This quick start guide gives you the choice of configuring

your NVR to run in “AP” mode or “Station” mode. “AP” is the

default mode of operation and the recommended method of

configuration. In this mode the included cameras communicate di-

rectly with the NVR with no configuration required, however a cable

connection to your router is required for Internet access. In “Sta-

tion” mode the NVR and cameras connect to your Wi-Fi network.

This gives you the freedom of placing the NVR in different locations

without being tethered to your router. Wi-Fi booster devices can

also be used to extend the overall coverage allowing you to mount

the cameras that were once outside the range of the NVR.

During the wizard you will:

Please follow the instructions in the “Getting to know your NVR (blue

colour)” quick start guide before commencing the Setup Wizard.

Before proceeding to the Setup Wizard, you need to enable each check-

box for the equipment required. It’s recommended to have the NVR and

cameras close by during setup before doing a permanent installation.

AP Mode - If you would like to setup your NVR in this mode follow the

instructions on page 3. Please make sure the NVR is connected to your

router using the provided Ethernet cable and that each camera is con-

nected to the power adapter using the provided power splitter.

Station Mode - To setup in this mode follow the instructions on page 4.

Please make sure the NVR is connected to your router using the pro-

vided Ethernet cable. There is an additional Ethernet cable to connect

one of the cameras to your router. If you have additional Ethernet cables

on hand, use these to connect each camera to your router. Make sure

that each camera is connected to the power adapter using the provided

power splitter.

Click “Proceed” to continue.

Introduction 1

Wi-Fi Configuration - AP Mode 2

1. Click “Hide SSID” to hide the presence of the NVR from computer and

mobile devices over Wi-Fi. This is optional but it will increase the overall

security of your NVR if it is enabled.

2. Create a key that you are familiar with (it can be a mixture of numbers

and letters) or use the same key that you use to connect your comput-

er and mobile devices to your Wi-Fi network. Click the “abc” button to

change from lowercase to uppercase and click again to change to num-

ber input only. Uncheck “Show Key” if you want the key to be invisible.

3. Sometimes Wi-Fi products can conflict with each other or decrease

the available coverage if they share the same channel number. This can

relate to your own Wi-Fi router or other Wi-Fi products within your vicin-

ity. Check the settings for your Wi-Fi router to see what channel number

is used and select a different channel number for your NVR. If the Wi-Fi

coverage hasn’t improved or has deteriorated, try selecting a different

channel number.

4. Click the next button (triangle). Take note of the warning message

that appears then click “OK”. This will take you to the next step in the

Setup Wizard. All cameras will disconnect from the NVR momentarily.

Don’t worry this is normal. After a moment or two, all cameras will re-

connect to the NVR.

AP mode allows wire-

less communication

with the provided

cameras, however

the NVR must be con-

nected to your router

using the provided

Ethernet cable for an

Internet connection

and for remote ac-

cess using the Swan-

nView Link mobile

app and for Windows.

Click the dialogue

box to access the on-

screen keyboard. Click

the “abc” button to

change from lower-

case to uppercase and

click again to change

to number input only.

Wi-Fi Configuration - Station Mode

1. WIFI Mode - Click this to change to “Station” mode. Take note of the

warning message that appears then click “OK” to reboot the NVR. When

the NVR has rebooted you will see the introduction page again. Enable

each checkbox and click “Proceed” to continue.

2. SSID - The NVR and the camera(s) can now be configured to your Wi-

Fi network. Click the “Scan” button. Your Wi-Fi router will be displayed

(see above screenshot). You may also see other Wi-Fi routers within

your vicinity. Select your Wi-Fi router then click “OK”.

3. Key - For the “Key”, input the password for your Wi-Fi router. This will

be the same key that you use to connect your computer and mobile de-

vices to your Wi-Fi network. Click “Show Key” to display your password

so you confirm that you have input it correctly.

You’re now ready to sync the Wi-Fi settings to the camera(s). Continue

and follow the instructions below.

Wi-Fi Configuration - Station Mode (cont.)

4. Sync - Click the “Sync” button. The camera(s) connected to your rout-

er will be displayed (see above screenshot). Click the checkbox to select

the camera(s), click the “Sync” button then click “OK”.

5. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the LAN connection on the cam-

era(s). The camera(s) will momentarily disconnect then reconnect. If

you’re syncing a single camera at a time, connect the Ethernet cable

to the LAN connection, click the “Refresh” button and repeat the above

step until all cameras have been synced. When the last camera has

been synced to the NVR click the “Finish” button.

6. If required, you can disconnect the Ethernet cable from the NVR so it

can communicate with your Wi-Fi network. A green Wi-Fi icon will ap-

pear at the top right indicating the NVR’s Wi-Fi signal strength.

7. Click the next button (triangle) to continue.

Due to the variances in Wi-Fi networking technology and the loca-

tion that you are in, the overall playback quality may change when

running in “Station” mode.

1. Language - Choose a language you would like the system menu to be

displayed in. In addition to the default English selection, both Spanish

and French languages are available.

2. Video Standard - Select the correct video standard for your country.

USA, Canada and some Latin American countries use NTSC. UK, Aus-

tralia and New Zealand use PAL.

3. Time Zone - Select a time zone relevant to your region.

4. Resolution - Select a resolution that is suitable for your HDTV or Mon-

itor. 1920 x 1080 resolution provides you with the best display quality.

UID & QR Code - This is a unique ID number for your NVR. You will use

this later when configuring the mobile app and Windows software. You

can access this anytime by clicking the “Setup Wizard” button on the

Menu Bar.

7. Click the next button (triangle) to continue.

General Configuration 5

1. System Time - The system date and time should be set correctly ac-

cording to the time zone that you have selected. If the date and time

are incorrect, adjust accordingly. Please note, each time you boot up

or restart the NVR, the correct date and time will be applied using NTP

(Network Time Protocol) automatically.

If Daylight Savings does not apply to your locale, you can skip this step.

2. DST Setting - Click this to adjust settings for Daylight Savings. This

option allows you to configure your NVR to automatically adjust its time

for Daylight Savings in your time zone. You can set when daylight saving

time starts and ends, for example, 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of a par-

ticular month. Click the “Enable DST” checkbox then adjust the settings

accordingly. Click “Apply” then “OK” to save changes made. This will

take you back to the “System Time” screen.

3. Click the next button (triangle) to continue.

System Time & Daylight Savings 6

Hard Drive/Configure Your Email 7

1. Format - As the hard drive inside the NVR is pre-formatted, you can

skip this step.

2. Click the next button (triangle) to continue.

The “HDD Size” displayed in the above screenshot is not indicative

of the hard drive space available. This will vary according to the

hard drive size and type that is included with your NVR.

Configure an email account to receive email alerts when events occur.

Go to (www.gmail.com) to create an account then input the details here.

1. Populate each field as shown in the above screenshot (the email ad-

dresses shown in the above screenshot are examples only, don’t use

these). Click “Show Password” to display the password.

2. Click “Test” to verify that the information is correct then click “OK”.

If you receive an error message, check that you have input your email

address and password correctly and check your cables and connections.

3. Click the next button (triangle) to continue.

1. This bit is really easy. You just have to give your NVR a new security

code (recommended) or you can use the default code which is “12345”.

You can change the security code for both “admin” and “guest”. The

guest login can be used to provide access to your NVR using the Swan-

nView Link Windows software without the ability to change settings or

save video recordings.

2. Select “Enable Password” if you would like an extra layer of authen-

tication on your NVR. Each time you access the main menu, you will be

prompted for your NVR’s security code. Enter a new security code then

enter it again to confirm.

3. Click “Do not run wizard on start-up” to disable the Setup Wizard

when you start your NVR and click “Finish” to complete the Setup Wiz-

ard.
