On each startup, the disk icons will be shown on the top of the interface. You can view the number and status of each disk quickly and conveniently through these icons

1) No disk
2) Unavailable disk
3) R/W available disk

You can quickly and easily configure the device using the setup wizard. The wizard can also be skipped and will be shown in the next startup unless the “Enable wizard next time” was unticked. Skipping the wizard will automatically set the default password to “123456”

Wizard setup Enable wizard next time.

Click "Wizard Setup" to start. The setting steps are as follows:

① Admin settings. (Appears only one time – on the first system startup): Set your own admin password or use the default when you use the wizard for the first time (the default username is admin. skipping this part will set the default password to “123456”); It is highly advisable to change the default password.

Wizard Admin Password Setup Username New password 123456 Confirm password 123456 ✓ Display password □ Log In Automatically Pattern Lock □ Enable Enter Password Recovery Next Cancel

Click on “Password Recovery” to set questions and answers for password recovery. If you will ever forget the password – these questions will be used to restore the password to factory default. Please refer to Q4 in Appendix A FAQ for details. Skipping this step will force you to contact the technical support in case the password will be forgotten. There is no other way for the user to independently recover the admin password except of this method.

In this step you can also set a “Pattern” password that could be used for login into the device. It is simpler and more fluid to use the pattern lock when using a mouse and screen only (without a keyboard). If you wish to use pattern lock, enable it and click “edit” to set it as follows:

Professional models with 2 Ethernet ports: Some devices support 2 ethernet ports. The ports can work in 2 ways – “Multiple Address Setting” which means that the device will get 2 IP addresses and both addresses are always active. The second option is “Network fault tolerance” which means that only the primary ethernet port is active at a given time. If the primary network develops a fault – the device will automatically switch to the secondary ethernet port. Please refer to 11.1.1 TCP/IPv4 Configuration for additional information.

For “Multiple Address Setting” you will need to set 2 different addresses (Static or DHCP) and one DNS address. You can set the default ethernet port for DNS routing.

For “Network fault tolerance” you will need to set a single address (Static or DHCP) and DNS address. The 2 networks should be in the same IP Segment. You can also set the primary ethernet card.

4 Camera Management

4.1 Camera Signal (Applicable only for DVRs)

All of the DVRs sunning Ossia OS support 4in1 technology (AHD / CVI / TVI / Analog). The default setting for video signal is “Auto” which means that the DVR will automatically recognize the camera signal and device which technology it is using. In some cases, the auto recognition fails – which will cause the video to come up in black & white or not to come up at all. In such cases, you will have to set the signal manually.

① Click Start→Settings→Camera→Camera Signal
② Choose the relevant channel (By number) and set the signal to the required one (Choose out of Auto/CVI/TVI). CVBS signal will be recognized automatically in all conditions.

Camera	Analog/IP	✓	Signal	✓	Lite	✓
[A01]	Analog	✓	Auto	✓	Off	✓
[A02]	Analog	✓	Auto	✓	Off	✓
[A03]	Analog	✓	Auto	✓	Off	✓
[A04]	Analog	✓	Auto	✓	Off	✓

③ If the DVR support “Lite” technology, you will see a “lite” column in this window. Selection of Lite will change the recording resolution to “Lite” and change the FPS from Half-Real-Time to Real-Time.

4.1.1 Dynamic Hybrid (Supporting devices only)

Dynamic hybrid allows you to choose weather a channel will perform as an HD Analog channel or as an IP Channel. Each device supporting Dynamic Hybrid has its own capabilities and restrictions. Please refer to the device's product specs in order to learn more on your device capabilities.

Click "Add" to finalize the process.

Notes:

1) All the data stored on the HDD will be deleted.
2) Up to 2 RAIDs can be configured.

Setting a "Hot Spare"

In terms of RAID, “Hot Spare” is a backup disk that is ready for use in case that an active array disk has failed. In such case, the hot spare will replace the failed array disk automatically and rebuilt its data (a process that takes time). The “Hot spare” of the system is global meaning that it will be used for all RAIDs configured on the system.

In order to assign a disk to perform as “Hot Spare”, click on the 🔊 icon next to it and confirm the process. Repeat the process to change it back to normal state.

7.5.4 Array (Models supporting RAID only):

9.2 Motion Alarm

Motion Alarm: when motion appears in the specified area, it will trigger the motion alarm. Remember that the motion alarm is based on VMD which translates pixel color changes as motion, therefore might trigger false alarms.

You should enable and configure the motion detection for each of the cameras first and set the alarm handling to complete the motion alarm configuration.

9.2.1 Motion Configuration

① Click Start→Settings→Camera→Motion to access the following interface.

② Select the camera, enable the motion and set the sensitivity and duration of the alarm. Sensitivity: the higher the value is, the more sensitive it is to motion. You should adjust the value according to the practical conditions since the sensitivity is influenced by color and time (day or night).

Duration: it refers to the interval time between two motion detections. For instance, if the duration time is set to 10 seconds, once the system detects a motion, it will trigger the alarm and disregard all other motions for 10 seconds (specific to camera). If there is another motion detected during this period, it will be considered as continuous movement, otherwise it will be considered as a single motion.

③ To select the area of interest, click and drag the mouse cursor on camera image from the top left to the bottom right. You can set more than one motion area.

Q6. The IP cameras connected to the NVR's PoE port cannot be displayed automatically in the camera list, why?

a. Please check whether the channel assigned to the PoE port is occupied by another IP camera that was added through network.

- Take the 16 CH NVR with 8 PoE ports as an example. The resource distribution of the 16 CH IP cameras is shown in the picture below.

CH1

CH2

CH3

CH4

CH5

CH6

CH7

CH8

CH14

CH15

CH16

POE-1

POE-2

POE-3

POE-4

POE-5

POE-6

POE-7

POE-8

When you add IP cameras through network, the IP cameras will occupy the channels from CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4 and so forth. If you directly connect the IP cameras to the PoE ports of the NVR, the IP cameras will occupy the resource from CH9 to CH16 according to the number of the PoE port each IP camera is connecting to.

Supposing that 12 CH IP cameras have been added to the NVR through network and no IP camera has been directly connected to the PoE port. The 12 CH IP cameras occupy the 8 network resources from CH1 to CH8 and 4 PoE resources from CH9 to CH12 which are supposed to be occupied by connecting the IP cameras directly. In this situation, if you directly connect one IP camera to PoE5, PoE6, PoE7 or PoE8, the IP camera will be displayed in the camera list automatically; if you connect it to PoE1, PoE2, PoE3 or PoE4, it won’t be displayed in the camera list because it is conflicting with the manually added cameras; if you wish to connect it to PoE1, PoE2, PoE3 or PoE4, you should first delete the IP camera which occupies the PoE port resource and reconnect it to the PoE port.

● Take the 8 CH NVR with 8 PoE ports as another example. The resource distribution of the

8 CH IP cameras is shown in the picture below and the adding rules of the IP cameras are similar to the rules mentioned in the above. Please refer to the above for details.

CH1	CH2	CH3	CH4	CH5	CH6	CH7	CH8
POE-1	POE-2	POE-3	POE-4	POE-5	POE-6	POE-7	POE-8

b. Please make sure that the internal ethernet port and the IP camera are in the same network segment.

The internal ethernet port and the IP camera which directly connects to the PoE port through ONVIF protocol should be in the same network segment, or you will fail to add the IP camera. Log in the IP camera's web client and enable DHCP (obtain an IP address automatically); or manually change the IP address of the IP camera to make it in the same network segment with the internal ethernet port.

Q7. The IP camera connected to the PoE port of the NVR through ONVIF protocol. It is shown in the camera list, but there is no image output, why?

Please make sure the username and password of the IP camera are correct. The IP camera's username and password can be modified through the two ways mentioned as below.

Appendix B: Calculate Recording Capacity

The recording capacity is mainly up to the record resolution, record stream and bitrate. Different image quality parameters will take different disk capacities in equal times. The bigger the record resolution, record stream and record bitrate is, the more disk capacity is taken up in equal times. The calculation format of recording capacity is shown as below.

Recording Capacity(MB) = Bitrate(Kbps) ÷ 1024 ÷ 8 × 3600 × Recording hours per day × Record Storage Days × channel numbers

3600 means record for an hour (1TB=1024GB, 1GB=1024MB, 1MB=1024KB, 1Byte=8bit).

Record Bitrate (Kbps)	Used Space (MB/Hour)	Used Space (MB/Day)
10240	4500	108000
8192	3600	86400
6144	2700	64800

For instance, there is a 32CH device recording 24 hours per day and the record stores for 30 days. The device adopts dual stream recording. The main stream is 4096Kbps and the sub stream is 1024Kbps, then the total recording capacity is 49.45TB (39.56TB + 9.89TB). Considering the format loss of the disk is about 10% , the required disk capacity will be 55TB (49.45TB ÷ (1-10%)).

Appendix C: RAID Types.

RAID0: Splits data evenly across two or more disks, without parity information, redundancy, or fault tolerance.

• Minimum Disks: 2
- Data Striping
- No storage "loss"
- No Redundancy.

RAID1: Mirrors data between 2 disks, creating 50% fault tolerance.

• 2 Disks Exactly
• Data Mirroring
• 50% Storage "Loss" for RAID capability.
  • 1 out of the 2 disks can be damaged without loss of information.

RAID 5: 1n of each data packet is stored on the reserved disk (n=number of disks)

• Minimum Disks: 3
• Data Stripping With Parity
• 1 Disk Storage “Loss”.
• 1 Disk Failure Support.

RAID 6: 2n of each data packet is stored on the reserved disk (n=number of disks)

• Minimum Disks: 4
• Data Stripping With Parity
• 2 Disk Storage “Loss”.
• 2 Disk Failure Support.

RAID10: a combination of RAID0 and RAID1 (Data Stripping + Mirroring)

Features:

• Minimum Disks: 4 (Even Number)
• Data Stripping with Mirroring
- 50% Storage Usage.

In case there is a hot swap configured, it will automatically take place of a faulty disk in case of a fault.

For RAID to work properly - All disks must be in the same capacity.
