Installation

Note: In order to extend the life of the machine, the device should be away from water, high-temperature and dusty environments and be placed in a well-ventilated area.
Before use, ensure that the NVR is grounded correctly and the power supply can not exceed the power supply normal operating voltage range.

Installation Location

It is recommended that the NVR be placed in the centre of the monitoring area, and the installation position of the IPC (wireless camera) and NVR should avoid obstacles as much as possible. When 4 multiple cameras are connected at the same time and there is no obstacle between the NVR and the IPC, the IPC should be placed in a spherical coverage area with a radius of 60m with NVR as a centre. The radius is reduced to 30 meters when there are one wall between the NVR and the IPC. When there are two walls, it is reduced to 15 meters radius (coverage is affected by the physical properties of the obstacles and the surrounding environment: as such, this information is for reference only.)

Connection

  • First, connect the NVR with the mouse and the display.
  • Turn on the power of the NVR and the IPC, then connect the NVR to the IPC with the cable.
  • Right click on the mouse -> click on adding camera-> delete all channels (Note: channels can be selected for deletion individually) -> code matching -> “start code matching?”
  • Click Yes -> Show “on the code matching” -> NVR monitor screen shows that the code matching has been successful (Note: More than one camera can make code matching at the same time).
  • If the code matching fails, click “Refresh” and try again after ensuring the network cable connections are good.
  • Disconnect the network cable to see if the screen is normal: if so,that means the wireless camera has been added successfully -> when all the wireless camera added to the NVR means that the preparatory work is completed. (Figure 1 on next page)

Ensure correct operation

  • Connect the monitor, all IPCs and the antenna to the NVR and power them on to ensure they are functioning correctly. Once they are, you can install the kit.

Installation

  • Install the wireless cameras so that effective signal coverage is provided and connect 12V power supply.
  • Power the wireless camera for 1 minute or so, you can see the video in the NVR monitor.
  • If no image is shown, this indicates that the distance is too far.

The NVR antenna transmits a signal evenly. The IPCs should be parallel and at the same height for best results. The IPC antennae should be tangent with the range of transmission, as pictured above.

System Function 

Startup

NOTE: Make sure that the power supply voltage matches the requirements of the NVR and that the NVR ground is well grounded.

  • Malfunction or damage can occur following power interruption or improper voltage.

Before starting up, make sure that the display or monitor is connected to the video output of the device.

  1. Connect the power supply: the front panel power indicator will turn red.
  2. Turn on the rear panel power switch or tap the “On” button. The following screen will be displayed.

System Setup

The system is a standalone unit with an embedded Linux operating system in the NVR. To configure the operating system, a keyboard, mouse and monitor with HDMI or VGA input.

  1. Plug in the NVR box to a power source and turn it on.
  2. Plug mouse into the USB port on the back of the NVR box.
  3. Plug an HDMI or VGA connector into the back of the box and then into the monitor you want the camera footage to appear on (this must be a TV/monitor, not a laptop) (HDMI/VGA cables not included).
  4. Plug the IPC mains adapter into a power source, making sure you insert DC 12V end into the IPC making sure you screw the antenna on to the camera. Plug the ethernet into the back of the box and into the IPC. This will register the camera on your monitor screen. Once you see the camera working, this can be unplugged and input into another power source within the wifi range. The ethernet is no longer required for the camera that has just been setup.
  5. Repeat step four for each camera. Once all of these have been setup, they can be placed in different areas without an ethernet connection provided they are within range of your Wi-Fi network.

Login

Once the system has started up and initialised,
the login interface will display.

  • The factory default username is admin.
  • There is no password set by default and it is optional to set a password.
  • Once logged in, you can change the username and/or password.
  • Password can be composed of numbers, characters, operators and points, *, # within a maximum length of 10 characters.

Logout

Right-click on the shortcut menu and click the user to log off.

To set a logout automatically, you can set this in system > general settings. The system will automatically log off the system in 1 minute. Username and password will need to be re-entered when next using the system.

Restart

The operation interface is shown below. After the completion of the operation, click Finish to complete setup. If you want to return to the previous step, select “cancel”. The changes will not take effect.

Video Management

Note: Device specifications may differ from those shown in screenshots.

Search for device

Used to search all IPC devices in the same network segment.

Steps: right-click the system main interface. In the pop-up menu, click the “camera adding” sub-menu > “video management” > video management interface, and click “refresh” button to complete the search IPC device operation The figure looks like this:

Add device

Code matching: this function is mainly for matching the NVR with IPCs and sending NVR WiiFi account name and password to the IPC, so that IPC can automatically connect to the NVR. Ensure any bad channels are removed before carrying our this procedure.

Note: This is not necessary for the IPCs in the kit, only additional ones, should any be added later.

Method: first, connect the wireless camera to any LAN port of the NVR with the network cable in the accessory box. Proceed to the main menu (right click the mouse) -> video management -> code match and select yes. Please wait for the results. If it fails, the network cable has a poor connection: check and then click “Refresh”.

Fast adding: this function search all devices within the LAN and allocates IP addresses automatically.

Method: with NVR and IPC connected by network cable, right click in the main menu -> video management -> Fast adding.

Click search: the video management interface will show the information that the NVR normally communicated with IPC. Select fast adding: the system will automatically add the IPC which can work properly in idle channel and the monitor will display the IPC video signal. When working, the cable must not be unplugged. If the four channels are idle, the monitor will display IPC video signal when four cables are connected to the four IPCs after fast adding.

Note: After the fast adding, the camera and NVR must be connected through the network cable for the image to be displayed and cable transmission achieved.

Advanced setups

Multi-network segment search, repeated adding and smart adding are supported.

Right-click in the system main interface and select “Video Management” in the pop-up menu. In the open video management interface, click Advanced Setups, as shown below:


          

  • Using supporting multi-segment search function, the system can search the camera not in the same network segment as the NVR.
  • Using the Allowing Duplicate Add feature, the system will allow you to add the same camera to multiple channels.
  • With the Intelligent Addition feature, when the system detects an abnormality in the IP address camera is abnormal (including IP conflicts or IPC is not in the same network segment as the NVR), it will allocate a new legal IP address for the IP camera.
