3. Setup Guide
3.1 NVR Connection
- Connect the NVR to a power source using the provided power adapter.
- Connect the NVR to a monitor via HDMI or VGA cable for local viewing and configuration.
- Connect the NVR to your network router using an Ethernet cable for remote access.
- Connect the USB mouse to the NVR for navigation.
3.2 Camera Installation and Connection
The cameras utilize Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation with a single network cable for both power and data.
- Mount each camera in your desired location using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the camera has a clear line of sight and is within range of an Ethernet cable connection to the NVR or a PoE switch connected to the NVR.
- Connect each camera to an available PoE port on the NVR using an Ethernet cable. If using a separate PoE switch, connect the cameras to the switch and the switch to the NVR's network port.
- Once connected, the NVR should automatically detect and configure the cameras.
3.3 Mobile App Setup for Remote Viewing
To view your security system remotely on a smartphone or tablet:
- Download the designated smartphone application (e.g., "RXCamView" as indicated in some product materials) from your device's app store (available for iPhone and Android).
- Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to add your NVR system. This typically involves scanning the QR code displayed on the NVR's monitor or entering the NVR's serial number (S/N).
- Once added, you can begin live viewing and recording from your mobile device.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Live View and Recording
After setup, you can view live feeds and manage recordings through the NVR's local interface (connected monitor) or remotely via the mobile app or PC software. The system supports widescreen display and continuous recording.
4.2 AI Human & Vehicle Detection
The system features advanced AI motion detection that differentiates between humans and vehicles, reducing false alarms. When a person or vehicle is detected, the system can send real-time alert notifications via email, FTP, or the mobile app.

4.3 Full-time Color Night Vision
The cameras are equipped with full-time color night vision technology, providing high-quality color video even in low-light conditions. This offers more detail and contrast compared to traditional black and white infrared night vision.

4.4 Video Compression (H.265+)
The system utilizes H.265+ video compression technology, which significantly reduces file sizes without compromising video quality. This results in lower storage requirements, reduced bandwidth usage, and longer recording times compared to older H.264 compression.

5. Storage Management
The NVR comes with a pre-installed 20TB hard drive. It supports up to 8 SATA hard drives, with each drive capable of holding up to 10TB, for a maximum total storage capacity of 80TB. This allows for extensive video recording archives.
To manage storage, access the NVR's menu via the connected monitor. You can configure recording schedules, overwrite old footage, and check the status of installed hard drives.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your security system:
- Firmware Updates: Periodically check the GW Security website for firmware updates for your NVR and cameras. Keeping firmware updated can improve performance, add new features, and enhance security.
- Lens Cleaning: Gently clean camera lenses with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust, dirt, or smudges that may affect image clarity. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect all power and Ethernet cables for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Secure or replace damaged cables promptly.
- Hard Drive Health: Monitor the health of your NVR's hard drives through the system settings. Replace failing drives to prevent data loss.
- Environmental Considerations: Ensure cameras are free from obstructions and protected from extreme weather conditions where possible.
