Info

Bench testing does not necessarily have to take place at the job site. If you are in possession of the cameras before the installation starts, you can perform this step before you set foot on the job site.

In order to bench test, you will need:

  • The recorder plugged and powered on

  • A monitor with HDMI or VGA connected to view video (The default recorder resolution should be 1280x720.  Ensure your monitor supports at least 720p resolution.)

  • A short pre made premade ethernet cable. 

...

...

Step 1:

Grab a short, pre madepremade, known working, ethernet cable.  

...

Step 2:

Plug the pre-made premade ethernet cable into recorder and then into the camera. 

...

If your IP camera is equipped with infrared, you may notice the faint red glow when connected, this . This means the unit is receiving power.  It may help to cup your hands around the camera to see the IR.  Some cameras also have LED lights on the internal circuit board that display activity.

...

Step 4: 

An IP camera generally takes about 1 to 2 minutes to fully boot.  Ensure you are looking at the full grid of the display by right clicking and going to multi window and clicking the largest option.

...

The IP camera should appear on the grid of the corresponding port. For example, the 1st grid spot should will correspond with port 1 on the NVR.   

...

If you have more NVR ports than you do cameras - test with another camera to ensure all the ports are working correctly as well.

...

Once these steps are completed you know you have a completely working system!
