4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Initial Configuration

Upon first power-up, the NVR will guide you through an initial setup wizard to set up language, time zone, network settings, and password. It is crucial to set a strong password for security.

4.2 Live View and Playback

• Live View: On the NVR's monitor, you can view live feeds from all connected cameras. Use the mouse to navigate the interface.
• Playback: Access the playback menu to review recorded footage. You can search by date, time, and event type (e.g., motion detection).

4.3 Motion Detection and Alerts

The system features intelligent motion tracking, capable of distinguishing human movement from other environmental factors. When motion is detected, the system can trigger various alerts:

• Push Notifications: Receive instant app notifications on your smartphone.
• Email Alerts: Get real-time email alerts with snapshots of the event.
• Sound Warning: The NVR can activate a sound warning (buzzer).
