AXIS NVR Manager
1. Connect to the NVR directly via a network cable or through the network and make sure that
power has been applied.
2. Start AXIS NVR Manager.
3. AXIS NVR Manager will automatically discover all NVRs that are in the same network. Note that
the NVR startup takes more than a minute and must be completed before it can be discovered.
Set the password
The default user name is “Administrator” and password is “password”. It is strongly recommended
that the Administrator password be changed at once to a strong password containing both upper
and lower case letters and numbers.
1. Select the NVR in the AXIS NVR Manager window.
2. Go to
Tools > Set Master Credentials.
3. Enter a strong password.
Network configuration
Network settings can be assigned either automatically or manually. Go to Tools > Network
Configuration
To access the NVR from behind a router UPnP™ must be enabled in AXIS NVR Manager. Check
Enable UPnP™ under Network Configuration . When enabling UPnP™, the NVR needs to be in the
subnet as your computer. Make sure that the router is UPnP™ capable and has UPnP™ enabled.
Caution:
For security reasons, enable UPnP™ in order to access the NVR via AXIS NVR Manager or
AXIS Camera Station only when the NVR is behind a router that requires NAT traversal.
Power Configuration
To configure how the NVR powers on, go Tools > Power Configuration. The AXIS Q8108-R can be
configured to power on automatically when external power is available, manually with the internal
power button, or when an external button is wired to an input port.
Note:
If power configuration is done incorrectly you might not be able to start the NVR. To
remedy this situation go to Resetting to the factory default settings, on page 11 and follow
the instructions.
