Install and setup your monitor in accordance with the instructions provided with the monitor. Do not power it on at this time. 2. Cable the HDMI or VGA to your monitor s VGA or HDMI input. The HDMI interface provides the best performance. 3. Plug the mouse into the USB on the front or back of the NVR. 4. If you plan to access your NVR remotely, or configure your NVR to transmit alerts, , etc. to external servers, plug a drop cable from your local area network (LAN) into the RJ45 LAN on the back of the NVR. 5. Connect the power cord (or power adapter for ALI-NVR3304P only) to the power on the back panel of the NVR, and then into a UPS (recommended) or surge protector. Step 6. Install cameras Install your security cameras. Always follow the installation instructions provided with the camera. NOTE: If the cameras feature Power over Ethernet PoE), the cameras that plug into the ports on the back of the NVR can be powered through those ports. Step 7. Connecting it together initial system setup 1. Plug the Ethernet drop cables from the cameras into the RJ-45 Ethernet Switch Ports on back of the NVR. 2. Power on your cameras. 3. Power on the NVR using the power on / off (I / O) switch on the back panel. 4. Power on the monitor. NOTE Some monitors have multiple inputs such including VGA,HDMI, BNC, etc. If you are using this kind of monitor, configure your monitor to display the input connected to your NVR (HDMI or VGA). Step 8. Use the Wizard for basic configuration setup Power on the NVR. Normally, an Alibi logo splash screen appears within 2 minutes. By default, the Setup Wizard will open automatically. Refer to the Alibi Embedded Network Video Recorder Firmware V User Manual provided at for incomplete instructions for using the Wizard and configuring and using your NVR. Important Notes for using the Wizard: Password: When logging into the recorder for the first time, create a Strong administrator user password. Follow the on-screen instructions, and save this password and the GUID file created by the firmware in a secure location. NOTE: There is no factory default password for this device. Date and Time: Set the time zone, date and time correctly. All recorded video and capture (photo) files are time stamped. Storage - HDD: In the HDD Management wizard, if a new recorder is shipped with a pre-configured HDD, nothing needs to be done with it in this window. If you installed an HDD or replaced the HDD, that HDD needs to be initialized by the recorder before it can be used to record data. Select (check the box for) that HDD, then click Init to initialize the disk. NOTE: Init will erase all data from the disk and can take several minutes to complete. When the initialization is complete, click Next to continue. Network Settings: By default, the recorder acquires it s network settings using DHCP (dynamic network settings). Depending on the configuration of the network, these settings may change. To improve remote access to the recorder, Observint recommends that you configure the DVR with fixed network settings. To easily change the DHCP acquired network settings to fixed network settings, un-check the Enable DHCP option in the network setup menu, and then click Apply. Step 9. Access the Menu system After the initial setup of your QVR using the Wizard, the Menus interface enables you to refine your configuration settings and expand the functionality of the system.
