Network Connections
Connect a network PoE switch to the camera network port at the rear of the
MAXPRO NVR. Connect your cameras to the network PoE switch with CAT5 Ethernet cables.
Optionally, connect the client workstation network port to your client workstation network via a
network switch. This allows remote access to your NVR. The default client workstation network IP
address must be changed to an available static IP address on your client workstation network.
Monitor(s)
The MAXPRO NVR XE comes with built-in graphics and four types of monitor outputs.
The unit supports connection of a single monitor using one of the outputs.
The recommended resolution for your monitor is 1280 x 1024 pixels (minimum 1024 x 768) and
display colors of at least 32 bit.
Dual Network Configuration
Contact your dealer to purchase Honeywell and third-party IP and analog cameras and encoder.
Power Up the Unit
Note
Honeywell recommends using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for the NVR unit, the
camera network switch, and the cameras to ensure that the NVR can continue to record
video during a power outage or during transient power events. If you need to monitor
video during a power outage, consider a UPS for the monitor as well.
