Introduction

Welcome to your new Honeywell MAXPRO

®

 NVR PE.   

 This guide helps you set up the NVR right out of the box. Before 

installing your NVR, please read this guide carefully.

Unpack

Check that the items received match those listed on the order form and packing slip. The packing box should include, in 
addition to your NVR unit and this guide:

Note

Other peripheral hardware (owner supplied) will also be needed for your installation, such as cameras, network PoE 
switch for the camera network, network switch for a client workstation network, a monitor, and an optional keyboard 
controller.

Install the Hardware

Mount the MAXPRO NVR Unit in a Rack   

1.

Remove the bezel (if you ordered this option and it is installed) from the front of the unit by turning the bezel key lock 
clockwise, and then pulling it away from the unit.

2.

Mount the NVR with the supplied rail hardware kit. The kit allows the MAXPRO NVR PE unit to slide in and out of the 
rack it is mounted in and provides rear support for the chassis. Refer to the installation instructions included with the 
rail hardware kit.

3.

Replace the bezel (if supplied) on the front of the unit. Insert the right side of the bezel into the tabs on the right handle 
on the front plate of the unit and then align the bezel key lock with the left handle. Slide the left side of the bezel into 
place. Turn the bezel key lock counterclockwise to secure the bezel.

Connect the Hardware

Connect up to 32 IP cameras to a camera 
network PoE switch and the switch to the 
LAN1 camera network port.

Connect a local monitor 
to one of the monitor 
outputs.

Connect supplied keyboard 
and mouse before powering 
up the NVR.

Network Connections   

Connect a network PoE switch to the camera network port at the rear of the 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 PE 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 local monitor can be used to configure the NVR, however 
continuous local video monitoring is not recommended. 

The recommended resolution for your monitor is 1280 × 1024 pixels (minimum 1024 x 768) and display of at least 32 bit.

Dual Network Configuration

Power Up the Unit

Note

Honeywell recommends using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for the MAXPRO NVR PE unit, the camera 
network switch, and the cameras to ensure that the NVR can continue to record video during a power outage. If you 
need to monitor video during a power outage, consider a UPS for the monitor as well. 

1.

Before powering up the NVR, turn on camera(s) and other devices connected to the NVR. 

2.

Press the power button on the front of the NVR.
