Installing Cameras

Installing Cable-Safe Mounting Bracket

Decide if the camera is to be wall or ceiling mounted and if cable will be fed through mounting surface hidden directly behind the bracket or fed through the side of the bracket so cable is exposed. Mark area where you will drill your hole. The Cable-Safe Mounting Bracket has three Adjusting Points. 1) Rotates Bracket 360° relative to mounting surface, 2) Adjusts bracket hinge 180° and 3) Rotates camera body 360° to level image.

Step 1: Select the position for the camera and drill your hole for the cable. Feed cable through mounting surface. Mount bracket to surface.

Step 2: Aim camera at target and using Adjusting Points 1 and 2 in tandem position camera. Tighten Ring and Thumb Screw.

Step 3: Rotate camera body using Adjusting Point 3 to the proper view angle making sure the Camera Shield is always on top and parallel to the ground so the image is level in the Live View Screen. See "Camera Orientation" Info box. Tighten screw.

Step 4: Attach proper length of Ethernet cable and run from camera to NVR location.

Step 5: Check camera orientation via the Live View screen. Adjust as required.

Adding and Connecting Cameras

Before you start

Connect network cameras via the PoE interfaces. If there are three fisheye cameras, connect them to any PoE interfaces.

Protocol over Ethernet

The Protocol Over Ethernet (PoE) interface allows electrical power and data to safely pass from Ethernet cables to connected network cameras. This NVR allows up to 16 direct network PoE camera connections. If the PoE interface is disabled, online network cameras can be connected.

To add cameras with the PoE function, enter the Camera Management interface: Menu > Camera > Camera.

NOTE: Fisheye cameras have five channels. When connected to the NVR, the first fisheye channel will be added automatically. The four other channels can be added manually.

Configuring NAT

Before you start

To utilize Universal Plug and Play (UPnP™) on the NVR, the UPnP™ function must first be enabled on the router connected to the NVR. When the network working mode of device is set as multi-address, the Default Route of the device should be in the same network segment as that of the LAN IP address of the router.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP ^™ ) allows the NVR to seamlessly discover the presence of other devices on the network and establish functional network services for data sharing, communications, and more. Use the UPnP ^™ function to enable the fast connection of the device to the WAN via a router without port mapping.

To configure, access the Network Settings interface: Menu > Configuration > Network.

1. Select NAT tab.
2. Check Enable UPnP.
3. Select Mapping Type.

NOTE: For Auto Mapping, simply choose Auto in the Mapping Type dropdown list and click Apply. If Auto is selected, the Port Mapping items are read-only, and the external ports will be set by the router automatically.

NOTE: For Manual mapping, choose Manual in the Mapping Type dropdown list. Click the button to activate the External Port Settings dialog box. Configure the port settings. If Manual is selected, you can edit the external port on your demand.

1. Click Apply.
2. Click Refresh to get the latest status of the port mapping.

Before you start

Make sure the router supports the configuration of internal port and external port in the interface of Forwarding.

NOTE: The RTSP Port number should be 554 or between 1024 and 65535 while the other port numbers should be between 1 and 65535. The value for each must be different.
