Setup

1. NVR and Camera Placement

NVR Placement: Position the NVR in a central location, ideally near your internet router and a power outlet. Ensure it is in a secure, dry, and well-ventilated area.

Camera Placement: Mount cameras in desired surveillance areas. The cameras have an IP66 rating, making them suitable for outdoor use. Consider areas with clear lines of sight and within the WiFi range of the NVR. The system supports a repeater function to extend the range up to 300m.

2. Hardware Connections

1. Install Hard Drive (Optional): If your NVR did not come with a pre-installed hard drive, open the NVR casing and install a compatible 3.5-inch SATA hard drive for local recording.
2. Connect NVR: Connect the NVR to a power source using the provided power adapter. Connect a monitor or TV to the NVR's HDMI output for local viewing. Connect the USB mouse to the NVR.
3. Connect Cameras: Plug each camera into its respective power adapter and connect to a power outlet. The cameras will automatically attempt to connect to the NVR via WiFi.
4. Network Connection: For remote access, connect the NVR to your internet router using the provided Ethernet cable. Alternatively, the NVR can connect to your WiFi network.

3. EseeCloud App Setup

1. Download App: Download the 'EseeCloud' app from your smartphone's app store (available for Android and iOS).
2. Register Account: Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to register a new account.
3. Add Device: Use the in-app wizard to add your NVR system. You may need to scan a QR code displayed on your NVR's monitor or enter the device ID manually.
4. Verify Connection: Once added, you should see the live feeds from your cameras within the app.

4. WiFi Signal Repetition

The system features a signal repetition function to extend the wireless range of your cameras. If a camera is too far from the NVR, it can connect through another camera that is closer to the NVR, effectively boosting the signal. This allows for flexible placement up to 250m.

Operating Instructions

1. Live View and Playback

Access live camera feeds via the connected HDMI monitor or through the EseeCloud app on your mobile device. The app allows you to view multiple cameras simultaneously. To review recorded footage, navigate to the playback section within the NVR interface or the EseeCloud app, select the desired date and time, and choose the camera feed.

2. Recording Modes

Your NVR supports various recording modes:

• Continuous Recording: Records 24/7, overwriting the oldest footage when the hard drive is full.
• Event Recording: Records only when motion is detected. This saves storage space and makes reviewing events easier.
• Scheduled Recording: Configure specific times for continuous or event-based recording.

The system uses H.265+ video compression to optimize storage space while maintaining video quality.

3. AI Human Detection

The cameras are equipped with AI human detection to differentiate human movement from other motion sources (e.g., animals, swaying branches), reducing false alarms. You can configure detection zones and sensitivity settings for each camera through the NVR interface or the EseeCloud app.

4. Dual Night Vision

The cameras offer two night vision modes:

• Infrared (IR) Mode: Provides black and white video in low-light conditions, offering discreet surveillance.
• White LED Mode: Activates built-in white LEDs to illuminate the area, providing full-color video even in complete darkness. This mode can also act as a deterrent.

You can switch between these modes or set them to activate automatically based on ambient light conditions.

5. Two-Way Audio

Each camera includes a built-in microphone and speaker, enabling two-way audio communication. Through the EseeCloud app, you can listen to audio from the camera's location and speak through the camera's speaker.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the camera lenses with a soft, damp cloth to ensure clear image quality. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Firmware Updates: Check the EseeCloud app or NIVIAN's official website periodically for firmware updates. Keeping your system updated ensures optimal performance and security.
• Hard Drive Management: If using a local hard drive, ensure it has sufficient space. The system will automatically overwrite old footage, but regular checks are recommended.
• Power Supply: Ensure all power adapters are securely connected and free from damage.
