Operating Instructions
Viewing Live Feed and Recordings
You can view live camera feeds and recorded footage through the connected monitor or remotely via the IP PRO mobile application and desktop software.
- Local Viewing: Use the USB mouse to navigate the NVR interface on the connected monitor. Select cameras, review recordings, and adjust settings.
- Remote Viewing: Open the IP PRO app on your smartphone or tablet, or the desktop software on your computer (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows). You can access live video, check recordings, and receive notifications from anywhere with an internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data).

Recording Modes and Detection
The system offers flexible recording options and intelligent detection features to optimize storage and alert you to important events.
- Continuous Recording: The system can record 24/7, overwriting the oldest footage when the 1TB HDD is full. H.265+ video compression saves up to 80% on storage capacity without compromising quality.
- Scheduled Recording: Set specific times for recording based on your needs.
- Motion Detection: Configure the system to record only when motion is detected. You can define specific detection zones to avoid unnecessary alerts.
- Human Detection (AI): Utilizing artificial intelligence, the system can differentiate between human movement and other sources of motion (e.g., animals, vegetation, light changes), significantly reducing false alarms.
- Notifications: Receive immediate notifications on your mobile app when motion or human detection is triggered.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Nivian surveillance system.
- Camera Cleaning: Periodically clean the camera lenses with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or water spots that may affect image clarity. Do not use harsh chemicals.
- Firmware Updates: Check the Nivian website or the IP PRO app for available firmware updates for your NVR and cameras. Keeping firmware updated can improve performance, add features, and enhance security.
- Cable Connections: Ensure all power and network cables are securely connected and free from damage.
- Hard Drive Management: The 1TB HDD provides ample storage. The system automatically overwrites old footage. If you require longer retention, consider backing up important recordings or expanding storage (if supported by the NVR model).
- Environmental Protection: While cameras are IP66 rated for outdoor use, ensure they are not exposed to extreme conditions beyond their operating temperature range (-20°C to 50°C).
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter. For more complex problems, please contact Nivian technical support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No image on monitor/app | Power issue, loose cable, camera out of WiFi range, NVR not connected to network. | Check power connections for NVR and cameras. Ensure HDMI/VGA cable is secure. Verify NVR is connected to the internet. Relocate camera closer to NVR or use repeater function. |
| Poor image quality | Dirty lens, low light, network interference, camera resolution settings. | Clean camera lens. Ensure adequate lighting for night vision. Check WiFi signal strength. Verify camera resolution is set to 2K/3MP in NVR settings. |
| No remote access via app | NVR not connected to internet, incorrect app settings, firewall issues. | Ensure NVR is connected to your router (wired or WiFi). Check app's device list and ensure NVR is online. Verify router firewall settings are not blocking access. |
| Frequent false alarms | Motion detection too sensitive, non-human movement triggering alerts. | Adjust motion detection sensitivity in NVR/app settings. Utilize human detection feature to filter out non-human triggers. Define specific detection zones to exclude areas with constant movement (e.g., trees swaying). |
| Recordings not saving | HDD full, HDD not initialized, recording schedule incorrect. | Check HDD status in NVR settings. Ensure HDD is initialized and recognized. Verify recording schedule is correctly configured for continuous, motion, or scheduled recording. |
