How to Add Reolink Cameras to Reolink PoE NVR

Reolink PoE NVR allows you to record videos for Reolink IP cameras without using a computer. To do that, you need to add the camera to the NVR first. The cabling for PoE NVR is shown below.

poe-nvr-connection.png

Applies to: All Reolink IP cameras (excluding battery-powered cameras) and PoE NVRs with the hardware version H3MB02/H3MB16

You may then follow the steps below to add Reolink cameras to Reolink PoE NVR.

Step 1. Connect your Reolink IP cameras to the Reolink PoE NVR. There’re two different ways of powering your IP cameras:

 PoE cameras with PoE NVR

There are two ways of connection:

 a. Connect the PoE cameras to the PoE NVR directly via an Ethernet cable. (suggested way)

 b. Alternatively, you can power on this camera by a /injector and connect to your router, then add this camera to the POE NVR system in the same local network.

 WiFi cameras with PoE NVR

All Reolink WiFi cameras (except for battery-powered cameras) can be used with Reolink PoE NVRs, too. You need to connect them in LAN, the connection diagram is as below:

Wi-Fi Camera to PoE NVR

Note: Make sure all the IP cameras you want to add to the NVR are connected to the same network (LAN) as the NVR. Otherwise, the cameras won’t be shown on the scanned list and cannot be automatically added to the NVR.

Step 2. Log in to your NVR, and go to the IP channel.

Step 3. Select Auto Add, and click Scan so that all the cameras in the same LAN can be automatically shown on the list.

Note: The number of cameras that can be added to the NVR may vary depending on the NVR channel numbers of the NVR.

Step 4. If you have never changed the password of the IP cameras (the default password of the IP camera is blank) and there are enough channels for all the cameras, you may click Apply to add all the IP cameras to the NVR.

auto-add.png

However, if you have changed the login passwords of the IP cameras or there is no spare channel to display all the IP cameras, you may need to go through a few more steps.

Step 5. If you have an 8-channel NVR and more than 8 IP cameras, please choose the 8 of them you want to add to the NVR and manually change the other cameras’ Channel to None.

Note: You may assign the IP cameras to any channel you want, but you cannot have two cameras on the same channel, otherwise configurations would fail to be saved.

select-channels.png

Step 6. If you have changed the User Name and the Password of your cameras, please drag the menu bar to the password column and use the soft keyboard to input the required information.

Step 7. Click Apply to save and apply the configuration.

Here is a video to show how to add WiFi cameras to PoE NVR:

Note:

RLN8-410 (with the hardware version H3MB02) and RLN16-410 (with the hardware version H3MB02 and H3MB16) don’t work with 8MP cameras including B800/D800. The 4k cameras can only work with RLN8-410-E (with the hardware version H3MB16 and H3MB18) and RLN16-410 (with the hardware version H3MB18). And only the RLN8-410(H3MB18, N3MB01) and RLN16-410 (H3MB18) support the Human/Vehicle detection function.

Cause 3. The voltage is not sufficient.

Solution: Unplug the cameras. If the NVR power LED goes on, please replug the camera back one by one. 
For more information, please check 
POE NVR Failed to Be Power on.

 NVR is freezing on the Reolink logo page

When you connect the NVR via a monitor and start up the NVR, the NVR is freezing on the Reolink Logo Page. There are several possible causes for the issue. You may follow the troubleshooting tips listed below to solve the problem. 
.

Cause 1. HDD issue

Solution: Please unplug the HDD and check if the NVR will power on when no HDD is plugged in. You may open the NVR housing and refer to How to Change the HDD for Reolink NVR to remove the HDD.

Cause 2. The voltage is not sufficient. 

Solution: Unplug the cameras that are connected to the NVR and check if the NVR can boot up.

Cause 3. Firmware issue

 

Solution: Please refresh the firmware using a USB drive. 

For more details, please check the article NVR is Freezing on the Reolink Logo Page.

 No video output on the monitor/TV

If there’s no video output on the monitor from Reolink NVR, you may follow the troubleshooting tips listed below to solve the problem. There are several possible causes for the problem.
.

Cause 1. The video output resolution of the NVR is not supported by the monitor/TV. 

Solution: Ensure that the lowest resolution of the TV/monitor is no less than 720p.

Cause 2. HDMI/VGA port on the NVR or the monitor/TV is defective. 

Solution: Check whether the cable is defective by using it to connect other devices to the router and see if it works. Or please test with another HDMI/VGA cable or monitor/TV. 
For more information, please check the article 
No Video Output on the Monitor/TV from Reolink NVR.

 

 NVR reboots automatically

If you found that the NVR is rebooting, below are some possible causes and solutions that you may refer to. 

Cause 1. UPS issue

Solution: If you use the UPS to power the NVR on, please plug the NVR directly into a wall socket and have it run for one or two days then check if the NVR reboots.

Cause 2. HDD issue

Solution: Please unplug the HDD and have the NVR run for one or two days then check if the NVR reboots. 

Cause 3: The cameras and the NVR are both grounded. 

Solution: Please unplug all the cameras from the NVR and have the NVR run on its own for one or two days and check if it still reboots (Please disable auto-reboot before you run the test). If the NVR doesn’t reboot, the issue may be caused by both the NVR and the cameras being grounded. Please check whether the cameras and the NVR are grounded. If yes, please unground either the NVR or the cameras to fix the issue. 

For more details, please refer to POE NVR Reboots Automatically.

 

 Failed to add PoE cameras to the NVR

Cause 1. No available channels

Solution: Delete the offline cameras from the IP channel, or manually assign a channel for the camera. 

Cause 2. The new camera is distributed with the same IP address as the other cameras. 

Solution: Please reset the camera and restore the NVR.

Cause 3. The camera shows “invalid password” or “incorrect username and password”. 

Solution: Put the password of the camera.

For more details, please refer to Fail to Add PoE Cameras to NVR.

 

 Failed to connect NVR in LAN

If you fail to connect the NVR through the network, below are some possible causes and solutions for your reference.
