SECTION 2
Initial NVR Setup
Use this section to setup the initial configuration of your NVR. Refer to the other sections of this manual for procedures for using the
extensive features of the system.
2.1 Using the setup Wizard
Important guidelines for using the Wizard:
•
Password
: When logging into the recorder for the first time, create a “
Strong
” administrator user password. Follow the
on-screen instructions.
NOTE
: There is no factory default password for this device.
•
Date and Time
: Set the time zone, date and time correctly. All recorded video is time stamped.
•
Storage - HDD
: In the HDD Management wizard, if a new recorder is shipped with a pre-configured HDD, nothing needs to
be done with it in this window. If you installed an HDD or replaced the HDD, that HDD needs to be initialized by the recorder
before it can be used to record data. Select (check the box for) that HDD, then click
Init
to initialize the disk.
NOTE
:
Init
will
erase all data from the disk and can take several minutes to complete. When the initialization is complete, click
Next
to
continue.
•
Network Settings
: By default, the recorder acquires it’s network settings using DHCP (for dynamic network settings).
Depending on the configuration of the network, these settings may change. To improve remote access to the recorder,
Observint recommends that you configure the NVR with fixed network settings. To easily change the DHCP acquired network
settings to fixed network settings, un-check the
Enable DHCP
option in the network setup menu, and then click
Apply
.
1. Power on the NVR using the
POWER
button on the front panel. Normally, an Alibi logo splash screen appears on the system
Main monitor and the NVR front panel display within about 2 minutes.
2. Power on the monitor(s).
