Step 1: Install the Hard Drive (Before Powering On)

Before powering up your Uniview NVR or XVR, install the internal hard drive:

1. Remove the outer case by unscrewing the panel screws.

2. Mount your hard drive to the base of the unit using the supplied screws.

3. Connect the SATA and power cables securely from the hard drive to the mainboard.

4. Reassemble the outer case, ensuring all screws are back in place.

5. Connect the included USB mouse, a monitor via the HDMI port, and an Ethernet cable to provide internet access for your NVR/XVR.

This ensures your system is ready to record video and complete full setup immediately after powering on.

Step 2: Power On and Register Your Admin Email

Once the hard drive is installed:

1. Power on the unit and connect it to a monitor.

2. During the initial boot-up, the system will prompt you to:

   • Enter an email address – This should be the primary administrator or owner's email. It will be used for password recovery.

   • Create a strong password – Make sure it’s secure and memorable.

3. After the initial setup, navigate to the Disk Management menu and format the new hard drive so it’s ready for recording.

Step 3: Download the UNV-Link Mobile App

To remotely view and manage your cameras:

1. On your smartphone, go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).

2. Search for and download the UNV-Link app.

3. Open the app, create an account, and verify your email.

4. Download the UNV_Link User Manual here for future reference.

This mobile app will allow you to access your system from anywhere and receive push notifications.

Step 4: Add Your NVR/XVR to the App with the QR Code

Once the app is installed and your account is active:

1. On the NVR/XVR monitor, navigate to the Settings menu and find the QR code for mobile pairing.

2. In the UNV-Link app, tap the “+” to add a device and scan the QR code.

3. Input your device’s password when prompted.

Important: The first person to scan this QR code becomes the device owner in the Uniview ecosystem. This user has full administrative rights and can share the device with others.

Step 5: Share Access with Other Users

The owner can share access with family, colleagues, or other trusted individuals. Other users must downlaod and be registered in the UNV-Link app to receive shared access.

1. In the UNV-Link app, go to Sharing Management.

2. Create a share token using a QR code or registered user account name of person to share with.

3. Define the level of access, channels, and set any expiration date if needed.

Step 6: Configure Motion and Alarm Detection

Now that your system is connected, it’s time to fine-tune the security settings:

1. Select your NVR/XVR in the UNV-Link app or use the monitor interface.

2. Navigate to Motion Detection Settings for each camera.

3. Define:

   • Detection Areas (select zones where motion triggers alerts)

   • Sensitivity Levels

   • Time Schedules

   • Alarm Actions (like push notifications, recording, or snapshots)

This ensures your system not only records events but actively notifies you when needed.
