connector.
Insert the disk tray(s) into the NVR
and push to the end.
Turn on the server and a beep indicates

1. Connect to NVRPRO8
After installing NVR Search and NVR Player you can connect to the monitoring
page using one of the following two options:
a) NVR Search
If you click “
Connect
” or double click the selected NVR list, the IE browser
pops up automatically.
b) IE Browser
Log into the system by entering the IP address in the IE browser.
Note
:
There are two methods to set network:
Obtain an IP address automatically (NVR Default)
Obtain an available dynamic IP address - assigned by a DHCP server. If this option is
selected the NVRPRO automatically obtains an available dynamic IP address from the
DHCP server once it connects to the network.
Specify an IP address
If there is no DHCP server exists in the network environment, the static IP address is
given as
192.168.1.245
. This should be OK in most networking environments and you
can choose to keep the default IP address or change it in this page. However, it’s
recommended that you set different NVRPRO IP addresses if there is more than one
NVR in the same LAN.

c) Enter a User Name and Password
Log into the NVR with the default administrator account (user name: admin,
password: admin).
