The article describes how to quickly install and configure your surveillance system from the company Kroks, and quickly set up the DVR and the IP cameras with PoE.

Before starting work, we will define the network map. If possible, you should clarify the network configuration with your system administrator. Suppose the final configuration of a computer network including the installed video surveillance system will be:

Router 192.168.1.1

The range of fixed IP addresses, with the exception of the router, 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.109

For video surveillance, you must use fixed IP addresses.

Assign IP address 192.168.1.110 to the DVR

Four cameras will assign addresses in the range 192.168.1.111 — 192.168.1.114

We will connect all the devices according to this scheme, but without connecting to the external network, in order to avoid the conflict of IP addresses.

Upon initial startup, the DVR will launch a quick setup utility. Consider its work.

Click "Next Step"

Select the user name "admin" and enter the password 12345.

Select interface language.

Click "User" or "Login".

We do not change anything in the «Settings» tab. Go to the tab «Date».

In the «Date» tab, we make the necessary date and time settings.

Set the IP address to 192.168.1.110

Set the gateway address 192.168.1.1

Set addresses of DNS servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Click "Next step"

Select "Automatic mode"

Confirm changing the IP address of the remote device

In this menu, select a calendar entry. Recording may occur at a specific time. Also, recording can occur by event, for example, by a motion detector. We do not change anything, click "OK".

All cameras will be configured automatically. They will be assigned IP addresses, following order of the IP address of the DVR.
