3. Connect the NVR to power. We recommend using a WattBox PDU to protect the NVR.

4. Connect the cameras to the camera ports.

Claim with OvrC

1. Once the NVR has finished booting (about 30 seconds), OvrC should claim it automatically. If not, claim the NVR manually, as follows:

   1. Scan the QR code on the top of the NVR. This reveals its serial number. Skip to step e.

   2. If the external sticker is missing or damaged, use a browser to navigate to the NVR's IP address. This opens its local interface.

   3. At the left, click the P2P page.

   4. Across the top, click the Configuration tab. The serial number displays below the QR code.

   5. Navigate to app.ovrc.com and log in.

   6. Claim the NVR using its MAC address and serial number.

   

2. Use OvrC to update the NVR firmware if necessary.

3. OvrC auto-claims all cameras.

4. Use OvrC to update camera firmware.

Initialize the HDDs

The installed SATA hard drive appears in the Disk Management page with the status "Uninitialized". Because the disk is not initialized, the NVR reports 0.000 GB free space, and recording will not begin.

To initialize: 

1. Power on the NVR.

2. Log in to the web interface via OvrC.

3. Navigate to Configuration → Storage → Disk Management.

4. Observe the HDD status.

5. Click Initialize if needed,

The system is now ready to be customized.

PoE binding

Cameras connected to an NVR port are not immediately available for online viewing; you must first enable POE Binding.

To initialize: 

1. Power on the NVR.

2. Log in to the web interface via OvrC.

3. Navigate to Configuration → Storage → Disk Management.

4. Enable PoE Binding for each NVR port with an attached camera.

5. Click Apply.

The system is now ready to be customized.
