3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Initial Configuration

Upon first power-on, the NVR will guide you through an initial setup wizard. This wizard typically includes setting up the administrator password, network settings (DHCP or static IP), date and time, and scanning for connected IP cameras.

3.2 Live View

After setup, the NVR will display the live view of connected cameras on the HDMI output. You can switch between different camera views using the screen split options (1/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10) available through the NVR's interface.

3.3 Recording and Playback

Once an HDD is installed and configured, the NVR will begin recording based on your settings (e.g., continuous, motion detection, schedule). To play back recorded footage, access the playback menu, select the desired date, time, and camera, and initiate playback.

For remote access via a mobile app or web browser, ensure the NVR is connected to the internet and properly configured for remote viewing. This may involve port forwarding on your router or using a cloud service provided by Tiandy.
