shown.
2. Connect the USB k/b and mouse to 2 available USB ports (B).
3. Connect the Horizon server to the network as follows:
For cameras on a dedicated network:
Connect the network cable to the "VIDEO" NIC (C).
NOTE: Do NOT connect the VIDEO NIC to the Corporate network.
Corporate network:
The NIC marked "CORPORATE" (D) should be connected to the user's corporate
network. This allows clients on the corporate network to view the system. Cameras may
be installed on the corporate network, but must be discovered manually.
E. STARTING THE NVR
The power button on the Server front panel may be covered by an optional bezel.
1. If your bezel is locked, use the Bezel Key (1) to
unlock it.
Note: On a new system, the Bezel is not
attached, and the Bezel Key is stored behind the
bezel.
The user can remove the key, fit the bezel and
use the key to lock it after setup, in order to
prevent unauthorized access to the system.
The Power button is not accessible when the
Bezel is locked,
Be sure to store the key so that it can be retrieved if needed.
2. To start the system, unlock the bezel with the bezel key (2) on the left side of the bezel.
Lift up the release latch button (1) next to the key lock.
Swing the left side out and away from the front panel (3).
Unhook the hinge tab (4) on the right end of the bezel and remove it from the unit.
To replace the bezel, hook the right end of the bezel onto the chassis. Then fit the left
side of the bezel onto the unit.
Secure the bezel with the key lock.
3. On the front panel of the Server, press the power button.
As the system boots up the indicator window will display “booting”.
The system will open as a Windows
®
system.

unit power supplies.
(Follow local electrical indoor and outdoor safety codes.)

the system
(relay outputs, alarm inputs, microphones, etc.)
4. Install optional infrastructure for analog cameras (BNC cabling to encoders, etc.)
