TH8 Installation and Conguration Guide
Setting up the DVR
About
This topic describes procedures for conguring the DVR, including system settings, cameras/recording,
alarms, and network details (if applicable).
Before you begin...
The unit should be installed, including power and cabling.
For more information, see "Installation" on page 5.
DVR Menu Access
You can congure the DVR with its local on-screen menus using a monitor and mouse, or through a Web
Browser on a connected laptop. These settings can also be accessed remotely over a wireless network.
Local access with On-screen Display (OSD) menus:
Connect a portable monitor to the VIDEO OUT RCA jack on the DVR front panel and plug a mouse into the USB
port to work with conguration settings.
For more information, see "Accessing the On-screen Display" on page 25.
To set or change a password, right-click in Live view, then choose the Conguration System Password
options
Web Browser access:
The DVR's built-in Web Server provides the same conguration options as the On-screen Display menus (with
small interface differences) as well as video search, playback, and archiving features.
TIP: Web Interface and Network Conguration
Logging in to the DVR with a Web Browser requires the proper network conguration to establish a
connection, and a browser extension to display the user interface.
Plug an RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the front panel LAN port, or connect remotely over a network if you have
Smart Reach wireless access.
Contact the Technical Support team for more information.
