HOW TO USE UNIVIEW PRODUCT-NVR

How to configure port mapping There are two port mapping methods are available: UPnP and Port forwarding on Router manually. UPnP a. automatic mode With UPnP enabled for Network Address Translation (NAT), the ports on the device can be mapped automatically to the router, and computers can access your NVR from outside the LAN. To use UPnP in your device, you must enable UPnP in the router to which your device is connected Auto mode is recommended. otherwise, ports will conflict if not configured properly.

How to configure port mapping b. manual mode If you want to use a specified external port, you can choose the manual UPnP.  For an NVR with multiple NICs, port mapping should be configured based on the NIC specified as the default route.

How to configure port mapping Port forwarding on Router manually If your router does not support UPnP, then you need to configure internal and external ports manually. Step1. disable the UPNP function on your NVR, set the external ports manually.

How to configure port mapping Port forwarding on Router manually Step2. set the port forwarding on the router The principle of port mapping is that the internal and external ports of the NVR are consistent with that of the router.

How to configure port mapping Port forwarding on Router manually Some routers may require the same internal and external ports for the NVR and the router.

How to configure port mapping Port forwarding on Router manually You may verify by entering the following information in the address bar of your web browser:: router's WAN port IP address: external HTTP port. For example, if 65.164.52.165 is the IP address and 82 is the HTTP port, then you enter http://10.2.2.10:82. If port mapping is effective, the login page of the NVR will be displayed.

How to configure RAID One-click Create RAID Click One-click Create, and an array will be created automatically It is recommended to configure a hot spare disk to ensure reliable system operation and successful rebuilding in case an array fails.  Only some NVR models support RAID.  Currently only RAID 1 and RAID 5 are supported. You need two hard disks for RAID 1, and 3-8 disks for RAID5.

How to configure RAID One-click Create RAID There is no need to select disks. The system identifies all usable disks. RAID 1 is created when two disks are available. When three or more disks are available, RAID 5 is created. If more than four disks are available, a global hot spare disk will be created. Arrays created in this way are named ARRAYX, for example, ARRAY1, ARRAY2.

How to configure RAID Creating an Array Manually Click “create” to chose disks you want, then click “OK” to create RAID array. Note: No hot spare disk will be created automatically in this procedure.
