If you connect your devices properly, then you will see the beginning interface. So in order to let you understand your setting process quickly, we will introduce the basic information about the six-button in the beginning:

1. REC Search: you can find your video record and playback them as you want, you can also export your video into your own U disk for further analysis.
2. System: It can show your devices specific information, you can enter in this function to check your devices information for example: Version, Modules, Server Status and so on.
3. Log Search: It can quickly check your log attract, in this function you can find the log mark.
4. Setup: In this function, you can set up your devices information and you can change your devices’ parameters for different using environment.
5. ITS: You can configure your ITS information.
6. Logout: If you need to log out the user and change another one, then you need to click here.

Enter in the “System” function, then you can easily check your host Version Information and other information about your devices.

First, you need to enter in the “Setup” function and then you can setup your information, The MDVR can set to power on by Ignition or Timer in the page “Setup →Basic setup → Startup → ON/OFF”.

Low voltage protection is used to set the MDVR to shut down automatically when the supply voltage is lower than the specified value. So there is no need to worry about the MDVR using up the battery of the vehicle. It can be set in the page “Setup →Basic setup → Startup → Sleep”.

Also in the “Setup” function, The MDVR needs to be manually set up to your time zone after installation in the page “Basic Setup → Time Setup → General”.

The MDVR can support multiple modes of time synchronization, it can support Satellite, NTP and Center Server. The default mode is Satellite.

The “Network setup” is in the “Setup” function interface.

The MDVR can use the LAN to send data to the server. You can set the LAN IP address in the page “Basic Setup → Network → Local”. All MDVR with IPC or RJ45 interface can use this function. If the MDVR only has an IPC interface, an additional IPC to RJ45 connection is required.

If the MDVR equipped with Wi-Fi, it can be used to send data to the server. You can set the Wi-Fi access point in the page “Basic Setup → Network → WiFi”.

If the MDVR equipped with 4G, it can be used to send data to the server. You need to set up the APN manually for different operators in the page “Basic Setup → Network → comm”.

Access an MDVR to the Ceiba server to set in the page “Basic Setup → Network → Server”. Follow the steps below: 1)Select the Protocol Type to “N9M”; 2)Enable Network by which network you have, it can set to Local/Wi-Fi/Module1. Module1 means Communication Module about 4G; 3)Input the Register Server IP(Input IP or domain) & TCP port(default port is 5556); 4)Input the Media Server IP & TCP port. It’s the same as the Register Server IP & TCP port.

The MDVR can automatically load the access IPC. But sometimes the IPC address is modified manually, manual installation is required.

If you need to roll or mirror the image of some channel, you can go to the page “Surveillance → Live View→Preview→Image Setup”.

You can get all of the firmware version on the page “System→Version info”, it includes:

1. Device ID corresponding the MDVR Device ID;
2. Serial Num corresponding the MDVR Serial number;
3. MAC Address corresponding the MDVR MAC address;
4. Firmware Version corresponding the MDVR firmware version;
5. MCU Version corresponding the MCU firmware version;
6. CP3/4 Version corresponding the CP3/4 firmware version.

Basic prepare:

1. U disk format to FAT32.
2. New a folder named “upgrade”.
3. Copy the upgrade file into the folder. Make sure there is only one upgrade file in the folder.
4. Plugin the U disk into the USB port in front of the MDVR.

You can upgrade all of the firmware version on the page “Setup→Maintenance→Upgrade”, click the corresponding “Upgrade” button on the right. It includes:

1. Device upgrade, CP4 upgrade, IPC upgrade, GPS upgrade;
2. Because you may have more than one IPC, you need to select which one to upgrade firstly on the page which you click the “upgrade” button on the right to enter.

Basic prepare :

1. U disk format to FAT32;
2. Plugin the U disk into the USB port in front of the MDVR.

Notice: The configure files can’t import & export between different firmware version or MDVR model.

You can export or import configure file on the page “Setup→Maintenance→Config”, click the “Export” or “Import” button on the right according to your needs.

You can default all settings on the page “Setup→Maintenance→Reset”, click the “Reset” button on the right. Notice: The IP address, MAC address, and Register info will not be restored or imported or exported, they must be input independently on each device.

The device stores the log information related to operation in the record media(HDD or SD), it can be covered automatically when the storage is full or deleted by formatting. Sometimes we can export it to analyze the reason of some problems on the page “Setup → Maintenance→FileData”. The log includes:

1. Alarm log, alarm information e.g. Overspeed alarm;
2. Operation log, information of device running, e.g. power-on time, version, network status;
3. You can export all of the logs if you didn’t know when the problem happened or export the log of the specific date if you know the date.

1. Because the USB port on the device is occupied by the mouse when you want to export operation log or alarm log, you can use the following two methods:

• a)Prepare a USB hub so that you can connect the mouse and U disk at the same time and export the log to the U disk;
• b)Prepare a network cable and a computer. The cable connects the computer to the device;
• c)Through the display screen connected to the device，on the page “basic setup→local→network”，check the IP Address.

• d)Check if the network segment on the computer matches the IP address of the device.

Enter the IP address of the device with the browser on the computer to access the device. After logging in, select log type and time in the log interface to search the log, and then export the log.

Sometimes we need to get more details of device’s running, we have to get the print log by U disk follow below:

1. U disk format to FAT32;
2. Copy the file “n9m_print_cfg” into the U disk. No folder needed, just in the root of the U disk. Make sure every letter of the file name is the same as “n9m_print_cfg” and the U disk has no file named “all”;
3. Plugin the U disk into the USB port in front of the MDVR;
4. Run the device until the problem appears;
5. Remove the U disk from the device, and then restart the device to exit the log mode;
6. Plugin the U disk to the computer and cut the file “all” to the computer, and then send it to our technical support.
