Frequently Asked Questions - NVR-1600 Planet

How do I connect the NVR-1600 to my network?

Connect the NVR to your router or switch using an Ethernet cable. The NVR will obtain an IP address automatically via DHCP. Use the Planet Discovery Tool or check your router DHCP client list to find the IP address.

What cameras are compatible with the NVR-1600?

The NVR-1600 supports ONVIF-compliant IP cameras. Most mainstream brands work, but for best results use Planet cameras. Ensure cameras are set to same subnet and have DHCP enabled.

How do I set up recording?

Access the NVR web interface, go to Recording Schedule. Set continuous or motion-triggered recording per camera. Configure pre-record and post-record times as needed. Assign storage to each camera.

Can I view the NVR remotely?

Yes, enable Remote Access in Settings. Use the Planet mobile app (search 'Planet NVR' in app store) or web browser with the NVR's public IP and port forwarding (default HTTP port 80, RTSP 554).

How do I install a hard drive in the NVR-1600?

Power off the NVR and remove the cover. Slide a 3.5-inch SATA HDD (up to 10TB) into an empty bay. Secure with screws and reconnect power cables. Power on and format the drive via Storage Management in the interface.

What does the reset button do?

The reset button on the back panel restores the NVR to factory defaults. Press and hold for 10 seconds while powered on. This will delete all configurations including network settings and user accounts.

How can I export video footage?

In the Playback interface, select the desired time range and cameras. Click Export and choose a format (AVI or MP4). Insert a USB flash drive into the NVR's USB port to save directly, or download via browser.

Why is my NVR not detecting any cameras?

Ensure cameras are powered and on the same network. Verify ONVIF compatibility. Check if the camera IP is in the same subnet. You can also use the Camera Search tool in NVR interface to add them manually.

Does the NVR-1600 support audio recording?

Yes, if your cameras have built-in microphones. In camera settings, enable Audio Recording. Note that it increases storage usage. The NVR also has a line-in jack for external audio input.

How do I update the NVR firmware?

Download the latest firmware from Planet's support website. Log into NVR web interface, go to System > Upgrade. Upload the firmware file and follow on-screen instructions. Do not power off during upgrade.

7.1 Q&A

1. How to do when can't detect the hard disk?

Answer: If the system does not detect the hard disk, kindly please check the data line and the power line of hard disk whether are connected well, whether there is a problem about the interface of hard disk on the motherboard, or kindly please check hard disk whether is supported by the NVR in specification.

2. After modifying password, what can you do when you forget the password?

Answer: When the administrator forget password, kindly please get in touch with our technical staff. The easy to remember and relatively safe password is recommended when you set the password (if you have security needs, kindly please don't try to set simple passwords such as 123).

3. What results will maybe happen due to the heat when NVR is working?

Answer: It will produce some heat when NVR is working, kindly please put the NVR in the place where is safe and ventilated to stop the stability and life of the system be affected due to long-term high temperature of NVR.

4. Whether can use if i install the hard disk drive of computer to NVR?

Answer: If the hard disk you use can be supported by the system of NVR, it can work, but you need note, if the NVR begins to work, all data in your hard disk will loss.

1. Whether can playback when recording?

Answer: Yes.

1. Whether can remove a part of video recordings of hard disk of NVR?

Answer: Considering the security of document, you can't remove a part of video recording, if you need remove all video recordings, you can format the hard disk.

1. Why can't login to NVR client?

Answer: Kindly please check configuration of network connection whether is right, connection of RJ-45 interface whether is fine, if also can't work, kindly please check whether the user name and password are right.

1. Why can't find any recording information when playback?

Answer: Kindly please check whether the connection of data line of hard disk is good, whether the time of system is changed, whether the query condition that is not set to save video files. If also have the question after restarting, kindly please check whether the hard disk is damaged.

7.2 Maintenance

1. When NVR shutdowns, kindly please don't turn off the power switch directly, should use the shutdown button of system to avoid data loss or damage of the hard disk.
2. Ensure NVR away from high temperature heat source and place.
3. Remove the dust deposited in the body timing, keep the good ventilation around chassis, it is good for radiating.
4. About the audio/video signal line and RS-485 interfaces, kindly please don't hot swap, or these port will be damaged easily.
5. Check the HDD power cable and data cable of the NVR regularly and look whether they are aging.
6. Avoid the audio/video signal affected by other circuits and devices as much as possible, prevent the hard disk damaged by electrostatic or induced voltage.
