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
