IP addresses can be obtained either from a DHCP server automatically or from the manually set
fixed IP.
1. When using the DHCP, make sure your NVR5000, IP cameras and Remote PC have got the IP
addresses from the same DHCP.
2. When using the Fixed IP, check the IP Address Plan below for reference.
Ask your IT engineer for help if you do not know how to set up IP addresses for the devices.
IP Address Configuration Table (Sample)
Device Quantity Configuration
IP Camera 35 IP: 192.168.1.11 ~ 192.168.1.45
Remote Client 1
IP: 192.168.1.100
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

• Recording
• RAID Type : Use RAID 6 (default) unless you have other concerns.
• Bit Rate: Use default bit rate unless you have other concerns.
• Retention Day: This depends on RAID type, bit rate and disk size. refer to
Retention Days in the Appendix.
• Local Live View
• FPS: Use default FPS. If you use 3rd party cameras, refer to FPS Configurations in
the Appendix.
• Enable/Disable Local Live View: If you do not need to monitor the live view locally,
it is recommended to logout NVR5000 local live view to save CPU resources.
• Network Bandwidth
• Recommended to use Gbps network.
• If you find the network loading is over 500Mbps, use dual LAN ports.
• Video Intelligent (VI)
• Activate only the necessary VI on the cameras since VI will heavily increase the
NVR loading.
