2.4.5. Remote Device Initialization
Remote device initialization can change remote device login password and IP address.
When connect a camera to the NVR via PoE port, NVR automatically initialize the camera. The camera adopts NVR current passwo rd and email i nform ation b y de fault.
When connect a camera to the NVR vi a PoE p ort after NVR upgraded to the new versio n, the NVR may fa il to in itiali ze the camera. Go to the Registration inter face to initialize the camera. Step 1 Select Main Menu → CAME RA → Camera Registration.
The Camera Regis tration interface is dis p layed .
Step 2 C lick Device Search and then click Uninitializ ed. Device displays camera(s) to be initialized.
Step 3 Select a camera to be initialized and then click Initialize.
The E nter Pas s word interface is di splayed. See Figure 2. 47.

Step 4 Set remote device password and email information.
If you want to use current device password and email information, the remote device automatically uses NVR admin account information (login password and email). There is no need to set password and email. Go to step 6.
C ancel Us ing current device password and email info, The E nter Pass word interface is displayed. SeFigure 2 .48.

Step 6 Set email information.
Input an email address for reset password purpose.
Cancel the box and then click Next or Skip if you do not want to input email information here. Step 7 Click Next button.
The Network interface is displayed. See Figure 2.50.
Step 8 Set camera IP address.
Check DHCP, there is no need to input IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Device automatically allocates the IP address to the camera.
Check Static, and then input IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and incremental value.
If it is to change several devices IP addresses at the same time, input incremental value. Device can add the fourth address of the IP address one by one to automatically allocate the IP addresses.
If there is IP conflict when changing static IP address, device pops up IP conflict dialogue box. If batch change IP address, device automatically skips the conflicted IP and begin the allocation according to the incremental value.
Step 9 Click Next button.
The Device Initializ ation interface is dis played . See Figure 2. 51.

Parameter Description
C hannel In the Channel list, select the channel that you want to configure.
C onfig File
There are three config fi les fo r you. System has configured th e correspon ding p arameter s fo r each file, y ou can select according to your actual situation.
Brightness
Adj usts the image brightness. The bigger the value is, th e brighter the image will become. Adjusts the brightnes s according t o actual environ ment.
C ontrast
Adj usts the image contrast. The bigger the value is, the more obvious the contrast between the light area and dark area will become. Adjusts the contrast according to actual environment.
Saturation
Adj usts the color shades. The bigger the value, the light er the color will become. Adj usts the s a turation according to actua l environment.
Sharpnes s
Adj usts the sharpness of image edge. The bigger the value is, the more obv ious the image edge is . Adjusts the sharp nes s according to actual environment.
Gamma
It is to adj ust image brightnes s and e nha nc e the image dynamic display range. T he bigger the value i s, the brighter the video is.
Mirror
E nable the function, the left and right side of the video image will be s witched. It is disab led by def ault.
This func tion is for some series products only.
Field of view
It is to set m onitor video di splay d irectio n. It include s normal, reflection , lobby 1, lob by 2.
E xposure
Auto iris
⚫ It is for the camera of auto iri s only.
⚫ After enable auto iri s function, the i ris can automatically zoom in/zo om out according to the brightness of the environment and the image brightness changes to o.
⚫ If disa ble the auto iri s fu nction, the ir is doe s not automatically zoom in/zoo m out according to the brightness of the environment when the iris is at the biggest value.
3D NR
⚫ This function special ly applies to the image which frame r ate is configu red as 2 at least. It reduces the noise s by making use o f the info rmation between two frames . The b igger the value is, the better the effect.
