how to install TR-MRP08-B

• Prepare the NVR and hard drives: Unbox the TR-MRP08-B and install up to two 10TB SATA hard drives into the designated bays. Ensure drives are properly seated and connected to the internal SATA connectors. This creates the storage foundation for 4K video retention and smooth playback.
• Connect cameras via PoE: For a quick setup, connect compatible IP cameras directly to the eight PoE-enabled ports on the TR-MRP08-B. These cameras will receive power and network data through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying wiring and reducing clutter.
• Attach display outputs: Use an HDMI cable to connect the NVR to your primary monitor or TV for live viewing and day-to-day operations. If you require a second display, connect another monitor via the VGA port. Ensure the monitors are powered on and set to the correct input source.
• Network and internet configuration: Connect the NVR to your router using an Ethernet cable. Power up the device and access the web interface or local UI to configure network settings. Assign a static IP if needed for stable remote access and note the NVR’s address for cloud-enabled connections.
• Initial setup and cloud activation: Follow the on-screen wizard to configure time, user accounts, and password policies. Enable cloud features to facilitate remote viewing, push alerts, and mobile access. Add cameras to the NVR by auto-search or manual configuration, and adjust recording schedules, resolution, and retention policies to match your storage capacity and security needs.
• Test playback and alerts: Perform a live test by triggering motion or recorded events to verify recording, playback, and alert delivery. Confirm that push notifications arrive on mobile devices and that cloud access is functioning correctly for remote monitoring.
• Security hardening and backups: Create strong administrator credentials, enable user permissions for staff, and configure periodic backups to external storage or the cloud if supported. Regularly review firmware updates from Turing to ensure you have the latest security patches and feature enhancements.
• Ongoing maintenance: Periodically check drive health, review storage utilization, and monitor network performance. Keep cameras properly aligned and free of obstructions, and ensure the NVR remains within its ventilation range to prevent overheating during extended operation.
