Tips

The built-in PoE ports are plug-and-play,

requiring no configuration for Platinum IP

cameras. The cameras will be arranged in

order by port number.

See the Platinum Download Page for the latest

firmware and software.

Be sure to close and reopen Firefox, Chrome,

or Safari after installing the web component.

The Mac web component for Safari is available

from the Platinum Download Page.

The USB ports on the front and back can be

used for either the mouse or a flash drive.

It helps to plan out IP addresses in advance and

label Ethernet cords. This aids organization

and troubleshooting.

It is often easier to copy and paste the DDNS

information from the ns1.dvrlists.com site into

the web interface. This prevents typos.

Networking the NVR, IPC, & External PoE Connecting the NVR to the Network The NVR should be connected to the network from its single LAN port. If the NVR comes with built-in PoE ports, they should only be connected to IP cameras. ! Warning ! The built-in PoE ports should not be connected to a switch or router. Only PoE powered IP cameras should be connected to the built-in PoE switch. Turn off power on external PoE switch ports that are not connect to an IP camera.
PAGE 3
Assign or Find the NVR’s IP Address To reach the network settings, go to: The current network settings are also in Maintenance: Menu > Configuration > Network Menu > Maintenance > System Info > Network By default DHCP is disabled. The IP address is 192.0.0.64 http://www.ltsecurityinc.
PAGE 4
Scanning & Adding IP Cameras 1-Click Camera Adding Single Camera Adding As of the December 2013 firmware update, the NVRs can quickly add all cameras with a single click. The NVR will scan for, assign addresses to, and add cameras. The button is on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen (right click to display). The NVR has built-in tools to scan for and add the IP cameras individually. The tool is located under: Menu > Camera > Camera The NVR will show the cameras that it found and added.
PAGE 5
Scanning from the IP Tool (SADP) The IP tool (SADP) can be used from a Windows® computer to scan for Platinum devices. This allows configuration of the IP addresses for IP cameras, NVRs, and even DVRs. The device’s IP address and Gateway (router) can be set from here. The device’s password must be entered for changes to be accepted. The default password is: 12345 The devices should show up automatically. It checks every few seconds.
PAGE 6
Camera Configuration (Picture / Name) Adjusting a Camera’s Picture Changing a Camera’s Name The camera image can be adjusts is a variety of ways (e.g. rotated 180°). Please note that the camera, itself, is being configured from the NVR. These options are under: By default, each camera is named “CAMERA01.” This is because the name of each camera is stored, not on the NVR, but on the camera itself.
PAGE 7
Camera Positioning Moving Camera Feeds Changing Camera Order Camera feeds can be rearranged on the NVR’s display. Click the [X] to remove a feed. Click the screen position and then a camera’s icon () to add that camera. Use the left arrow [<] and right arrow [>] to see more screens (if the cameras won’t all fit into one). Cameras connected to the built-in PoE switch are in the order of the ports that they are connected to. Cameras connected to an external PoS switch are in the order they were added.
PAGE 8
Recording (Motion / Fulltime) Motion Detection Fulltime Recording By default, the Platinum NVRs/DVRs are set to record on motion. To change the schedule, go to: To schedule specific recording times: Click “Normal” Select an area Menu > Record > Schedule Be sure to change settings for each camera and click “Apply”. Motion recording is indicated as a pale green/yellow. Scheduled recording times will be blue. Fulltime (“Normal”) recording will be completely blue. http://www.ltsecurityinc.

Port Forwarding Port Forwarding CanYouSeeMe.org To allow remote access to the DVR/NVR, port forwarding must be configured on the router. The Ideal Way to Network the DVR for Port Forwarding You will need:  A PC connected to the same router as the NVR/DVR  The IP addresses of the NVR/DVR and Router (a.k.a. Gateway)  The username and password for the router. Step 1: Enter the IP address of the DVR/NVR into a web browser.

Port Fwd. Ex. 1 (Newer Linksys) In this example, a newer Linksys router is being configured. An example address of “192.168.1.222” is being used. The settings are under: Security > Apps and Gaming > Single Port Forwarding Ports to Forward: 80 (web/HTTP) 8000 (server/app) 8554 (video/RTSP) Please note that each router is different. Even the same manufacturer may use different interfaces. Please see the router’s manual for details. Often the manuals can be found on the manufactures website.
PAGE 11
Port Fwd. Ex. 2 (Older Linksys) In this example, an older Linksys router is being configured. An example address of “192.168.1.222” is being used. Port forwarding is under: Applications & Games > Port Range Forwarding Ports to Forward: 80 (web/HTTP) 8000 (server/app) 8554 (video/RTSP) Please note that each router is different. Even the same manufacturer may use different interfaces. Please see the router’s manual for details. Often the manuals can be found on the manufactures website.
PAGE 12
DDNS Registration and Setup A consistent address is needed at the customer’s location to reach the NVR/DVR. If the outside (WAN) address of the location changes frequently, then a DDNS address can be assigned to it. The DDNS Website: Address (Domain) Creation Once registered, an address can be created. This will be the web address that the customer uses to reach the NVR/DVR. http://ns1.dvrlists.com/ Registration There is a link to register on the website.
PAGE 13
Entering the DDNS Once the DDNS address is created, it can be entered into the NVR/DVR. The DDNS settings are under: Click the check box next to Enable Device Domain Name is the address just created. User Name is the installer’s e-mail address. Password is for the DDNS account created. Confirm is the DDNS password again. Menu > Configuration > Network > DDNS The password is not the e-mail account password. The default DDNS type is “LTS” and the default server is “ns1.dvrlists.com” (our server).

Search & Playback (Normal / Smart) Normal Search Smart Search To find and playback video, go to: Menu > Playback > Normal The Smart Search makes it easy to find video by narrowing down were motion occurred. Make sure only one feed is selected. Select one or more cameras > Double click a day > Slide to the desired time > Click Play Click the graph icon (“Smart”). Use the zoom icons to magnify the time bar. Select an area > Click “Search” The results show up in blue. http://www.ltsecurityinc.

The e-mail settings are under: Menu > Configuration > Network > Email Click “Test” to make sure the information has been entered correctly.
PAGE 19
Channel Settings Add a check mark to the “Send Email” settings. Once the e-mail sender account has been configured, each camera must be told to send an e-mail alert. These settings are under: Menu > Camera > Motion > (Gear Icon) > Linkage Action Do this for each camera that needs an e-mail alert. Note: Snapshots are in D1 resolution. Note: Please limit the area to the smallest possible size. All motion will trigger an e-mail (passing cars, windblown trees, etc.). http://www.ltsecurityinc.

RTSP Video & JPEG Image RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) is a standardized video streaming protocol. IP cameras use it to provide the video to the NVR. NVRs and DVRs use it to provide video to the web client, app, etc. RTSP Video rtsp://username:password@
:/streaming/channel/ (Mainstream = 01 | Substream = 02) Example 1: NVR/DVR Mainstream – Channel 16 (IP Address) The purpose of RTSP is to be compliant with Onvif.
