4.1.2 Network Configuration
Network Card Mode:
switch Single Address Mode or Double Address Mode, NVR will reboot after
successful switching. (Note: Models with POE only support Double Address Mode)
Single Address Mode:
Binds both ports to a single IP address. Selecting this mode can increase
the bandwidth and form a redundant array of network cards, load sharing, one of the network port
fails, the other network port immediately take over the load, the service will not be interrupted.
Double Address Mode:
The two network ports are set up with different IP addresses, gateways,
etc., and work independently of each other. The LAN port accessing the external network should
be set as the default route.
Network Card Select:
Toggles the display of network parameter information of LAN1 or LAN2,
this option is grayed out and unavailable in single NIC mode.
DHCP IPv4:
If you connect to a router that allows DHCP, check this box, the router will
automatically assign all IPv4 protocol network parameters to the NVR, after unchecking the box, IP,
Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS will be automatically changed back to the parameters that were set
when you unchecked the box the last time (Note: Currently the program does not support DHCP
IPv6)
If you connect to a router allows to use DHCP, check the
DHCP
box. The router will assign
automatically all the network parameters for your NVR. Unless the network is manually addressed
below parameters:
IP Address
: The IP address identifies the NVR in the network. It consists of four groups of
numbers between 0 to 255, separated by periods. For example, “192.168.001.100”.
23
Subnet Mask
: Subnet mask is a network parameter which defines a range of IP addresses that
can be used in a network. If IP address is like a street where you live then subnet mask is like a
neighborhood. The subnet address also consists of four groups of numbers, separated by periods.
For example, “255.255.000.000”.
Gateway
: This address allows the NVR to access the Internet. The format of the
Gateway
address is the same as the
IP Address
. For example, “192.168.001.001”.
IPv6 Address:
Input the IPv6 address you got from your ISP. It consists of eight groups of
numbers between 0 and FFFF separated by colons.
For example, "ABCD:EF01:2345:6789:ABCD:EF01:2345:6789"
Subnet Prefix Length:
subnet prefix length.
IPv6 Gateway:
IPv6 gateway IP address of the network where the device is located.
DNS1/DNS2
: DNS1 is the primary DNS server and DNS2 is a backup DNS server. Usually, it
should be enough just to enter the DNS1 server address.
Default Route:
In dual-address mode, set the LAN port accessing the external network as the
default route. (Note: This option is grayed out in Single Address Mode)
24
Port
Web:
This is the port that you will use to log in remotely to the NVR (e.g. using the Web Client). If
the default port 80 is already taken by other applications, please change it.
Client:
This is the port that the NVR will use to send information through (e.g. using the mobile
app). If the default port 9000 is already taken by other applications, please change it.
RTSP:
This is the port that the NVR will be allowed to transmit real-time streaming to other device
(e.g. using a streaming Media player).
Https:
This is the port that you will use to log in remotely to the NVR by browsers with https
protocol.
Internal Port:
Used for LAN connection.
External Port:
Used for WAN / Internet connection.
UPNP:
If you want to log in remotely to the NVR using Web Client, you need to complete the port
forwarding in your router. Enable this option if your router supports the UPnP. In this case, you do
not need to configure manually port forwarding on your router. If your router does not support
UPnP, make sure the port forwarding is completed manually in your router.
Mapping Strategy:
If you want the port randomly distributed by the router UPNP server, choose
“
Auto
”; If you want to manually forwarded the port, choose “
Manual
”.

5.2.1 Video Encoding
This menu allows you to configure the recording video or network transmission picture quality.
Generally, Mainstream defines the recording video quality which will be saved in the HDD;
Substream defines the video quality which is being viewed via remote access, for example web
client & CMS; Mobilestream defines the video quality which is being viewed via remote access via
mobile devices.
Resolution
: This parameter defines how large the recorded image will be.
FPS
: This parameter defines the number of frames per second the NVR will record.
Video Encode Type / Encoding Format:
For IP camera only. NVR supports H.264 IP camera
only. If you choose H.265, live view screen of the IP channel will display “Decoding Failed”.
Bitrate Control / Encoding Mode
: Select the bitrate level. For a simple scene, such as a gray
wall is suitable constant bitrate (
CBR
). For more complex scene, such as a busy street is suitable
variable bitrate (
VBR
).
Bitrate Mode / Config Mode:
If you want to set the bitrate by yourself, then choose
User-defined
mode. If you want to select the predefined bitrate, choose
Predefined
mode.
Bitrate:
This parameter corresponds to the speed of data transfer that the NVR will use to record
video. Recordings that are encoded at higher bitrates, will be of better quality.
71
Video Quality: Available for VBR only, you can select the recording quality that will define the
variable bitrate used, from lowest to highest.
Audio: If your camera has built-in microphone or external audio input device, you're able to record
the audio streaming together with the video streaming. Click the checkbox to disable or enable.
Make sure you have already enabled the Audio streaming in 5.2.2. Audio Encoding if you want to
record the audio streaming.
I Frame Interval: This configures the number of partial frames that occur between full frames
(I-Frames) in the video stream. For example, in a scene where a door opens and a person walks
through, only the movements of the door and the person are stored. The stationary background
that occurs in the previous partial frames are not encoded. As the I-Frame increases, the number
of partial frames also increases. Higher values are only recommended on networks with high
reliability, otherwise leave the default selection.
ETR: If your camera supports ETR function, it allows you to set independent video streaming for
normal and alarm triggered recording.
For example, you can decrease the frame rate and bitrate to reduce the recording file size in
normal recording, and increase the frame rate and bitrate to have clearer and more fluent camera
images when an alarm event occurs. The ETR options are available for mainstream only.

3.
To see AI applications for different scenarios using Face Recognition results, see 7.1.9.5
Face Attendance, 7.1.9.1 Face Search, and 7.1.9.4 Repeat Visitors.
5.4.2.1 Model Configuration
To choose the face algorithm model. Auto select recognition model is recommended. Face
Recognition is enabled by default.
The face AI algorithm mainly includes two parts: Detection and Recognition.
119
➔ Recognition is mostly used to extract, analyze and compare the face features. Recognition
capability is possessed by the NVR and some of IP cameras.
To fully implement the face detection and recognition function, the system will select a face
recognition model automatically when you use the face AI function at the first time.
If you want to choose the model by manual, untick the checkbox of "Auto select recognition
model", and then tick the checkbox of the model you want to enable.
Rules & advices for manual selection:
1. At least one face recognition algorithm model must be enabled, otherwise the face recognition
function would malfunction.
2. Between NVR and camera, you can only select either-or.
3. Models with across versions are disallowed to be selected.
4. Newer version (with bigger digital sequence) is preferred to be selected due to its algorithm
optimization and database update.
5. Multiplex models with same version are allowed & recommended to be enabled. This would
help to decrease the analysis loading on a single NVR or camera and accelerate the
recognition.
If one or more selected cameras (not all) are off-line, the recognition mission will be automatically
assigned to the rest of selected camera(s).
120
6. When the Model is enabled on a single camera and if the camera is off-line, the face
recognition will stop working. System will send an alert notification shown as below. Click
"
OK
" to let the system automatically select a new model. If you click "
Cancel
", you would
need to configure the recognition model by manual later.
7. If you want to change the model to a different version, the system would send you a notice,
click "
OK
" to continue.
121
8. If the recognition model has been changed to a different version, the system would send you
a notice, click "
OK
" to continue. If you click "
Cancel
", you would need to go to "
Database
Management
" menu and then click "
Update facial features
" button to update the database.
122
5.4.2.2 Database Management
You're able to create and manage the face profiles (database) to classify different people into
different groups in order to quickly identify people in remote and realize intelligent alarm
beforehand.
There are 3 default groups: Allow List, Block List, and Stranger:
➔
Allow List:
Mostly used to define a list of people that are regarded as acceptable or
trustworthy, such as family members, colleagues, frequent customers, etc.
➔
Block List:
Mostly used to define a list of people that are regarded as unacceptable or
untrustworthy and should be excluded or avoided.
➔
Stranger:
All ungrouped people will be identified as stranger.
You can use the add icon and delete icon to add or delete customized groups.
Import Database: Import database from USB memory / local HDD storage. Note that this will
overwrite the existing settings and face profiles.
Backup Database: Export database to USB memory / local HDD storage.

load and the service will not be interrupted.
Double Address Mode: In Double Address Mode, two network ports are configured with IP
addresses and gateways of different network segments respectively, and the two network ports
are operating independently of each other. The LAN port for connecting the external network
should be configured as the default route.
Network Card Select: Used for setting whether to display the network parameter information of
LAN1 or LAN2. This option is not available in Single Address Mode.
143
DHCP IPv4: To connect a router that allows DHCP, select this option. the router automatically
assigns all the IPv4 network parameters to the NVR. If you do not select this option, the IP address,
subnet mask, gateway, and DNS will automatically change back to the setting when you
unchecked the option last time. (Note: Currently, DHCP IPv6 is not supported.)
IP Address: The IP address is the identification of the NVR in the network. An IP address consists
of four numbers between 0 and 255, separated by periods, for example, 192.168.001.100.
Subnet Mask: A subnet mask is a network parameter that defines the range of IP addresses that
can be used in the network. A subnet address consists of four numbers, separated by periods, for
example, 255.255.000.000.
Gateway: The IP address of the gateway of the network where the device is located. The default
value is 192.168.001.001.
DNS1/DNS2: DNS1 is the preferred DNS server and DNS2 is the alternate DNS server.
IPv6 Address: The IPv6 address is the identification of the NVR in the network. An IPv6 address
consists of eight numbers between 0 and FFFF, separated by colons. For example,
ABCD:EF01:2345:6789:ABCD:EF01:2345:6789.
Subnet Prefix Length: Subnet prefix length.
IPv6 Gateway: The IP address of the IPv6 gateway of the network where the device is located.
Default Route: In the dual-access mode, set the LAN port to the external network as the default
route. Note that this option is unavailable for Single Address Mode.
Web Compatibility Mode: If the device cannot be accessed through the Web, you can select this
option to have a try. Insecure encryption is used when this option is enabled. Thus you must be
careful in selecting this option.
Channels…: Click this button to set the channels for encrypting and transmitting video streams to
clients.
Video Encryption Transmission:
Note:
1. In Single Network Card Mode, the device can access the network through either of the two
LAN ports. If both LAN ports are connected to network cables, they must be connected to
the same switch.
2. In Double Network Card Mode, the two LAN ports cannot be connected to the same switch.

wait a while till the hard disks mounted again.
5.6.1.1 Disk Group
If your NVR supports to install multiple HDDs, you can configure the HDD to be different groups.
HDD groups allow you to balance recordings across multiple hard drives. For example, you can
record channels 1~4 to one hard drive and 5~8 to a second hard drive. This can reduce the
amount of wear on the hard drives and may extend the life of the hard drives.
176
1. Use the dropdown next to
Disk Group Type

This function can be used to display technical information on the hard drive installed inside your
NVR. You can also perform a test (there are three types available) to evaluate and detect potential
drive errors.
Whole Evaluation not passed, continue to use the disk:
If for some reason the hard drive has
developed a fault (such as one or more bad sectors), you can instruct your NVR to continue saving
to the drive.
Self-check Type:
There are three types available:
177
Short:
This test verifies major components of the hard drive such as read/write heads, electronics
and internal memory.
Long:
This is a longer test that verifies the above as well as performing a surface scan to reveal
problematic areas (if any) and forces bad sector relocation
Conveyance:
This is a very quick test that verifies the mechanical parts of the hard drive are
working.
Note
: When performing a test, your NVR will continue to work as normal. If an HDD S.M.A.R.T
error found, the HDD can be continued to use, but there will be a risk to lose recording data. It is
recommended to replace a new HDD.
5.6.1.3 RAID
The RAID function has a high requirement on hard disk performance. To ensure long-term stable
operation and reliability of RAID, it is recommended that you use enterprise-class hard disks
(including brand, model, and capacity) for RAID creation and other configurations. If
surveillance-class or desktop-class hard disks are used, data security may be affected. The
company shall not be liable for the data loss or data damage caused thereby.
Note:
The RAID function is only applicable to GV-RNVR256G0-N.
5.6.1.3.1 Enabling RAID
Choose Main Menu > System > General to open the general setting page. Select Enable Raid to
enable the RAID function, and then save the configuration. The configuration will take effect after
the system is restarted.
178
Note: After the RAID function is enabled, the NVR does not support E-SATA and NAS.
5.6.1.3.2 Creating RAID
You can create RAID either in one click or manually. For one-click creation, RAID5 is created by
default. For manual creation, RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID6, and RAID10 are supported. You can
create different types of RAID in accordance with the actual number of hard disks to be accessed.
Hard Disk Quantity for RAID Creation
RAID Type
Hard Disk Quantity
RAID0
≥ 2
RAID1
2
RAID5
≥ 3
RAID6
≥ 4
RAID10
4 or 8
Note: The capacity of a single hard disk used for RAID creation is not less than 4 TB. For an
installed hard disk with a capacity less than 4 TB, it cannot be selected for RAID creation.
(1) Automatic RAID Creation
Through one-click configuration, the device can quickly create RAID and virtual disks. RAID5 is
created by default in one-click configuration, and at least four hard disks should be installed.
179
(2) Creating RAID Manually
To create RAID manually, click Create RAID to open the Create RAID page. Set the RAID name,
select the RAID type, select the hard disks, and click OK to create the RAID. After the RAID is
created, format the RAID.
To enable the RAID for normal use, you need to format the RAID first. After RAID formatting is
completed, open the disk group configuration page, select the disk group and recording channels,
and ensure that camera recording is normal.
180
5.6.1.3.3 Setting Hot Spare Disks
To ensure RAID security, when RAID is in degraded status, the system can automatically carry out
RAID rebuilding. Therefore, it is recommended that hot spare disks be configured.
On the RAID configuration page, select an idle hard disk, click the Add HotDisk button, and
confirm the hot spare disk setting. (Hot spare disks are public disks and can be used by all created
RAIDs.)
5.6.1.3.4 Rebuilding RAID
The operational status of a RAID includes normal, degraded, and offline. To give full play to RAID
advantages and ensure the security and reliability of data storage, you can maintain the disks in a
timely manner by viewing RAID status. For a RAID, when there is no physical disk loss, the RAID
is in normal status; when the number of physical disks lost exceeds the threshold for the RAID
type, the RAID is in offline status; when the actual situation is between the two cases, the RAID is
in degraded status. When a RAID is in degraded status, it can be restored to normal status
through RAID rebuilding.
(1) Rebuilding RAID Automatically
Automatic RAID rebuilding requires that the device should be configured with hot spare disks in
advance and the hot spare disk capacity should be not less than the capacity of the smallest disk
of the RAID. If the above conditions are met, when a hard disk in a RAID is lost or damaged, the
hot spare disk is activated and considered as a candidate disk for the RAID, and then the
automatic rebuilding task is started.
For example, RAID5 consists of hard disks 1, 2, and 3, and hard disk 4 has been configured as a
hot spare disk. Hard disk 2 fails in operation, and the system does not detect it. Therefore, RAID5
is in degraded status, and hard disk 4 is immediately activated and considered as a candidate disk.
Then, the rebuilding process is started.
181
Note:
1. After rebuilding is completed, the RAID is restored to normal status.
2. After automatic rebuilding is completed, insert a normal hard disk and set it as a hot
spare disk to ensure that the automatic rebuilding process can be started normally the
next time an exception occurs.
(2) Rebuilding RAID Manually
When a RAID is in degraded status, if it has no hot spare disk, automatically rebuilding cannot be
implemented. You need to manually rebuild the RAID to restore it to normal status.
On the RAID configuration page, select an idle disk, and click the Rebuild RAID button, verify the
password, and then start RAID rebuilding. After the rebuilding is completed, the RAID is restored
to normal status.

B. Troubleshooting
1. Q: What can I do if the system does not detect the HDD?
A: Check if the power supply system is properly connected and data cord and power cables
are securely connected, and if something wrong with the HDD interface. Or you may check if
your HDD is supported by referring to the specifications or descriptions.
2. Q: I have changed the password but forget the new password, how can I access the
system?
A: If you forget system password, consult with our technical personnel. We strongly suggest
user to set password easy to be remembered and relatively safe. If you have safety
requirement, do not set very simply password, such as 000000.
3. Q: We see abnormal video signal or even no video signal by connecting the NVR and
camera together. Power supply for both devices is OK. What is wrong?
A: Check network cable at NVR side to see if the cable is firmly connected and if it is worn out
and needs to be replaced, or to check if NTSC or PAL is selected consistently.
4. Q: How to prevent NVR from being influenced by heat?
A: The NVR needs to dissipate heat while it is running. Place the NVR in a place with good air
circulation and away from heat sources to ensure stability and life of the NVR.
5. Q: The remote controller of NVR doesn’t work while the monitor screen is OK and
panel keys are functional. Why?
A: Operate again by aiming the remote controller at the IR receiver on front panel. If it still
doesn’t work, check if the batteries in the remote controller are dying. If not, check if the
remote controller is broken.
6.
Q: I want to take out HDD from my PC and install it in NVR. Can it work?
A: All HDDs supported by the system can be used. But remember, once NVR runs, the data
on your HDD will be lost.
7.
Q: Can I play back while recording?
A: Yes. The system supports the function of playing while recording.
8.
Q: Can I clear some records on HDD of NVR?
A: In consideration of the file security, you may not clear part of records. If you want to remove
all the records, you can format HDD.
9.
Q: Why can’t I log in NVR client?
A: Check if the network connection settings are correct and RJ-45 port is with good contact.
And check if your account and password are correctly input.
10.
Q: Why can’t I find any records during playback?
A: Check if the data line connection for HDD is OK and system time is properly adjusted. Try a
few times and restart. If it still doesn’t work, check if the HDD is broken.
274
Q: Why NVR cannot control PTZ?
A: Check if:
a) PTZ in the front side is malfunctioned.
b) Setting, connection and installation of PTZ decoder are not correct.
c) PTZ setting of NVR is not correct.
d) Protocol of PTZ decoder does not match that of NVR.
e) Address of PTZ decoder does not match that of NVR.
f) If many decoders are connected, the farthest side of AB line of PTZ decoder should be
added 120Ω resistance to realize reflection suppression and impedance matching.
Otherwise, PTZ control will be unstable.
11.
Q: Why doesn’t dynamic detection work?
A: Check if the motion detection time and motion detection regional setting are correct and if
the sensitivity is set too low.
12.
Q: Why doesn’t alarm work?
A: Check if the alarm setting, alarm connection and alarm input signals are correct.
13.
Q: Why does buzzer keep alarming?
A: Check the alarm setting, check if motion detection function is enabled and object motion is
detected all the time and if I/O alarm is set as Always Off. Besides, refer to corresponding HDD
alarm setting.
14.
Q: Why can’t I stop recording by pressing “STOP” button or click “Stop Recording” in
context menu?
A: Pressing Stop or Stop Recording can only stop manual record. If you want to stop
Scheduled recording in certain time quantum, change the setting to No Record. To stop
Startup recording, change record mode to scheduled recording or manual recording. Then
you may stop recording by the prescribed methods. And another way of stopping recording
is to set channel as off status in record setting.

C. Usage Maintenance
1. To shut down NVR, firstly shut down the system and then turn off the power. Do not turn off
the power directly or HDD data will be lost or damaged.
2. Keep NVR away from heat sources or places.
3. Clean the internal dust regularly. Make sure the good ventilation of NVR so as to ensure the
good heat dissipation.
4. Do not hot plugging audio and video cables, or cables connected to ports like RS-232 or
RS-485. Otherwise, the ports will be damaged.
5. Check the HDD cable and data cable regularly to see if they are ageing.
6. Prevent the audio and video signals of NVR from being intervened by other electronic devices,
and prevent the HDD from being damaged by static electricity and induced voltage. If the
network cable is frequently plugged, it is suggested to replace connecting line regularly, or the
input signal may be unstable.
7. This is a class A product. It maybe bring wireless interference in life. Under this situation, it
need user to make measures.
