Section 1 - Product Overview System Requirements Hardware Requirements Network Requirements • One or two 3.5” SATA hard disk drive(s)* • Broadband Internet connection (for remote access) • IP Camera(s) (refer to the D-Link website for a list of supported cameras) • Gigabit Ethernet switch or router Computer with the following: • Windows® 2000/XP/2003/Vista® • Pentium 4 - 2.
Section 1 - Product Overview Introduction DNS-722-4/DNS-726-4 is a standalone wired NVR (Network Video Recorder) which supports multi-channel network cameras with M-JPEG or MPEG4 recording using two high-speed 3.5-inch SATA hard disks (up to 3TB total capacity for extended recording). The NVR can record video directly sent from local and remote network cameras without the need for a dedicated PC. DNS-722-4 supports D-Link network cameras only.
Section 1 - Product Overview Features Comprehensive IP Surveillance Solution • Total Solution: The D-Link NVR is a standalone SATA RAID network video recorder capable of 24/7 recording without a PC. The NVR can manage multiple network cameras, providing direct access to view live video and play recorded data through the Internet from anywhere anytime. The device itself is compact in size and incorporates a physical security lock.
Section 1 - Product Overview Fully Functional Recording 1. Flexible Recording Schedule: Once cameras have been set up, a highly configurable scheduling system allows for continuous recording or recording during specifically allotted time frames. Each camera can be set to record independently at preset intervals. The DNS-726-4 also provides event recording based on specific triggers. 2.
Section 1 - Product Overview Powerful Event Management 1. Camera Status: The camera status page will show connection, recording, frame rate and bit rate information of each camera. Meanwhile, the estimated available recording time is also displayed for quick reference. 2. Flexible Event Management: Event setup is another key configuration of the NVR. The NVR can monitor all of the camera triggers from motion detection or digital input interface.
Section 1 - Product Overview Intelligent Playback 1. Smart Search: (DNS-726-4 only). Searching through recorded data can be tedious and frustrating. However, the NVR’s smart search function makes detecting notable events effortless. By selecting a target area on the video and setting search sensitivity, the smart search will traverse the video database based on specified search criteria to locate noteworthy events.
Section 1 - Product Overview Hardware Overview Front View Power Button Drive LED Drive LED Network Activity LED Power Button: Press once to power on the NVR.

Section 2 - Installation Hardware Installation Install New Hard Disk Drive Install the Hard Drives: 1. Please install at least one 3.5” SATA hard drive before turning on the NVR. Use the key to unlock the faceplate from the bottom of the NVR. 2. Slide the faceplate up until it unlatches from the device.
Section 2 - Installation 3. Once the faceplate is unlatched, pull it off the device, exposing the drive bays. 4. Insert a 3.5” SATA hard drive into an available drive bay. Make sure to align the drive connector to the SATA connector on the bottom edge inside the drive bay of the NVR. Gently push the drive in until it connects. When a drive is inserted properly, you will feel it “seat” into the connector. Some hard drives that are thin or oddly shaped may need to be guided carefully into position.
Section 2 - Installation 5. Attach the faceplate to the front of the device. 6. Lock the faceplate to secure the Hard Disks.
Section 2 - Installation Connect the Ethernet Cable Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the NVR. Connect the opposite end of this cable to a Gigabit Ethernet LAN port of a router or a switch, or directly to a computer. Connect the UPS (Optional) If you have a Universal Power Supply (UPS) that you would like to use with the NVR, you may connect it before powering the unit on. 1. Connect the USB cable from the UPS to the port on the back of the NVR. 2.
Section 2 - Installation Turn on the Power and Initialize the Hard Disk Push the power button at the front panel. The LED on the NVR will begin to blink. When you have a proper connection, wait about 60 seconds, the NVR power LED will stay steady and the Hard Disk and network LEDs will begin to blink. The NVR will initialize the Hard Disk to default settings. To change Hard Disk settings, please visit the SETUP page in the web-based configuration utility.

Appendix C - Technical Specifications Remark 1: An external SATA drive is required to store or share files. (Not included.) Remark 2: RAID1 mirroring requires the use of two internal SATA drives. To avoid data incompatibility in RAID 1 operation, use identical SATA drives from the same manufacturer. Formatted drive capacity for RAID 1 operation is dependant on the drive capacity of the lowest-sized drive. Some older generation SATA drives may not be compatible.
