Mirror and Flip - Individual circumstances can force users to mount their cameras in non-
standard or less-than-ideal positions. And, sometimes, a user will realize that they
mounted their camera upside down after they’ve put the ladder and tools away.
Enable Mirror to switch the image left to right. Flip will turn the image upside down.
BLC Mode - BLC, or Back Light Compensation enables the camera to adjust its settings so
that a subject in front of a light source - such as a window - does not appear as a
darkened, featureless figure.
Profile - These are a combination pre-configured settings that allow you to quickly optimize
a camera to certain lighting conditions. It is useful if the area where your camera is
located has a unique lighting situation. There is also the option to set up your own
User-Defined settings. In this mode, you can adjust the red and blue balance, set
when the camera will switch over to day (color) or night (black and white) mode and
adjust the camera’s electronic shutter speed using the Exposure option. This latter
setting will increase or decrease the amount of light entering the camera.
After making your changes, click on Save to preserve them. You can also revert back to the
factory settings by clicking Default.
ADDING AND DELETING REMOTE DEVICES
The lower portion of the window shows all devices currently connected to your NVR. If all of
your channels are occupied, you will need to delete one of the connected devices from this
list by selecting the check box next to it and clicking delete. Items with a gray “X” are directly
connected to your NVR and may only be removed by physically disconnecting them from your
system.
Clicking on the IP Search button will create a list of all remote devices that the NVR was able
to detect. You may limit this search to only IP cameras by selecting IPC in the Filter pull-
down. Items being accessed by your NVR over the Internet will not appear in the list at the top
of the window. They must be added manually (see below).
If you have an available channel, you may add a device by selecting the check box next
to it and then clicking Add. Please note that the NVR will connect automatically only with
devices from compatible manufacturers (see Section 2.4 IP Cameras or Section A.2
Specifications for a list of compatible manufacturers) using their default user names and
passwords. If these have been changed, you will need to use the Manual Add feature instead.
Manual Add
If you have changed the default settings of any remote device which you wish to use with
your NVR, you will need to use the Manual Add button at the bottom of the window to
add this device to the list of connected devices. This applies to cameras and DVRs which
were previously connected but later removed from the list of connected items. Items being
accessed from outside your local network will also need to be added using this button.
Within the Manual Add window, some information may already be displayed but it may not be
correct for the device you are intending to connect.

unchanged.
IP Address - If this device is connected to
the same network as the NVR, the IP address

IP address locally to the device (see the
Remote Monitoring Guide).
TCP Port - The default is 3777. Devices
being accessed over the Internet may
be using a different port. You will have
determined this during setup.
User/Password - Enter the user name and password you set for the device. The default user
name and password for QC-Series IP cameras are admin and admin. For other brands,
please consult your product manual.
Remote Channel - Leave this unchanged.
Decoder Buffer - Ranges from 80 to 480, but it is better to leave it at the default value of 280.
