Part I Local Operations
An NVR supports two types of operations: local operations and w based remote operations. eb-
With local operations you connect a monitor and a mouse to the NVR and use the mouse to
operate. If your NVR has buttons on the front panel or is delivered with a remote control, you
may also control your NVR by pressing the front panel buttons or using the remote control.
The NVR has an embedded web server and allows web based operations. To do this, you need -
a PC that has a network connection to the NVR and is installed with a web browser. You just
need to navigate to the NVR IP address and log in to the Web interface like you log in to the 's

By default, the main stream is used for storage.
Image Format
Combinations of resolutions and frame rates.
NOTE: This parameter is effective only when the camera is connected

Stream
Normal: main stream that is intended for scheduled recording.
Event: main stream that is intended for recording triggered by

CBR: Constant Bit Rate (CBR) is used to maintain a specific bit
rate by varying the quality of video streams. CBR is preferred when
limited bandwidth is available. The disadvantage is that video
quality will vary and may decrease significantly with increased
motion in the scene.
VBR: When using Variable Bit Rate(VBR), video quality is kept as
constant as possible, at the cost of a varying bit rate, and
regardless of whether or not there is motion in the image. VBR is
ideal when high quality is a requirement, especially when there is
motion in the picture.
Bit Rate(Kbps)

Recording Backup
Backup, also known as recording backup, is the process of querying video stored on a hard disk
of the NVR and then saving the recording to a USB storage device as a file.
Recording backup has the following conditions:
The USB storage device has FAT32 or an NTFS file system and is correctly a
connected to NVR.the
Permission is required.
The recording to back up is stored on hard disk of the NVR.a
NOTE: By default, recording are backed up as MP4 files.

Network Configuration
Network configuration is required if your NVR operates in a network.
NOTE: The default IP address is 192.168.1.30 for NIC 1 and 192.168.2.30 for NIC 2, and
likewise.
Basic Configuration
1. Click > > .System Network Basic
2. Set the network parameters as needed. For some NVR models, DHCP is enabled by
default.
You can choose a working mode if your NVR has two NICs:
Multi address mode: The two NICs work independently and can be configured -
separately. Either NIC can be chosen as the fault route, data will be forwarded de and
through this NIC when the NVR connects to the extranet.
Load balance mode: The two NICs are bound to same IP address and work the
together to share network traffic.
Net fault tolerance mode: The two NICs are bound the same IP address. In cases - to
where one NIC fails, the other takes over service seamlessly from the faulty one to
ensure network connectivity.
3. Click Apply to save the settings.
NOTE:
For an NVR with multiple NICs, you can configure the NICs and choose a default route
(currently NIC1).
If your NVR has a PoE port or a switching port, you can configure an internal NIC IPv4
address.

the NVR and PC can connect to each other using IPv6 addresses. To view live or

DDNS
If your NVR is connected to the Internet through PPPoE, the IP address of network changes the

remotely access your NVR with an IP address. To avoid this issue, you can register with an
DDNS server to obtain a domain name for your NVR and then access your NVR by visiting the
domain name instead of an IP address ( / ) using http://DDNS server address NVR's domain name

Port Mapping
Two port mapping methods are available:
(1) Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
(2) Internal and external mapping
UPnP
UPnP enables the NVR to discover other devices on the network and establish network services
such as data sharing and communication.
To use UPnP in your NVR, you must enable UPnP in the connected router. With UPnP enabled
for Network Address Translation (NAT), the ports on the NVR can be mapped automatically to
the router, and computers can access your NVR from outside the LAN.
1. Click > .System > Network Port Mapping
2. UPnP is enabled by default. Select the desired mapping type from the drop down list. T- o
map ports manually, select and then set external ports for the router.Manual
NOTE:
Automatic mapping (Auto) is recommended. Ports will conflict if not configured
properly.
For an NVR with multiple NICs, port mapping should be configured based on the NIC
specified as the default route.
3. Click check is displayed for these ports under .Refresh and that Active UPnP Status

Manual Port Mapping
If your router does not support UPnP, then you need to configure internal and external ports
manually.
NOTE:
The principle of port mapping is that the internal and external ports of the NVR are
consistent with that of the router.
Some routers may require the same internal and external ports for the NVR and the
router.
1. Click > > .System Network Port Mapping
2. Select for , and then set external ports manually.Manual Mapping Mode
3. Click Apply to save the settings.
NOTE: After port mapping is completed, you may access the Web client of your NVR by
entering the following information in the address bar of your web browser: router's WAN port IP
address:external HTTP port. For example, if 10.2.2.10 is the IP address and 82 is the HTTP port,
then you enter .http://10.2.2.10:82
