Frequently Asked Questions - AVR-HN504P4 Avycon

How do I add IP cameras to the NVR?

Go to Camera Management > Add Camera. Use Quickly Add to automatically discover cameras on the same network, or Add Manually by entering the IP address, port, username, and password. Ensure the camera supports ONVIF and is in the same network segment.

How can I reset the admin password if I forget it?

In the login window, click Edit Security Question. Answer the security question correctly to reset the admin password to the default 123456. If you forget the answer, contact your dealer for assistance.

Why is there no video output on the monitor?

Check that the monitor supports at least 1280x1024 resolution. Verify HDMI/VGA cables are securely connected. Ensure the NVR is powered on and the correct input source is selected on the monitor. If using VGA, the NVR may auto-detect a lower resolution.

How do I enable recording?

First, format the hard drive in Disk Management. Then go to Record > Mode Settings. Choose either Auto mode (e.g., Always Record) or Manual mode and configure schedules. Ensure the record stream parameters are set correctly.

The NVR can't detect my hard drive. What should I do?

Check that the SATA cable and power cable are securely connected. Verify the HDD is compatible (see Appendix C of the manual). Try a different SATA port. If the NVR uses an external power adapter, ensure it provides sufficient power (12V 2A).

Can I access the NVR remotely from my smartphone?

Yes. Download the NVMS app (or compatible platform) on your iOS or Android device. Enable NAT and UPnP in the NVR's network settings. Scan the QR code shown in the wizard or manually enter the device's IP/DDNS address to connect.

How do I back up recorded video?

Insert a USB flash drive or external HDD into the NVR. Go to Search and Backup, select the desired records by time or event, and click Backup. You can choose private format (with RPAS player) or AVI format for direct playback on a PC.

What should I do if the remote controller doesn't work?

Check the batteries are inserted with correct polarity and have sufficient charge. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the NVR's IR sensor. Point the remote directly at the NVR. If issues persist, try a new remote or contact support.

Why can't I see all camera channels in live view?

Go to Display Modes and select a screen layout (e.g., 4, 6, 9). Ensure cameras are added and online. Check that the NVR's bandwidth limit is not exceeded (remaining bandwidth shown in Camera Management). Lower the bitrate of some cameras if necessary.

How do I configure motion detection?

Navigate to Alarm > Motion Alarm. Select a camera, check Enable Motion Detection, and adjust the sensitivity and area grid. Then set alarm actions like recording, pop-up video, or email notification. Apply changes to save.

⑤ Click “Apply” to save the settings.

The configuration steps of the above mentioned alarm linkages are as follows.

Duration: it refers to the interval time between the adjacent motion detections. For instance, if the duration time is set to 10 seconds, once the system detects a motion, it will go to alarm and would not detect any other motion (specific to camera) in 10 seconds. 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.

Record: check it and then the “Trigger Record” window will pop up automatically (you can also click “Configure” button to pop up the window). Select camera on the left side and then click to set the camera as the trigger camera. Select trigger camera on the right side and then click to cancel the trigger camera. Click “OK” button to save the settings. The trigger cameras will record automatically when the sensor alarm is triggered.

Snapshot: check it and then the “Trigger Snapshot” window will pop up automatically. Configure the trigger camera in the window. The trigger cameras will snap automatically when the sensor alarm is triggered.

Push: check it and choose NO or OFF. If it is ON, the system will send messages when the sensor alarm is triggered.

Alarm-out: check it and then the “Trigger Alarm-out” window will pop up automatically. Configure the trigger alarm-out in the window. The system will trigger the alarm-out automatically when the sensor alarm is triggered. You need to set the delay time and the schedule of the alarm outputs. See 9.5.1 Alarm-out for details.

Preset: check it and then the "Trigger Preset" window will pop up automatically. Configure the

trigger preset of each camera. To add presets, please see 6.2 Preset Setting for details.

Buzzer: if enabled, the system will begin to buzz when the sensor alarm is triggered. To set the delay time of the buzzer, please see 9.5.4 Buzzer for details.

Pop-up Video: After camera setting, the system will pop up the corresponding video automatically when the sensor alarm is triggered. To set the duration time of the video, please see 9.5.3 Display for details.

Pop-up Message Box: if enabled, the system will pop up the corresponding alarm message box automatically when the sensor alarm is triggered. To set the duration time of the message box, please see 9.5.3 Display for details.

E-mail: if enabled, the system will send an e-mail when the sensor alarm is triggered. Before you enable the email, please configure the recipient's e-mail address first (see 11.1.5 E-mail Configuration for details).

If the NVR has two network ports or above, you can select the network work pattern as required. Network Fault Tolerance and Multiple Address Setting are available.

Network Fault Tolerance:

The two network ports will be bound to one IP address if you select the “Network Fault Tolerance” pattern. There are many advantages of this work pattern: 1. increase the bandwidth; 2. form a network redundant array to share the load. When a failure happens to one network port, the other port will take over the entire load immediately. The takeover process is seamless and the network service will not be broken off.

Refer to the figure as shown below. If “Network Fault Tolerance” is selected, check “Obtain an IPv4 address automatically”, “Obtain an IPv6 address automatically” and “Obtain DNS automatically” to get the network addresses automatically, or manually input the network addresses; select one Ethernet port as the primary card and then click “Apply” button to save the settings.

Q1. Why can't I find the HDD?

a. Please check the power and SATA data cables of the HDD to make sure they are well connected.
b. For some NVRs with the 1U or small 1U case, the power of the adapter may be not enough for operating them. Please use the power adaptor supplied along with the NVR.
c. Please make sure the HDDs are compatible with the NVR. See Appendix C Compatible Device List for details.
d. The HDD could have gone bad. Change a new one.

Q2. Why are there no images output in some or all of the camera windows?

a. Please make sure the resolutions of the cameras are supported by the NVR.
b. Please make sure the network cables of the IP camera and NVR are both connected properly and the network parameters are set correctly.
c. Please make sure the network and the switch both work normally.

Q3. The screen has no output after booting the NVR normally.

a. Please make sure the screen, HDMI or VGA cables are good and well connected.
b. Please make sure the screen supports the resolution of 1280*1024, 1920*1080 or 3840*2160 (4K*2K). The NVR cannot self-adapt to the screen of which the resolution is lower than 1280*1024, and then the screen will remind you that the screen resolution is not supported by the NVR or just have no display. Please change a screen at 1280*1024, 1920*1080 or 3840*2160 resolution before booting the NVR.

Q4. Forget the passwords?

a. The password for admin can be reset through "Edit Security Question" function.

Click “Edit Security Question” button in the login window and then enter the corresponding answer of the selected question in the popup window, the password for admin will be reset to 123456 by default. If you forget the answer of the question, this way will be invalid, please contact your dealer for help.

b. The passwords of other users can be reset by admin, please refer to 10.1.2 Edit User for details.

Q5. The NVR cannot add up to the maximum number of IP cameras?

Take the 16 CH NVR as an example. Some 16 CH NVR support a maximum of 120Mbps bandwidth input (please take the real device for standard). Refer to the picture below. The remaining bandwidth should be larger than the bandwidth of the IP camera you want to add, or you would fail to add the IP camera. You should lower the added cameras' bitrate to release the bandwidth. It is recommended to add cameras by "Quickly Add" for batch adding.

Q6. The IP camera which connects to the PoE port of the NVR cannot be displayed automatically in the camera list, why?

a. Please check whether the resource of the PoE port is occupied by another IP camera that is 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

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 resource from CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4... by the adding sequence; 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 by showing resource conflict; if you just need to connect it to PoE1, PoE2, PoE3 or PoE4, you should first delete the IP camera which occupies the PoE port resource and then 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 which directly connects to the PoE port through ONVIF protocol 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 then 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.

c. Check whether the number of the added IP camera is the maximum.

If the number of the added IP camera is the maximum, the system will show you the message that the IP camera number is beyond the maximum when you directly connect another IP camera to the available PoE port and thus you will fail to add the IP camera.

Q7. The IP camera which directly connects to the PoE port of the NVR through ONVIF protocol 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.

① Click “Edit Camera” in the Camera module of the setup panel to go to the interface as shown below. Click to modify the username and password of the IP camera (input the correct username and password of the IP camera in the popup window and then click “OK” button).

Appendix B Calculate Recording Capacity

The recording capacity is mainly up to the record resolution, record stream and bitrate. Different image quality parameters decide different disk capacity occupation 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/H)	Used Space (MB/D)
10240	4500	108000
8192	3600	86400
6144	2700	64800
