PI Manufacturing NVR-K8510 is a powerful surveillance system for home and business security. It supports up to 8 cameras, allowing you to monitor multiple areas simultaneously. With features like motion detection, intelligent detection settings, sound and spotlight alarms, and push notifications, you'll be alerted to any suspicious activity. The NVR-K8510 also offers flexible recording options, including continuous, motion-triggered, and scheduled recording.

Camera Power

A full charge of the camera using a standard 5v 1A

USB-C charger is recommended before first use.

Keep the camera powered off. You can also do a

full charge using the solar panel.

Storage Installation

With the NVR powered off, install a blank 2.5” HDD

or SSD into the bottom SATA drive bay. A 2TB SSD

or above is recommended. Line up the SATA

connectors on both sides and slowly slide the drive

in. Make sure it is firmly seated. Put the cover on.

Power on the NVR and create a login. Write down

your login.

Go into the System Settings → Storage menu and

format the drive.

Adding a camera to the NV R

In the NVR, go to “System Settings” → “Camera

Setup”

Bring the camera over to the NVR.

Push and briefly hold the power button on the

bottom of the camera. There will be a chime when

the camera is powered on. If no chime, make sure

the camera is off, and then power on again.

After a few seconds, the camera should

automatically show up in the listing. Review the

listing to see if the camera was added.

After you have added the camera, you can mount

the camera and connect power. Connect solar to

the camera through the weatherproof port cover on

the camera. Make sure the USB cable and the port

cover are firmly seated. The solar panel should be

angled perpendicular to the sun, as much as

possible.

Check that the camera is connected in the NVR

camera menu.

We can now adjust recording settings. Highlight the

camera in the camera menu.

“Best recording” is motion event recording without

time limit.

“Intelligent detection settings” is motion settings.

“Sound alarm” will use the camera speakers as an

alarm during an event.

“Spotlight alarm” will trigger the camera spotlight

during an event.

“Push notification” is for app notifications.

“Alarm period” is the recording schedule.

Click on “Best recording”

“Best recording” will detect a motion event and

continue to record the clip until the motion has

stopped. There is no time limit on the clip length.

“Best power saving” will limit clip length, along with

an optional sleep period after each recording. If the

camera is not able to get full sun or there are a lot

of events, you may choose this option to save

battery.

“Recording only humanoid images” is the toggle for

PIR. If on, recording will be triggered by PIR

detection, not motion. If off, recording will be

triggered by motion (or also triggered by PIR.)

If settings were changed, click “Save Changes” and

return to the camera menu.

Click on “Intelligent detection settings”

Motion detection is active on the entire image by

default. If you want to exclude areas, choose

“Custom detection area” and highlight active areas.

Motion sensitivity can be adjusted up or down.

Click “Save Changes” and return to the camera

menu.

Night Spotlight and IR

Select a channel in live view.

In the live view with a live video stream playing,

click on the image setting icon in the bottom left.

You can choose to use the spotlight at night (“Full

color”) or use the IR only (“Infrared night vision”).

Scheduling

Click on “Alarm period setting”

By default, the schedule is 24/7 for motion and PIR

detection.

Network Setup

(Optional) Connect a network cable to the back of

the NVR. The network setting is DHCP by default,

and should connect to the router automatically.

If you need to set a static address, go to the

Network menu and click on “DHCP” and set a static

address.

(Optional) For using a Wi-Fi connection, go to the

Network menu wireless tab, click “Open” → “Select

Wi-Fi network”, select an access point, and enter

the wifi password.

Network Status

You can check the Diagnostics menu for NVR

network and cloud status.

Playback

Go into the “Playback” menu.

Select a single channel. (If you see the message

“There are no video recordings in this time” just

click “OK” to continue.)

Select a calendar date.

Here, we selected camera 2 and SEPT 19

Video for the channel on that day will show on the

timeline.

Place the cursor on a video segment, and it will

automatically start playing.

To backup this video, click on “Export Video”

Backup video to USB

During playback, click on “Export Video”

Have ready a USB storage device that is empty and

formatted to FAT32 or ExFAT. A brand new flash

drive will likely be compatible. The drive does not

need to be connected yet.

First click on “Export”

A message about “USB Storage Is Not Found” will

appear.

Swap out the mouse for the USB drive.

Backup should continue by itself when the USB

drive is detected.

Wait until the backup has fully completed.

After the USB drive is done writing, you can swap

the mouse back in.

Troubleshooting

If a camera can no longer connect, it may not have

power. Check that the solar panel cable is firmly

seated. Fully charge the camera using a USB

charger and power it on again. Check for camera

connection in “Camera Diagnostics”

Power on the camera near the NVR.

If the camera connection is inconsistent, make sure

the antennas are aligned. Minimize obstacles

between the NVR and camera. Minimize the

distance between the NVR and cameras.

You try to use another wireless channel under

“Network” → “Camera Wireless Network”
