will find the cameras for you without any setup, but there are times where you may need to
manually setup the connected cameras so that they can be found by the NVR on the network. When you have booted up the NVR, you will
eventually see a blank multi-tiled live view interface. Follow the instructions below to manually set up the IP cameras correctly:
1.
The system 'Settings' is where you can modify the NVR's camera configuration
and parameters, and set them to run your CCTV security system. You can find the
'Settings' (and Schedule setup feature) options by clicking the right mouse button
anywhere within the multi-tiled live view screen, and then selecting the 'Settings
Login' on the options list (highlighted on the right by the red box).
2.
You will then see a login screen appear. Type in the default Username and
Password to access the 'Video Control Panel'.
Default Username: admin
3.
Click on the 'Settings' button (highlighted by a red
box in the image to the right), and it will display the
7 menu headings. Then click on the 'IP Cameras'
option (also highlighted by a red box).
4.
The next window that will appear is the 'IP Camera Settings'.
Select 'IP Cameras: Setup, Add, Remove and Rename'.
5.
This menu defines all controls of IP cameras. Follow the
steps to the right to configure IP cameras:
A
The NVR automatically determines the 'Start IP' and
'End IP' addresses. If this has not occured then please
consult a local network administrator or use the 'ipconfig'
application on a windows PC.
B
Generally, leave the 'Login' and 'Password' fields
blank. Only fill in these fields if any of the IP cameras'
admin passwords have changed from the default.
C
Click the 'Search' button and the IP cameras
should appear in the lower left. Add them individually
by selecting the IP camera and clicking on the 'Add
Camera' button (just below login info).
D
Click on a camera in the list to see further information
about the camera, rename it or remove it.
Default Password: ad^min

3. CONFIGURING
IP CAMERAS
If you would like to change the video quality
of your IP camera so that less data storage on
your hard drive is used then you can adjust the
levels within the 'IP Cameras: Video Quality and
Motion' menu section. At the same time you
can also set the motion sensor settings for each
IP camera (see User's Manual for more info).
