Frequently Asked Questions - MTR08IPOE MOTOROLA

How do I connect the VCR to my TV?

Use the included RF coaxial cable to connect the VCR's 'RF OUT' to your TV's antenna input. Alternatively, use RCA cables for better quality by connecting 'Video Out' and 'Audio Out' to corresponding TV inputs.

Why is the playback picture snowy or noisy?

Check the tracking adjustment. Press the 'Tracking' buttons on the remote or VCR to reduce noise. Also ensure the VCR heads are clean (see cleaning procedure). A dirty tape may also cause issues.

How do I clean the VCR heads?

Use a VHS head cleaning cassette. Insert it and play for 10-15 seconds. Do not use alcohol or cotton swabs as they may damage the heads. Repeat if needed but not excessively.

Can I record from a cable box?

Yes. Connect the cable box output to the VCR's 'Antenna In' or use RCA inputs. Then set the VCR to record the desired channel. Note that many cable boxes require a remote control to change channels.

What does 'EP' and 'SP' mean?

SP (Standard Play) records at normal speed for best quality, giving 2 hours on a standard T-120 tape. EP (Extended Play) records at slower speed for 4 hours but with slightly lower quality.

How do I set the clock and timer recording?

Press 'Menu' and navigate to 'Clock Set'. Use number keys to set date and time. For timer recording, press 'Timer Record', set start/end time, channel, and speed (SP/EP). Ensure the VCR is in standby mode.

Why does the tape eject immediately after inserting?

The tape may be at its end or protect tab is missing. Try a different tape. If persists, the loading mechanism may be faulty; consult a technician.

Can I copy or edit tapes with this VCR?

Yes, using the audio/video outputs to a second VCR or recording device. Connect the source VCR's outputs to this VCR's inputs (if it has inputs) or use the source's output to a recorder.

What should I do if the VCR stops playing or recording suddenly?

Check for overheating. Ensure ventilation slots are open. Unplug for 30 minutes. Also inspect the tape for damage. If problem continues, the unit may need servicing.

Is the remote control universal?

No, it is specific to this model. If lost or broken, you may use a universal remote that supports Motorola VCR codes. Refer to the universal remote manual for programming.

If TOE is not enabled, it shall be compatible mode. Then the network fault tolerance cannot be selected and set up.

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 enter the network addresses; select one Ethernet port as the primary card and then click “Apply” to save the settings.

Appendix A FAQ

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.

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” 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 11.1.2 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

CH2

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.  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 (enter the correct username and password of the IP camera in the popup window and then click “OK”).  ② Go to the live preview interface and then click in the preview window of the IP camera to edit the IP camera's username and password.

Q8. The system cannot record, why?

a. Make sure the HDD was formatted prior to use. b. The record schedule has not been set in manual record mode. Please refer to 7.3.2 Record Schedule Configuration for details. c. Maybe HDD is full and thus the NVR is not able to record. Check HDD information from Disk Management and if required, please enable the recycle function (please see 7.1.2 Advanced Configuration for details). d. There is no disk but cameras in the disk group, so please add at least one disk to the group. Refer to 7.5.2 Storage Mode Configuration for details. e. The HDD could have gone bad. Please change another one.

Q9. Fail to access the NVR remotely through IE.

a. Please make sure the IE version is IE8 or above. b. Please check whether the PC has enabled the firewall or installed the antivirus software. Please try to access the NVR again after you disable the firewall and stop the antivirus software. c. Allow & block list may have been set in Account and Authority setting. The PC of which the IP address is in the black list or out of the white list cannot access the NVR remotely.

Q10. ActiveX control cannot be downloaded. What can I do?

a. IE browser blocks ActiveX control. Please do setup as per the steps mentioned below. ① Open IE browser. Click → Internet Options.  ② Select Security→Custom Level. Refer to Fig 10-1. ③ Enable all the sub options under “ActiveX controls and plug-ins”. Refer to Fig 10-2. ④ Then click “OK” to finish setup. b. Other plug-ins or anti-virus may block ActiveX. Please disable or do the required settings.   Fig 10-1 Fig 10-2

Q11. How to play the backup file?

a. Recorded video backed up by NVR: insert the USB device in which the recorded video backup files is saved to the USB interface of the PC and then open the USB device path. The recorded video can be backed up in the private format and AVI format by NVR. \- If you select the private format when backing up recorded video by NVR, a RPAS compression package will be backed up to the USB device automatically along with the recorded video data. Uncompress the “RPAS.zip” and then click “RPAS.exe” to set up RPAS.

Recorded video backed up through web. The recorded video can only be backed up with AVI format through web. The recorded video can be backed up to PC and played by the video player which supports this format.  Fig 11-1  Fig 11-2

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
4096	1800	43200
3072	1350	32400
2048	900	21600
1024	450	10800
768	337.5	8100
512	225	5400
384	168.75	4050
256	112.5	2700

The table below shows the recording capacity requirements for record storage in 30 days.

Record Bitrate (Kbps)	Recording Capacity(TB)
	1CH	4CH	8CH	16CH	32CH	64CH
10240	3.09	12.36	24.72	49.44	98.88	197.76
8192	2.48	9.89	19.78	39.56	79.11	158.21
6144	1.86	7.42	14.84	29.67	59.33	118.66
4096	1.24	4.95	9.89	19.78	39.56	79.11
3072	0.93	3.71	7.42	14.84	29.67	59.33
2048	0.62	2.48	4.95	9.89	19.78	39.56
1024	0.31	1.24	2.48	4.95	9.89	19.78
768	0.24	0.93	1.86	3.71	7.42	14.84
512	0.16	0.62	1.24	2.48	4.95	9.89
384	0.12	0.47	0.93	1.86	3.71	7.42
256	0.08	0.31	0.62	1.24	2.48	4.95

For instance, there is a 32CH NVR recording 24 hours per day and the record stores for 30 days. The NVR 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%)).
