how to install Wisenet XRN-1620B2

• Unbox and prepare: Remove the NVR from its packaging, verify all included components, and identify the preinstalled 16 TB drive. If you plan to add or replace internal HDDs, power down the unit before any hardware changes.

• Install or verify hard drives: If necessary, install up to eight SATA HDDs (maximum 10 TB per drive) in the internal bays. Use proper anti-static precautions and secure each drive with the provided screws or brackets.

• Connect video network equipment: Attach cameras to the network via PoE switches or network adapters as per your camera model requirements. Ensure cameras support the same protocol and compatibility for seamless integration.

• Power and initial boot: Connect the NVR to a stable power source. Power on and allow the system to initialize. Access the initial setup interface through the HDMI or VGA display connected to a monitor.

• Configure network settings: Use DHCP for automatic IP assignment or set a static IP to ensure predictable remote access. Note the NVR’s IP address for future login.

• Update firmware and enable security: Check for the latest firmware on Hanwha’s or your vendor’s portal and apply updates. Create administrator and user accounts with strong permissions to protect access.

• Add cameras and set up recording: Add each camera to the NVR, configure recording schedules, frame rates, and resolution. Choose H.265/H.264 or MJPEG per camera to optimize bandwidth and storage.

• Configure ARB and storage policies: Enable Automatic Recovery Backup and set retention policies to align with your audit requirements. Verify that storage is properly allocated across drives and that redundancy settings meet your risk tolerance.

• Test playback and remote access: Play back recorded footage to verify quality and timing. Set up remote access via mobile app or web interface, ensuring secure connections (VPN or HTTPS) and appropriate user permissions.

• Document configuration: Save a copy of network settings, camera mappings, and retention schedules. Keep firmware versions noted for future maintenance and troubleshooting.
