Cybersecurity Recommendations
 Use a strong password. At least 8 characters or a combination of characters, numbers, and
upper and lower case letters should be used in your password.
 Set the password expiration time and regularly change the passwords of your devices to
ensure that only authorized users can access the system. (recommended time is 90 days).
 The system will automatically check the latest firmware version once a day. Once the
latest version is checked, you’d better update it to ensure the system is current with the latest
security patches and fixes.
 It is recommended to change the service default ports (like HTTP-80, HTTPS-443, etc.) to
reduce the risk of outsiders being able to access.
 It is recommended to set the firewall of your router. But note that some important ports
cannot be closed (like HTTP port, HTTPS port, Data Port).
 It is not recommended to expose the device to the public network. When it is necessary to
be exposed to the public network, please set the external hardware firewall and the
corresponding firewall policy.
 It is not recommended to use the v1 and v2 functions of SNMP.
 In order to enhance the security of WEB client access, please create a TLS certificate to
enable HTTPS.
 Use black and white list to filter the IP address. This will prevent everyone, except those
specified IP addresses from accessing the system.
 If you add multiple users, please limit functions of guest accounts.
 If you enable UPnP, it will automatically try to forward ports in your router or modem. It
is really very convenient for users, but this will increase the risk of data leakage when the
system automatically forwards ports. Disabling UPnP is recommended when the function is not
used in real applications.
 Check the log. If you want to know whether your device has been accessed by
unauthorized users or not, you can check the log. The system log will show you which IP
addresses were used to log in your system and what was accessed.

not be shown.
Resolution: the higher the resolution is, the clearer the image is.
FPS: the higher the frame rate is, the more fluency the video is. However, more storage room
will be taken up.
Bitrate Type: CBR and VBR are optional. CBR means that no matter how much change is seen
in the video scene, the compression bitrate will be kept constant. VBR means that the
compression bitrate will be adjusted according scene changes. For example, for scenes that do
not have much movement, the bitrate will be kept at a lower value. This will help to optimize
the network bandwidth.
Quality: When VBR is selected, you need to choose image quality. The higher the image
quality you choose, the more bitrate will be required.
Max Bitrate: 32Kbps ~10240Kbps are optional.
GOP: group of pictures.

camera and then set up the alarm handling of each camera.
Click StartSettingsAlarmSensor to go to the following interface.

Select the alarm type (NO or NC) according to trigger type of the sensor.
Enable the sensor alarm of each camera and select the schedule.
Check the ―Duration‖, ―Record‖, ―Snapshot‖, ―Push‖, ―Alarm-out‖ and ―Preset‖ and
enable or disable the ―Buzzer‖, ―Pop-up Video‖, ―Pop-up Message Box‖ and ―E-mail‖ as
required.
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 the ―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‖ 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.

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 11.5.4 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 11.5.3 Display for details.

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.

Drag the camera image to set the motion area. You can set more than one motion area.

 Multiple Ethernet Ports Setting

If the NVR has two network ports or above, you can select the network work pattern as
required.

TOE: Some models may support TOE mode. It is a technology for improving the network
transmission speed. Please enable it according to the actual network situation. If TOE is
enabled, it shall be high speed mode. Then multiple address setting or network fault tolerance
can be chosen and configured. 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‖, and ―Obtain DNS automatically‖ to get the network addresses
automatically, or manually enter IPv4/IPv6(if IPv6 is enabled) address select one Ethernet port

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. After you correctly answer all questions, you can
reset the password for admin. 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 13.1.2 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.

191
Appendix NVR User Manual

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.

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.

192
Appendix NVR User Manual

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.

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).

Appendix E Personal Data Collection Description

There are five functions concerning the personal data collection under the network modules of the
device, including PPPoE, DDNS, E-mail, 802.1x and FTP. In the device, these functions are used by
the client-end of the device to communicate with the server of the customer’s company (or service
supplier). As the client-end, our device needs to keep the authentication credentials (username and
password) used to connect the server. These credentials can be configured through the Web client of
the device and then sent to the device. The process of the data transmission and storage are as
follows.

Personal Data
