1. Pre-Installation

1.1 Pre-Installation Safety Information

Before connecting your NVR (network video recorder) or cameras, please ensure the following safe installation
guidelines are adhered to.

• Do not place cords from the NVR where they can be pinched or stepped on.
• Do not place heavy objects on cords, or cover cords with rugs or carpet.
• Do not expose the NVR to excessive heat or moisture.
• Leave at least 50mm of space between the NVR and other objects to allow ample air circulation.
• Never immerse any component in water and do not spray cleaners or solvents on the cameras.
• Shut down and unplug the recorder before cleaning. When cleaning, use a damp, lint-free cloth only.
• Service of your NVR or surveillance cameras should only be handled by qualified technicians.

We recommend only using Surveillance-grade HDDs with your NVR, such as Seagate Skyhawk or WD Purple. These
HDDs are built to handle the heavy workload of 24/7 recording; standard HDDs may encounter performance issues.

1.2 Connecting your NVR and Cameras

The following section will detail connecting the NVR and surveillance cameras. It is recommended that cameras and
connections are tested before mounting. If there is no image, an error message or dark screen when first connecting
cameras, see Troubleshooting in Section 8 in this guide.

Refer to 1.3 NVR Rear Panel & Setup Diagram for full NVR & system diagrams. Refer to rear panel diagram Fig 1.1 or
your NVRs diagram/dimensions for input and output locations.

1. Connect the cameras to the NVR: Using CAT5e/CAT6 LAN cables, connect cameras to the built-in PoE Ports on
the back of the NVR. No additional power is required for the cameras.
2. Connect network switches to the NVR: Connect any network switches to the LAN ports on the back of the NVR.
NOTE: Connect to a LAN (Ethernet) port, NOT a PoE port.
3. Connect a display: Using an HDMI or VGA cable, connect a monitor or television (not included).
4. Connect the mouse: Connect the USB mouse to the rear USB port, saving the front port for easy USB backup.
5. Connect to your local network: Using the included Ethernet patch cable, connect to your switch or router.
6. Connect NVR power: Plug in the supplied AC power cord to the rear of the NVR.

Upon activating power, LED lights at the front of the NVR should turn on and the NVR will sound on startup. The NVR
will then run your surveillance user interface. Cameras will be detected automatically. This completes a successful first
boot of your surveillance system and you may begin configuring surveillance cameras.

2. Installing Cameras

2.1 Maximising Camera Effectiveness

To maximise the effectiveness of your surveillance cameras, follow these guidelines for camera mounting.

• Avoid pointing cameras directly in front of large objects, including walls & eaves. When infrared turns on in at
night or in low-light, it may be reflected back into the camera, resulting in an over-bright image.

• Avoid pointing cameras directly at light sources.

• Consider how the sunlight changes during the day. Mount your camera where sunlight has minimum impact.

• Consider your local and state laws before installing your cameras. This may affect where you point your surveillance
cameras.

• Avoid direct exposure to weather. If possible, mount under an eave or awning. While the cameras are water-
resistant, rain on the lens will affect image quality.

• Ensure the mounting surface thickness can support triple the weight of the camera.

• Do not mount the camera behind glass as this can reduce performance and usability of surveillance in both day &
night images.

• Light levels should be approximately the same between the camera and the targeted area.

• Do not place camera or cabling near high voltage wires or other sources of electrical interference.

2.2 Mounting Surveillance Cameras

1. Loosen the camera mount assembly by adjusting the locking screw with the included wrench.

2. Mark the screw position on the mounting surface.

3. Drill mounting holes for the wall plugs.

4. Drill a larger hole (approx. Ø10mm) so the camera cable can pass through the mounting surface.

5. Pull the cables through the building walls/ceiling from the camera to the recorder.

6. Connect the camera LAN cables, ensuring your camera is sealed away from rain and dust. If installing in an area
where moisture exposure is possible, seal power and video connections with self-amalgamating tape (not included).

7. Affix the camera to the mounting surface using the supplied screws and wall plugs.

8. Reassemble the camera, loosely locking the enclosure using the locking screw and wrench.

9. Connect the LAN cable back to the NVR and view the video feed.

10. Adjust your camera to the desired position.

11. Tighten the locking screw(s) to complete mounting.

NOTE: To adjust the angle of cameras with tri-axis mounting, simply loosen the locking screw(s) to adjust your camera’s
position, then tighten again once finished.

Each camera features a Main Stream for high quality streaming to the NVR; and a Sub Stream for low quality, low data
streaming to your remote view phone or tablet. You can configure both of these streams for each individual camera,
so you can choose to prioritise quality for important cameras and recording time for others.

14 NVR Quick Start Guide - Version: NVR-Q41120


3.2 Configuring Surveillance Cameras

3.2.2 Encode Setting Definitions

You can configure a number of settings to achieve greater image performance or increased record time, including:

Type: This dropdown menu switches between encode settings for Regular and MD (Motion Detection). Different
encode settings can be separately set for each type of recording mode (Standard camera streams will use Regular
settings, while camera streams with Motion Detection enabled will use MD settings).

Bit rate: The rate at which video data travels from the camera to the recorder, measured in Kilobits per second. This
directly determines the quality of the video stream and how much capacity footage will occupy on the hard drive.

Bit Rate Type: How bit rate is controlled. By setting CBR (constant bit rate), the camera bit rate is pre-defined and
camera quality is constant no matter what is being captured. By setting VBR (variable bit rate), the camera uses a
low bit rate when there is little scene activity and switches to a high bit rate when there is more activity. CBR ensures
constant quality, whilst VBR conserves hard drive capacity in times of low activity.

Compression: The compression technology used when encoding footage for storage on a hard drive. H.265 is the most
efficient at compressing footage for storage on your hard drive and will provide the most total record time.

Resolution: The camera’s image resolution; dictates the size of captured images. A high set resolution means larger
pictures captured by the camera each frame, which means higher required bit rate & hard drive storage capacity.

Frame Rate (FPS): Frames per second, or, the number of images that make up each second of video captured by the
camera. A high frame rate means more data per second is captured by the camera and sent to the recorder, this requires
a higher set bit rate & hard drive storage capacity.

Encode Menu
From the Main Menu select Management-Camera, then the Encode tab.
• In the Encode menu, select each camera channel and set desired encoding options (Fig. 3.15, see suggestions Fig. 3.16)
Snapshot Menu
From the Main Menu select Management-Camera, then select the Encode tab.
• In the Snapshot menu, you can configure the NVR to record image snapshots to be taken at Timing intervals,

5.2 Viewing Footage on a Computer

The following details instructions for viewing footage on Windows or Mac personal computers. Video conversion may
need to take place for viewing on other devices, eg: smartphones, tablets, etc.

Now that you have backed up footage to a USB in .DAV / .MP4 format, you are ready to view it on a personal computer.

• .DAV footage can be viewed using the Smart Player Lite program and cannot be played on mainstream media
players without file type conversion.
• Smart Player can export your videos to .AVI file type to be viewed using another media player such as Windows
Media Player & VLC Media Player
• .MP4 footage can be directly viewed using most players, including Windows Media Player & VLC Media Player

5.2.1 Viewing .DAV Video Files on PC with Smart Player Lite

Note: Smart Player Lite is automatically copied onto the USB device when performing footage backup from the NVR.

1. To view .DAV footage in Smart Player Lite, either click the Add Files button and select the file from your USB,
or drag & drop the file onto a selected play window.

2. Using the .DAV file, Smart Player Lite adds functionality similar to your NVR in footage playback, such as synchronous
playback of multiple channels.

3. Open the Options menu . Here, you can set the directories and formats for saved snapshots (.BMP/.JPG) and
videos (.DAV/.AVI). You can also adjust video aspect ratio and other options.

4. You can export clips by pressing the Record button once to begin recording, then again to end recording.

5. Similarly, you can take snapshots by pressing the Snapshot button once.

6. Intelligent Functions

NOTE: Before enabling IVS or AI features, ensure that you have configured IVS recording schedules (refer to
3.1.7 Configuring Recording Schedules), or these functions will not work.

There are 2 different ways AI can processed - By Camera or By Device. By Camera mean the AI processing takes
place in the camera itself. By Device means the recorder is processing information, not the camera. Please note that
only select cameras and recorders support AI functions.

AI lets your CCTV system go beyond surveillance, delivering advanced & powerful detection tools. When properly
configured, these functions can alert you to suspicious activity in real time via email/smartphone notification and let
you easily search through surveillance footage via event history.

Below will explain the different types of AI functions. Keep in mind that functions are camera and recorder specific.

• Face Detection – Face Detection will trigger whenever any face has been detected. Best suited for use
directly above entry doors.
• Face Recognition – Trigger events upon detecting specific pre-determined faces from a face database. Face
Detection must be used in conjunction with Face Recognition,
• Tripwire – A virtual line is drawn over the camera image. If it gets broken, an event will be triggered. Suitable
for both indoor and outdoor locations, with the camera mounted up high, looking down.
* Perimeter Protection can also be applied to Tripwire, distinguishing vehicles and cars.
• Intrusion – A virtual area is drawn over the image. If it gets broken, an event will be triggered. Suitable for both
indoor and outdoor locations, with the camera mounted up high, looking down.
* Perimeter Protection can also be applied to Intrusion, distinguishing vehicles and cars.
• Abandoned – A virtual area is drawn over the image. If an object gets left in the area and event will be triggered.
• Fast-Moving – A virtual area is drawn over the image. If a fast-moving object is detected, an event will be
triggered. Best suited for outdoor environments such as driveways.
• Crowd Gathering Estimation – A virtual area is drawn over the image. If a group of people is detected
entering the area, an event will be triggered.
• Missing – A virtual area is drawn over the image. If an object is missing in the area, an event will be triggered.
• Loitering - A virtual area is drawn over the image. If someone is standing in the area for a set amount of time
an event will be triggered. Best suited to a shop.
• People Counting – Used to count the number of people going through a specific area and providing statistics.
Best suited to a busy environment such as a train station, or shop entry.
• ANPR – Automatic License Plate Recognition – Used to trigger events after a number plate is detected.

To properly configure an IVS function, there are several sections of this manual to follow:

• 3.1.7 Configuring Recording Schedules to enable Motion Detection & IVS recording.
• 6.1 Mounting Surveillance Cameras to ensure cameras are optimally mounted to perform their function.
• 6.3 Motion Detection / 6.4 Tripwire & IVS Setup / 7.1 Face Detection & Recognition, depending on which
function(s) are being used.
• 7.4 AI Trigger Actions to set which Trigger Actions are activated in response to events.

6.1 Mounting Surveillance Cameras for AI Functions

When using AI features, correct camera mounting is crucial for AI triggers to be reliably received. Use the information
below to mount the cameras correctly.

6.1.1 Mounting for Face Detection/Recognition

When using face detection and/or face recognition, the camera will need to be dedicated to the task. It will need to be
focused on the entry point to the premises, not covering a wide area.

When installing the camera it is vital to ensure that scene is well lit. Avoid light coming from the back or sides of the
scene.

6.1.2 Mounting for ANPR

When using ANPR, the camera will need to be dedicated to the task. It will need to be focused on the entry point to
the premises, not covering a wide area. For example, it can be used in a driveway at an electric gate, or at a shopping
center with a boom gate.

The camera needs to get a clear image of the number plate, with the vehicle at a standstill.

At night, light emitted from the infrared illumination LEDs on the camera must reflect from the number plate and return
into the camera lens. If the angle is too sharp, the light will bounce away from the lens and the number plate will not
be readable. At the same time, you must ensure that the camera is mounted in a location where it is not subjected to
the direct beam from the vehicle headlights for long enough to get an image – halogen lights will overwhelm the image
sensor resulting in glare that cannot be corrected by the software highlight compensation.

6.1.4 Mounting for Tripwire, Intrusion, Missing, Abandoned, Fast Moving, and Loitering

When installing a camera for use with any of the above functions, the camera will need to positioned looking over the
area. When the trigger area is drawn, it should not be around the edges of the image, as this will cause inconsistent
triggers.
