Before start using SDVR/ NVR, there are some basic connection and setting. We use SDVR-9128IC as example, and the following steps can apply to our other recorder models.
Step 1
Connect video cable (VGA or HDMI or BNC), mouse, and network cable, then plug the power adapter.
Note: network cable MUST connect to router which is using with IP cameras, so they must in the same LAN.
Step 2
Default input is all analog channel, if you need to connect IP camera, right-click mouse -> Main Menu -> Switch -> ChannelType, choose suitable input type, click OK then restart recorder.
Note:
1. if you were prompted at system login windows, default user name is admin, password is no password.
2. different recorders provide different input mode, picture is for reference only.
Step 3
After restart, you can see “+” in the middle of IP camera channel, click it to auto search all available IP cameras in LAN. To add IP camera, click the blue + then click Add, click Close back to main screen.
