1. PRODUCT FEATURES  
1.1 Product Introduction  
The WIRELESS NVR-2028 is a storage media of digital video image, which uses hard disk drives  
instead of NAS devices to store video. This wireless storage media provides the user with the power  
of remote control of the Internet. It’s an extremely stable and reliable device because it is a  
stand-alone system. Its local operations are very similar to the DVR’s interface; hence if the user is  
familiar with the DVR s/he will find this media to be most convenient. You don’t need to design any  
analog lines yourself, just use the current existing wireless network function since the device is a  
digital one. Again, where the NVR-2028 is an active device, which automatically, instantly and  
directly detects all events without having to detour via the LAN Camera.  
Additionally, with the NVR-2028 you don’t have to rely on a PC to save any images, because this  
device has done so already, being the best possible storage media for the LAN Camera.  
The device additionally hosts a wireless access point (AP), so you can transmit data without a  
connecting cable. If, for example, you don’t want to use a connecting cable in an old building that is  
within your surveillance system, you can use the wireless NVR-2028 instead. The same applies  
equally to other sites you’re covering.  
The wireless NVR-2028 also has the NAT function to enable direct access to the Internet. Inside the  
device is a Router, so you don’t need to buy one as well.

4. BASIC OPERATIONS  
This section shows you how to operate and manage the NVR when it gets in the way.  
4.1 Configuring Recording Settings  
Recording Time settings (Image Resolution and Image Quality Setting)  
Recording time will vary depending on the image size, quality, and the capacity of the hard-disk drives.  
Generally, the NVR comes with a built-in hard-disk drive for continuous recording under most recording  
conditions. The table below shows the possible recording times based on a 20GB hard-disk drive at  
certain refresh rates and the corresponding image quality. With one or more hard-disk drive(s) in  
operation, please calculate the recording time using the table below in accordance with your requirement.  
For example, if the unit is set to record images with HIGHEST quality at a 352 X 240 resolution, and  
normally a 20GB hard-disk drive will be filled in 13 hours (See the gray area in the table). If the total  
capacity of 80GB hard-disk drives is in use under the same refresh rate, image resolution and image  
quality, it will be filled in 52 hours (4 times the rate of a 20GB hard-disk drive).

RS232 : This option provides the wired function. "RS232" option can set wireless settings to a  
wireless LANCAM. If there are more than one LANCAM to be set, you must set it one  
by one. (Please refer to chapter 3. INSTALLATION section.)  
NOTE: Please set the RS-232 option to ON in the COMMUNICATION page of the setup  
menu before you select this option.  
WLAN : This is the wireless option. "WLAN" option can only be used to transmit modified  
wireless settings to a group of LANCAMs which currently is connected with NVR. Make  
sure all of LANCAM can be connected successfully, i.e. NVR can receive images from  
LANCAMs, before using this function. In the beginning of the process, the connectivity  
testing is performed to ensure that the settings can transmit to all of LANCAMs. If any  
of LANCAMs fails in the testing, the process is aborted.

To allow traffic from the Internet to enter your local network to connect internal devices, such as NVR or  
LANCAM, you will need to open up ports or the router will block the request. For example, consider an  
assumed LAN network with two devices, NVR and LANCAM, that have LAN IP addresses 192.168.1.205  
and 192.168.1.168, respectively. The http ports of the two devices are of the default settings (80).  
NVR's WAN port connects to the Internet with a WAN IP 100.0.0.2.  
Two public ports, say 2000 and 2001, are assigned to NVR and LANCAM for identifying internal devices  
from the Internet.  
The settings should be set like the followings.

8. Index Table  
The following description details how the NVR-2028 manages an index table issue.  
The NVR will generate a time index table indicating recorded data is kept in a particular HDD. This  
allows to individually selecting recorded data to be displayed via the alarm list search and full list  
search. The maximum number of lists, for a given HDD, is 3000. When the list of any given HDD is  
used up-and the disk is not full, The unit will still use the rest of the space for recording. In such a  
case, an index for the recent recorded data will be generated and the index of the next oldest data  
will be erased so that the list does remain 3000 in total. And the next oldest data will be kept in the  
index of the corresponding oldest data. For any newly-recorded data, this approach will be applied  
until the disk becomes full.

In the rewrite recording mode, when the archived hard disk drive is full, the NVR will start overwriting  
the oldest data recorded. As the previous recorded data was partially overwritten by the recent  
recording, the indicating time index of that data will be changed corresponding to the starting time of  
the remaining session. The index of the session will be deleted from the table when it is fully  
overwritten.

255.255.255.0  
192.168.1.254  
MASK:  
GATEWAY:  
NOTE: When only one unit of the NVR is connected to a computer or LAN, you can freely  
assign an IP address for the NVR. For example, there is a range of NVR IP  
addresses from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.255. You can pick one for use from the  
range of the IP. It’s not necessary to set MASK and GATEWAY; leave the settings  
as default.  
When a NVR is connected to a WAN, you must acquire a unique, permanent IP  
address and correctly configure the MASK and GATEWAY settings according to  
your network architecture. If you have any questions regarding those settings,  
please contact a qualified MIS professional or your ISP.  
NOTE: When connecting to a network, each connected NVR must be assigned a unique  
IP, which must be in the same class type as your network address. IP addresses  
are written as four sets of numbers separated by periods; for example,  
192.168.1.205 therefore, if the connected network is identified as Class C, for  
example, the first three sets of numbers of the NVR IP address must be the same  
as the network address. If the connected network is identified as Class B, the  
first two sets of numbers of the NVR IP address must be the same as the network  
address. If you have any questions regarding these settings, please contact a  
qualified MIS professional or your ISP.
