Hardware Overview Front View Power Button Drive LED Drive LED Network Activity LED Power Button: Press once to power on the NVR. Press and hold the button until the LED begins to blink to power down the NVR. Drive LEDs: These LEDs will be solid BLUE when the drives are connected but inactive. The LEDs will blink when the drives are being accessed, formatted or synchronized. They will illuminate AMBER if a drive has failed. Activity LED: The LED will be solid BLUE when there is an Ethernet connection. It will blink to indicate LAN traffic.

Use this lock to secure the front panel of the NVR. The panel can be unlocked with the provided key for initial installation. Rear Panel (Connections) Fan Drive Eject Lever Drive Eject Lever Cable Holder Security Cable Slot Power Receptacle USB Connector Reset Button Gigabit Ethernet Port Power Receptacle: The supplied power adapter connects here. Gigabit Ethernet Port: The Gigabit Ethernet port connects the NVR to a network. Drive Eject Lever: Use these levers to eject the hard drives. The front panel must be removed before ejecting the drives. Make sure to reset the ejector before installing the new hard drive.

A pinhole button located beside the Ethernet socket is used to reset the system or restore the factory default settings. To reset, simply press and hold the button until the power LED flashes. USB Connector: A UPS can be used as an emergency power supply for the NVR. The UPS can use the USB interface to notify the NVR to perform a proper shutdown before battery power runs out. Security Cable Slot: An external lock can be affixed to this slot to prevent theft. Fan: The NVR will adjust the system temperature automatically by turning the fan on/off. Cable Holder: Holds the power cable to ensure a safe operating environment. Note: After resetting the unit, you will still be able to access the recorded data on your hard drives.

Hardware Installation Install the Hard Drives:

Please install a SATA HDD before turning on the NVR. Use the key to unlock the faceplate from the bottom of the NVR.

Slide the faceplate up until it unlatches from the device.

Once the faceplate is unlatched, pull it off the device, exposing the drive bays. Insert a 3.5” SATA hard drive into an available drive bay. Make sure to align the drive connector to the SATA connector on the bottom edge inside the drive bay of the NVR. Gently push the drive in until it connects. When a drive is inserted properly, you will feel it “seat” into the connector. Some hard drives that are thin or oddly shaped may need to be guided carefully into position. If a drive is not properly seated, the LED will not illuminate after powering on the device. Optional: When installing an optional second HDD, please repeat Step 4. To avoid data incompatibility in RAID 1 operation, useidentical SATA drives from the same manufacturer. Formatted drive capacity for RAID 1 operation is dependant on the HDD with the lowest capacity.

Attach the faceplate to the front of the device. Lock the faceplate to secure the HDDs. Connect the Ethernet Cable Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the NVR. Connect the opposite end of this cable to a Gigabit Ethernet LAN port of a router or a switch, or directly to a computer. Connect the UPS (Optional) If you have a Universal Power Supply (UPS) that you would like to use with the NVR, you may connect it before powering the unit on.

1. Connect the USB cable from the UPS to

the port on the back of the NVR.

2. Connect the power cable to the UPS.

(Ensure that the UPS is plugged in and receiving power.) Note: To turn off the NVR, simply push the power button for 5 seconds. The power LED will blink and the NVR will turn off after a moment. Attach the External Power Supply Attach the external power supply to the DC power receptacle located on the NVR’s rear panel (labeled DC12V) and connect the other end to an AC power outlet. Turn on the Power and Initialize the HDD Push the power button at the front panel. The LED on the NVR will begin to blink. When you have a proper connection, wait about 60 seconds, the NVR power LED will stay steady and the HDD and network LEDs will begin to blink. The NVR will initialize the HDD to default settings. To change HDD settings, please visit the SETUP page in the web-based configuration utility. Supported Cameras DNS-722-4: Supports all D-Link network cameras. Includes support for auto-discovery, and up to 1.3 megapixel resolution. DNS-726-4: Supports known-brand network cameras including D-Link, Axis, Panasonic, and SONY. Specific feature support depends on software.

Step 1: Make sure the NVR is connected to a network via a router or a switch, or directly connected to PC. Step 2: Turn on the computer and insert the D-Link DNS-722-4/DNS-726-4 Autorun CD into the CD-ROM drive.
