Wall Mounting NVR (Optional)

If wall-moun  ng of NVR case is desired, perform the following installa  on 
procedures. If not, proceed to Figure 10 for plug-in.
1. 

Place paper template on wall (a  er removing backing) in desired loca  on. 

NOTE: A level may be needed for installa  on.
2. 

Using a 1/8" bit and variable speed electric drill, make 4 holes in wall where 
template speci

fi

 es.

3. 

Install 4 anchors (included) into drilled holes.

4. 

Install Phillips screws (included) into anchors.

5. 

Be sure that screw head is approximately 1/8" away from wall face. This will 
allow the NVR case to lock into place.

6. 

Push NVR against wall so that screw heads 

fi

 t into protruding plas  c feet 

(See Figure 9) of the NVR. Then pull downward slightly to lock the case in 
place on wall.

Network Setup

Use the Networks sec  on to set up Local Area Networks (LAN1 & LAN2). 
To ensure recording of the IP Cameras to the NVR, verify network connec  vity. 
LAN1 should be connected to your exis  ng LAN network.
LAN2 is a private network for your IP cameras.

Figure 24. 

Storage Setup

The 2GIG NVR supports up to one (1) internal Hard Disk Drive (HDD). Prior 
to turning the NVR on, the HDD should be installed per Sec  on I. If the HDD 
is recognized, a  green light next to the storage icon will appear and the word 
“USABLE” beneath it. If this is a new HDD, you will need to format it.  
To FORMAT hard drive, click FORMAT.  This will take a few minutes. 

WARNING: 

Any informa  on previously stored on the HDD will be erased.

The size of the hard drive is shown in the window next to the hard drive icon. It will 
display how many GB’s have been used and how much is le   available.
If the HDD is shown as “NOT USABLE”,  the HDD is either unrecognized, not 
installed properly or it needs to be forma  ed.
To remove the HDD from the NVR, click the UNLOAD bu  on.  Power o

  NVR and 

remove the hard drive.
The NVR has four (4) PoE ports which is part of a private network which can be 
connected to IP cameras. IP cameras can also be connected through LAN. The 
number of IP cameras supported is four (4).

TROUBLESHOOTING

Q: I cannot see the IP Camera on my network

A: Make sure that the IP Camera is powered on. If using PoE for power ensure that the 
Ethernet cable is connected to the correct PoE port. If using a power supply ensure that the 
power is plugged into the wall.
On the back of the 2GIG-CAM-100W IP Camera, the Power LED should be solid red. On the 
2GIG-CAM-250P IP Camera, remove the cover to check that the power LED is solid red. Ensure 
that the network cable is connected to the router/switch on the Local Area Network. If using 
WPS, ensure that router supports WPS and is ac  ve when syncing wirelessly with the IP 
Camera. If using a tablet or smart phone to detect the IP Camera, make sure the mobile device 
is on the same network as the IP Camera(s).

 Q: I cannot see the NVR on my network

A: Make sure that the NVR is powered on. Verify the PWR LED is solid red. Ensure the Ethernet 
cable is connected to the LAN plug on the back of the NVR and not the PoE ports. Login 
to the NVR by using a VGA or HDMI supported monitor. Default Username and Password is 
“admin.” Once logged in, navigate to the QUICK SETUP menu and verify “Obtain an IP Address 
Automa  cally” is enabled. A valid IP address should appear that is part of the Local Area 
Network. If a valid IP Address does not appear, check network connec  on from the IP Camera 
to the router or if DHCP is not enabled on the Local Area Network, manually enter a valid IP 
Address.

Q: The image is not clear at night

A: Check the IP cameras’ lens for any smudges or moisture le   from 

fi

 ngerprints. Wipe down 

with a non-abrasive towel. Also make sure that no object is blocking the path of the IR Emi  er. 
Check the Sensor Se   ngs in the IP Camera to verify that the Day/Night op  on is set to Auto. 
The WDR feature of the IP camera may need to be disabled when the IR LEDs are ac  ve.

Q: I cannot see Video when I am away from my home network.

A: The ports needed to see the video from a mobile device is 30001 (control port) and 36000 
(forward port). Forward these ports in the router using the UDP/TCP protocol op  on. When 
registering the device on the 2GIG NVR app, the WAN IP address or DDNS name will be 
needed. The WAN IP Address can be found when logging into the router.

Q: Can I port forward the same control port mul

Ɵ

 ple 

Ɵ

 mes?

A: No. Each device needs to have each unique Control Port. If you have an NVR and mul  ple IP 
Cameras, each device will need its own control port which also needs to be forwarded in the 
router. The 2GIG Video app and  the 2GIG NVR app will use the WAN IP address and control 
ports to connect to your video devices from outside your network.

Q: I cannot add more than four cameras on the NVR.

A: Currently the 2GIG NVR only supports 4 IP Cameras.
