XL Plus Ip Camera Setup 15 - 3

This document provides instructions for installing and setting up IP cameras connected to an XL PLUS NVR system. It describes initially connecting a camera with a short cable for testing, then connecting all cameras to a PoE switch connected to the NVR. It outlines adding each camera by assigning it an IP address, modifying settings, and adding it to the device list. It also explains configuring a recording schedule to record cameras either continuously or only on motion, and setting up motion detection zones and sensitivity for each camera.

IP Camera Installation and Setup Guide

XL PLUS NVR MODELS

This guide will help to layout and install IP cameras to a new XL PLUS NVR System or to
simply add more cameras to an already existing system. Connecting a camera for the first time should
be done with a short cable and with the camera unmounted where it is easy to diagnose any issues.

Below is an example of a Surveillance System connected to a locations network. This is the first
option for connecting the system. (Devices and configurations may vary dependent on location)

Initial Installation
By now the XL PLUS System should be running with just your monitor, keyboard, mouse, and
possibly an internet connection. All connections should use CAT5e or CAT6 cabling. The following
steps will get us going.

1. Connect a PoE Switch to a Network Adapter on the XL PLUS


2. Change the Network Adapter to the chosen IP scheme
3. Connect a camera to the PoE Switch
4. Configure and add the camera using the following instructions
5. Disconnect the configured camera and label it.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until all cameras are added
7. Mount cameras and configure cameras motion / other settings

Default U/N: admin


Default P/W: admin

To change the camera's NIC to the proper IP scheme go to System Settings ( ). Then go to
Network Settings. Change Network Adapter 2 to a scheme not associated with anything on your
locations network. (ie. 192.168.4.100). Each camera will now be set to this scheme changing the last
octet for each camera (192.168.4.xxx).

Adding A New Camera


Once the camera is connected you should see lights on the port of the PoE Switch that the
camera is connected to. These let you know the switch is receiving communication. The cameras will
take a minute to power on before we can add them. Once it is powered on, follow these steps.

1. Go to Device Management ( ) at the bottom of the screen.


2. Select IPC Search at the bottom right.
3. Make sure the camera's network adapter is selected and the Device Type is NV series IPC. If no
camera shows up hit Update Device List (may take a few seconds).
4. Click the new camera and edit the IP Address to match the camera network (ie. 192.168.4.151)
Also change the NetGate Address to match (ie. 192.168.4.1)
5. Hit Modify Device Configuration
6. Hit Update Device List and click the camera again (it should now have the new IP Address we
assigned to it) If it does not, change the password to admin123 and repeat.
7. If the default password worked hit Add Device. If you needed to change the password, change
the Login Password to admin123and hit Add Device at the bottom and hit Exit
8. The camera should now be added in the Device Management and have Success for Connect
Status.
9. Hit Exit and drag the camera from the Device List on the right into a window you would like to
display the video to make sure it is working properly.
10. Repeat for each camera.

Configuring An IP Camera For Recording
The first step to setting up motion recording is to make sure the software is setup for it. To enter
the Record Schedule Setting go to System Settings ( ) then Record Schedule Setting on the left.
Here we can select when we would like the cameras to record on motion or a schedule. By default the
system is setup to do Motion Rec. ( ) in Purple. To change this select either Normal Rec. ( )
in Green or Normal&Motion Rec. ( ) in Blue then drag the cursor while left clicking over the time
frame you would like to set. Normal Recording does recording full time and Normal&Motion
Recording is full time recording but shows you where there is motion on the playback time line. Below
is an example of a camera recording on motion from 8am-5pm then recording Normal&Motion from
5pm-8am.

After the record schedule is set or if you just wish to leave everything on motion we can enter the
camera's settings to setup it's motion properties. To do this click the Channel Setting ( ) button at
the bottom of the main screen. Go to Motion Detection on the left. Here, the check box for Enable
should be checked. Once it is checked you will see a yellow outline around your video. This will flash
red when motion is detected. To set this area you can click the Clear All button and draw your own
area on the video by left clicking and dragging the mouse. To adjust the Sensitivity use the scroll bar
next to it. Once complete you can copy these settings to other cameras or set them up individually. Hit
Apply&Save then Exit. This camera is now setup for motion recording! In the main screen under the
device list you should see this running man ( ) when motion is detected and ( ) when it is recording
on schedule. If it is not recording there will be no icon next to the camera name.
