4 IP CAMERA CHANNEL
The IP CAMERA Channel menu enables you to view specific information about cameras that are
currently connected to your NVR such as channel number, IP address and status.
Auto-adding: If you check it, your NVR will automatically display video from cameras it has detected in
your local area network. This option is disabled by default, so you have to manually add the IP cameras to
your DVR.
IP Camera list: In this list, all the IP cameras in your local area network will be listed here automatically
after you click the button of Scan.
To add an IP camera to you NVR, please select an available channel to which you want to
assign a camera from the channel drop-down list, and then input the user name and password.
Also you can manually add an IP camera by inputting the IP address/port or RTSP URL, user
name and password into the list. When you’re finished, click the Apply button to save the new
configuration.
To delete an IP camera from your NVR, please select that IP camera and select none from the
channel drop-down list. When you’re finished, click the Apply button to save the new
configuration.
