After setting the Embedded NVR, wait for a few minutes, analysis records will update. Click
Operation in the Menu of computer, input “cmd”, click “OK” to open a window. As the Run
Command Line Program shows.
 Run Command Line Program
Input “ping+ Domain name” then presses Enter, as the Diagram 0-1 DNS shows.

Diagram 0-1 DNS

The computer will analyze the domain name which is set in the NVR and return to the current IP,
as the picture shows underlined in red. When the IP correspond to the embedded NVR’s IP in
Public internet, it means the DDNS is setting right. If they are not, please check the network
connection of embedded NVR and DDNS information.

Port Mapping
Port mapping is mapping a port of outside web host’s IP address to a machine inside web, and
provide the service. When user connects to the port of the IP, the server will automatically map the
request to the corresponding machine inside LAN. With the function of port mapping, we can map
many ports of a machine’s IP address to different machines’ different ports inside web. The port
mapping can also have other special agent functions, like POP, SMTP, TELNET, etc. Theoretically,
it can provide more than sixty thousand ports. For example, if we want to map a web server which
has an IP address of 192.168.111.10, we just need to input the IP address and TCP port 80 into the
port mapping chart of the router. There are two ways to map the port: UPnP function automatically
map and modify the router’s port mapping chart by manual.

Manual port mapping

The first step
Connect the Embedded NVR to the Router, set the static IP.
The second step
Log in Router, enter into the configuration menu of Router, and set the menu. Then get to port, set
the IP distributed by the Embedded NVR, and set the rule of port mapping, add HTTP and TCP
port into mapping list.
Default access ports of Embedded NVR include HTTP port 80 and TCP port 8000, if the
ports are occupied by the other devices, please modify the default port of the Embedded NVR into
other vacant ports.
The third step
Input the public net IP address in the IE, and add the port number of the Embedded NVR you want
to access after the IP, for example: http://155.157.12.227:81. If you want to access by Client
Software, you can use the outer net TCP port directly.

Notice: for detail configuration setting, please refer to the user manual of Router.

8.1.2 PTZ Control

Right click and select PTZ in the corresponding channel. The following interface will pop up.

【Preset】Input the preset point and click the

preset button to call the function.

8.2 HDD Capacity Calculation

8.2.1 Reference of HDD Capacity Calculation

The first time install NVR, please check if the HDD has installed.
The capacity of the HDD
There is no limitation of capacity of single HDD to NVR, please choose the HDD according to the
saving time.
The choose of the Capacity
Computational formula of HDD Capacity:
Whole HDD Capacity = number of the channels × time in need (hour) × spent of HDD Capacity
per hour (MB/hour)
Similarly we can have the formula of recording time:
TotalHDDCapacity （MB）
Recording time（hour）
CapacityOc cupationpe rHour（MB/hr） AmountofCh annel

Note: 1GB=1000MB, not 1GiB=1024MiB, so HDD capacity shown in Base Configuration

under HDD Management less than real marked.
File size per hour (CBR).
Form 0-1 record file size

8.3 Common Faults

NVR startup failure or continuously reboot

Possible reasons:
1. The system has been damaged from a bad NVR update.
2. There is a problem with the NVR main board error, please contact supplier.
3. There is an HDD error. Replace faulty HDD.
Remote control does not work
Possible reasons:
1. Check for batteries in remote control, especially positive and Negative.
2. Check for batteries’ power.
3. Check if remote receiver is obscured.
3 Check if NVR address corresponds to the remote address.
NVR cannot control PTZ
Possible reasons:
1. RS-485 cable connection error, A, B ports are inversely connected;
2. PTZ decoder, protocol, baud rate, address are incorrect;
3. Parallel connect a 120Ω resistance to resolve signal reflex caused by too many PTZs on the
line.
