direct you to set Quick Configuration in five main steps. Follow the instructions of the Overview of wizard to complete system setup. Start System will lead you to “Start” from the drop-down menu of Configuration Utility to begin. To initial the configuration, please study the Overview of wizard first. Through five steps, the wizard will guide you to set up the system quickly. Click “Start” in Overview of wizard page to begin Quick Configuration.

to begin. Users need to adjust the settings in the Network Setup page in order to let NVR work properly within network. There are 2 methods to configure IP address 1. Obtain an IP address automatically (NVR Default) Obtain an available dynamic IP address assigned by a DHCP server. If this option is selected, NVR will automatically obtain an available dynamic IP address from the DHCP server once it connects to the network. 2. Specify an IP address. If there is no DHCP server existing in network environments, the static IP address will be given as192.168.1.245. It should be adaptable in most

address or change it in this page. However, it’s recommended setting different IP address of NVR if there is more than one NVR in the same LAN. To assign a static IP address to the NVR: 1. Select “Specify an IP address” 2. Enter the IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway IP Address and DNS server address. 3. If IP Address is changed, user needs to log out NVR and login in again. Click “Next” to proceed with the configuration. Server Settings Please select “Server Settings” from the drop-down menu of Configuration Utility to begin.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) simplifies the process of adding a NVR to a local area network. Once connected to LAN, the NVR will automatically appear on the internet. User can select to enable the function with UPnP and edit a sever name.  Password Settings Each NVR comes with a built-in “admin” account with password “admin.” It’s highly recommended to change the password upon the initial login. Enter a new password in the “New Password” field and enter it again in “Retype Password.”Since you confirm “Next,” the administrator password will be changed. Date &Time Please select “Date & Time” from the drop-down menu of Configuration Utility to begin. 1. Manual setting Use the drop-down list and configure the time manually. Select the Year, Month, Date and Time. Time setting will be effective when you click “Next.”

Select the time zone of your area and update the date and time of the Brickcom automatically with an NTP server. User also has an option to automatically adjust daylight saving time. Configure the time and date by verifying and adjusting current local time and daylight saving to avoid the following errors: Incorrect display time for playback videos.  Inconsistent display time of event logs and when they actually occur. Please enter the hostname of a valid NTP server to synchronize the server time with an Internet time server. NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol to synchronize the clocks of a computer system.

Utility to begin. If hard disk is not installed in NVR, the page will show “Disk doesn’t exist.” Once an available hard disk drive is inserted into the tray, Disk Information will show in Device Information and users can start to create new RAID Disk. 1. Disk Information Device Information provides details of the hard disk drive: HDD Model, Serial NO., Capacity and Status.

which indicates the hard disk drive is ready to be created. Please click “Create” to enter the window for building New RAID Disk and select the hard disk drive in the Free HDDs field.

click to recruit the hard disk drive into Assigned HDDs field. The selected hard disk drive in Assigned HDDs field will be marked in blue. Meanwhile, Target RAID Disk is ready to build RAID disk and it shows five types of disk configuration. The introduction of disk configuration is in the below table. Disk Configuration Big Drive (Linear) Big Drive is a collection of hard disk drives and does not provide any RAID protection. The data are written to the disks continuously. Performance (Raid0) RAID0is one larger volume with 2 or more hard disk drives. The data are written to the hard disk drives without any parity information. The total storage capacity is the sum of all hard disk drives. Fault Tolerant (Raid1) 2 hard disk drives are required to create a RAID1 array. RAID1 can provide disk mirroring by duplicating the data between two hard disk drives.

data are striped in all hard drives in a RAID5 array and the parity information is stored in each drive. If a hard disk drive fails, the array enters degraded mode. The data can be rebuilt from other member drives after installing a new drive to replace the failed one. Select a type of disk configuration, and please click “Apply” to execute building new RAID disk. Note: Don’t turn off the server or unplug any hard drives when RAID Disk is in building process. Please wait. The disk configuration is in a process.

The progress is in “Create swap” and is going to finish the disk building. Finally, the RAID disk building is complete. After the RAID disk is created, RAID List shows RAID Name and available storage devices. Device Information provides status of the hard drive: RAID Name, Level, Capacity, Status-Active, Action State, Background Activity and Progress-none.

If user is going to delete RAID disk, please refer to following description. In “Delete” option, user can remove or format RAID disk by selecting the RAID disk. In the table, RAID Name, RAID type, Capacity and Status are shown.  Remove Click “Remove” to delete RAID Disk. Once “Remove” is clicked, a window will pop up to ensure the execution. To delete RAID Disk, click “OK” to proceed. Please wait. The deletion is in a process.

RAID Disk is removed, the Status in Device information shows “Ready,” then users can go back to Create page to continue the new RAID level configuration. Note: Once you remove the disk and continually create it, the recorded video will be formatted.  Format Click “Format” to format the RAID disk, all recorded videos will be deleted. Once “Format” is clicked, a window will pop up to ensure the execution. To format RAID disk, click “OK” to continue. Hard disk drive is formatting. Please wait for formatting until 100%.

Detect: In this option, users are asked to enter IP Address and vendor. Then, click “Apply” to start adding camera.

After selecting a specific camera vender, username and password will be automatically filled in by vendor ‘s default information. Memorize modified username and password: NVR also can memorize username and password which is modified by users after users click “Apply” button. Then, the default username and password of that vendor will be replaced by the modified one. Next time when users add new camera of the specific vendor, username and password will be automatically filled in by new modified one. Note: Each vendor has its own default username and password. If there is any error occurred in entering the following information, the notification window will pop up as below. When an inappropriate address is entered, a window will pop up as below.

When an inappropriate password is entered, a window will pop up as below. After the detection is complete, the camera list shows connected camera with Camera Name, IP Address, Port, Vendor and Mode. All applied cameras will be shown in Camera List and if no more camera needs to be connected, please click “Next” to continue configuration.  Delete If any camera should be deleted from camera list, please click the column turning into blue and click “Delete.”
