How do I enable Motion Detection for Hanwha cameras on a non-VMS Hanwha NVR?

Applies to Models: XRN(410, 810, 1610, 2010, 2011, 3010), QRN(410, 810, 1610), PRN-4011, Some SRN series

Summary:

These instructions are for configuring Motion Detection-based recording on Hanwha non-VMS-based NVRs. They are commonly known as “Embedded NVRs” because their user interface is locked and not running on top of Linux or Windows. 

NOTE: The instructions in this article are performed on the web-based management console of
the NVR, the menu layout when performing this directly from the NVR is identical

Step By Step Guide:

1. To connect to the NVR via Chrome, enter the NVRs local IP address into Chrome and press enter

2. The NVR requires a login; you will need to provide the password for the “admin” account

3. The NVR will default to Channel 1 Live View, click on the three horizontal lines in the top left, and select Setup (Figure 1)
