3. Setup Guide

3.1 Physical Installation

Before powering on the system, ensure all components are connected correctly.

1. NVR Placement: Place the NVR in a secure, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
2. Camera Mounting: Mount the IP cameras in desired locations. The cameras feature an IP66 metal housing for waterproof and durable outdoor/indoor use, and a 3-axis mounting bracket for easy angle adjustment.

4. NVR Connections: Connect the NVR to a monitor (VGA or HDMI), a network router (for remote access), and the included USB mouse.
5. Power On: Connect the NVR to a power outlet using the provided power adapter. The system will boot up automatically.

3.2 Initial Configuration

Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the initial setup wizard, which typically includes:

• Setting up a strong password for the NVR.
• Configuring network settings (DHCP recommended for ease of use).
• Verifying camera connections and video feeds.
• Formatting the pre-installed 2TB HDD if prompted.

4. Operating the System

4.1 Live View and Playback

You can view live footage and review recordings directly from the NVR connected to a monitor, or remotely via the Sannce Sight application on your smartphone, tablet, or PC.

4.2 Recording and Storage

The system utilizes H.264+ video compression, which significantly improves compression efficiency and transmission without sacrificing video quality. Compared to H.264, H.264+ reduces network bandwidth and saves up to 50% more disk storage space. The NVR comes with a 2TB HDD for ample storage.

4.4 Night Vision

The cameras are equipped with infrared (IR) LEDs and an IR-Cut filter for automatic day/night mode switching, providing clear vision up to 30 meters (100 feet) in complete darkness.

4.5 Audio Recording

The cameras support 1-way audio recording, allowing you to capture sound from the camera's vicinity. Please note that 2-way audio is not supported.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your surveillance system.

• Camera Cleaning: Periodically clean the camera lenses with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt that may obstruct the view.
• Firmware Updates: Check the SANNCE official website or the Sannce Sight app for available firmware updates for your NVR and cameras. Keeping firmware updated ensures system stability and access to new features.
• Hard Drive Management: The 2TB HDD will automatically overwrite older footage when full. Regularly back up important recordings to an external storage device if needed.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect all cables for wear and tear, especially outdoor cables, to prevent signal loss or power issues.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your SANNCE surveillance system.

• No Video Signal / "Out of Range" on Monitor:
  • Ensure the monitor is correctly connected to the NVR via HDMI or VGA.
  • Check the monitor's input source.
  • If you recently changed the NVR's display resolution, it might be incompatible with your monitor. Try connecting to a different monitor or resetting the NVR's display settings (refer to the NVR's specific reset procedure if available).
  • Verify the NVR is powered on and its indicator lights are active.
• No Camera Image:
  • Ensure the Ethernet cable connecting the camera to the NVR is securely plugged in at both ends.
  • Check if the camera's indicator light (if any) is on, indicating it's receiving power.
  • Try connecting the camera to a different PoE port on the NVR.
  • Restart the NVR.
• Remote Access Not Working:
  • Ensure the NVR is connected to your router via an Ethernet cable and has internet access.
  • Verify that the Sannce Sight app is updated to the latest version.
  • Check your network settings on the NVR (e.g., DHCP enabled).
  • Ensure your mobile device has a stable internet connection.
  • If using a firewall, ensure the necessary ports for the NVR are open (refer to NVR network settings for port details).
• Motion Detection Alerts Not Received:
  • Verify that motion detection is enabled for the specific camera channels.
  • Check the motion detection sensitivity and area settings.
  • Ensure your email settings are correctly configured on the NVR.
  • Check your email's spam or junk folder.
