Today we are configuring Reolink’s 8-channel, 4K Network Video Recorder for first time use. We’ll walk through the initial steps required to get the NVR up and running and review some issues you may run into. I’ll connect the cameras to the back of the NVR with the supplied cables and run through the NVR initiation process, to ensure the cameras are working as expected and that we can record footage to the internal hard drive. I like to verify this basic functionality before installing the cameras in their permanent location to ensure all parts are working.
On first start up, the NVR will bring us into a setup wizard, which is exactly what we want, guidance or help getting the system functional. Reolink goes a little overboard with the wizard for an initial setup. They take us down a pretty long complicated and technical path which is not required for an initial setup, without including help text or guidance along the way, as we would expect to see from a help assistant tool. We’re going to skip over those unnecessary sections as this video is about getting the basics functional, before proceeding to the outdoor installation. We’ll revisit those complex settings in a future video from the NVR’s main menu.
On the first screen, I am asked to select a language. I’ll leave that as English. Next, I need to setup the account for the user “Admin”. I need to create a password of at least 6 characters. Too bad you couldn’t connect a keyboard here for the setup process. I tried and it doesn’t work. Also, to make capital letters, or numbers, click the little “ab” icon in the text box. With that said, there will be a learning curve to figure out these oddities of the user interface. Also, “Enter” should read as “Ok” as it simply closes the keyboard and doesn’t actually submit the form, like an “Enter” key would. You can see that all 4 of the connected cameras were just automatically recognized and activated by the NVR with no input for me. That’s an awesome sign and even better that they were automatically detected and added. Level is the level of access this account should have. It’s disabled because this is the admin account needs to have the highest level of control and its setup first. With the Enable Password checkbox checked, this mean you will need to enter the password when accessing the NVR system directly. I will leave that off. At the bottom of this dialog we have “Display wizard when booting up”. This will show the wizard on boot up every time I start the NVR. I will leave that off and if I need to revisit it, there is a wizard button on the main menu bar. These options are available in the main menu anyways.
We run through the remaining steps/screens in the wizard: General configuration, Hard disk management, Network configuration, Device list, Email configuration, UID, DDNS configuration, System time configuration, and DTS Configuration.
Lastly, we open the NVR’s menu and do some final configurations to the IP Camera screen and then format the hard drive on the Records screen. When then verify the NVR is continuously recording and set up a recording schedule.
More videos to come on the configuration and I will be installing this setup outdoor in my next video.
