How to Install Gyration 8-Channel Network Video Recorder With PoE

Setting up your Gyration NVR is straightforward, designed to minimize complexity while delivering robust security coverage. Follow these steps to get your system up and running efficiently.

• Choose a secure location: Place the NVR in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct heat, dust, or moisture. Ensure it has a stable power source and convenient access for maintenance and monitoring.
• Connect cameras via PoE: Run a single Ethernet cable from each PoE port on the NVR to the corresponding IP camera. The NVR will provide power and data connectivity to each camera, simplifying installation and reducing clutter.
• Attach the storage and connect to the network: Ensure the included 6 TB HDD is securely mounted and recognized by the NVR. Connect the NVR to your local network using a standard Ethernet cable to enable remote access and monitoring from compatible devices.
• Power on and initialize: Plug the NVR into a power outlet and wait for the boot process. Access the user interface through the connected monitor or a web client, and complete any on-screen setup prompts, including date, time, and network settings.
• Configure cameras and recording settings: Add each camera to the NVR, assign names for easy identification, and set recording schedules, motion detection triggers, and retention preferences. With H.265 compression and 4K recording, tailor the settings to balance image quality, storage usage, and remote viewing needs.
• Test playback and remote access: Verify live feeds from all connected cameras and perform test playback to confirm footage is being captured as expected. If remote access is needed, configure port forwarding or use the respective mobile or web viewing options supported by your network environment.
