How to install TP-Link VIGI 8 Channel PoE+ Network Video Recorder

Follow these straightforward steps to set up your VIGI 8-Channel NVR and start monitoring quickly.

  • Choose a secure, well-ventilated location for the NVR and place it on a stable surface or rack. Ensure there is access to a monitor, a network switch or router, and a power outlet.
  • Confirm the preinstalled 2 TB HDD is seated properly in the chassis. If you need more storage in the future, you can upgrade by adding drives up to 16TB per SATA bay (repeatable on each bay).
  • Connect each PoE camera to one of the 8 PoE+ ports on the NVR using Cat5e/6 Ethernet cables. If your cameras require external power, they will receive it from the NVR’s PoE ports.
  • Connect the NVR to a monitor using the 4K HDMI output, then power on the device. Use the on-screen display to configure basic settings such as date, time, user accounts, and administrator password.
  • Access the NVR’s web interface or companion software to add cameras, set recording schedules, define motion-activation events, and configure alerts. Verify live view and playback for all connected cameras, and adjust resolution and frame rates to balance image quality with storage usage.
  • For ongoing operation, perform firmware updates when available from TP-Link support to ensure optimal compatibility and security. Set up remote access if desired, following best practices for secure passwords and firmware management.
