At startup, the system performs a basic system check and runs an initial loading sequence. After a few moments, the system loads a live display view.

5.6 STEP 6: Create a Secure Password

The first time you power up your system, you will be asked to create a new 6 character password.

  1. Click OK. Wait for the firmware update to complete. The system will restart once the firmware has been upgraded.

FLIR DNR2184 - STEP 6: Create a Secure Password - 1

WARNING

DO NOT POWER OFF THE NVR OR DISCONNECT THE POWER ADAPTER DURING FIRM WARE INSTALLATION

5.8 Step 8: Verify Camera Image

  • Power on the cameras, and then verify the camera video quality before mounting the cameras to a permanent location.
  • Mount the cameras under a sheltered location. Always verify the outdoor rating of your camera before installing it in a permanent location.

FLIR DNR2184 - Step 8: Verify Camera Image - 1

CAUTION

Cameras differ in terms of installation or mounting instructions. Please see the documentation that came with your camera(s) for specific installation instructions.

5.8.1 Camera Installation Tips

  • Mount the camera where the lens is away from direct and intense sunlight.
  • Plan your cable wiring so that it does not interfere with power lines or telephone lines.
  • Ensure that the camera wiring is not exposed or easily cut.
  • Mount the camera in an area that is visible, but out of reach.
  • Avoid pointing the camera at a glass window to see outside, as this may result in a poor image caused by glare from indoor / outdoor lighting conditions.
  • Adjust the camera angle so that it covers an area with high traffic.
  • In "high-risk" locations, have multiple cameras point in the same area. This provides camera redundancy if a vandal attempts to damage the camera.

5.9 Step 9: Set the Time

- Set the system time and date for accurate video time stamps. Videos with inaccurate times may not be valid as surveillance evidence.

NOTE

5.13 Connecting Cameras to the Local Area Network (LAN)

For flexibility, you may also connect network cameras to the same Local Area Network (LAN) as the NVR. This is accomplished by connecting the cameras to the same router as the NVR.

For these installations, an external PoE switch (sold separately) or power adapter (sold separately) must be used to provide power to each network camera. You also must add the cameras on the NVR before they will show a picture on the monitor or be recorded by the NVR.

Follow the steps below to connect the cameras to the NVR over the LAN.
