Extend WIFI Range

Wireless connection is easy and convenient, but it’s not universal application. Because of the character of WIFI, the WIFI signal will decrease when going through some obstacles Some methods can be applied to bypass obstacles and extend WiFi range.

Position The Antenna Correctly

WIFI range is like an apple and the antenna of NVR is in the center of it.WIFI signal is strong all around the WIFI range.Antenna of NVR should be put straight up,if not,WIFI signal will be weak.
According to the signal transmission character of antenna, the antenna of cameras should overlap or parallel to NVR WIFI range,as pictures showed below:

Use Antenna Extension Cord to prolong WIFI distance

Installation method of antenna extension cord

Note:When WIFI signal is not strong enough against walls,users can take off the original antenna and subtitute antenna extension cord.Drill a hole on the wall to let the extension cord go through and simply it where WIFI signal is strong.

Set up cascading connection in a reasonable solution,extend wifi signal transfer distance

Note:
Repeater function can’t strengthen WIFI signal for wireless NVR kit, but can extend the distance by repeaters→WIFI cameras.

Only when the repeater cameras and repeated cameras are positioned correctly,WIFI distance will be extended.

Repeater function and 3 meters antenna extension cord are two methods to extend WIFI range.
Users can choose one according to real situation.

Repeater Setup

Step 1. Right click the NVR mouse,and choose “Video Manage”- -then left click Repeater”

Step 2. Add repeater
As picture shown below,click icon + besides channel 3,choose other channel.

Step 3. As picture shown below, it means IPC1 is connected to NVR through IPC2 and IPC3.
IPC2 is connected to NVR through IPC3.IPC3 is connected to NVR directly.

Step 4. Click “Apply” and then click “refresh” to check if the setting is successful.

Delete Repeater

Move the mouse to targeted channels,left click to delete,and then click “Apply” and “OK”.

Application Example

As picture shown above, when IPCAM1 is put somewhere is out of NVR WIFI range,and there is IPCAM2 between them with strong WIFI signal,users can put IPCAM1 close to NVR and power it, setup IPCAM1 repeated by IPCAM2, and then install IPCAM1 to the presupposed place.

Camera add failure reasons and solutions

Q1: Failed to add the camera for the first time

Check whether the green light of the camera flashes normally. If the camera status light is not flashing green, use a thimble to lightly insert the configuration hole or long press the reset button until the camera indicator flashes.

Q2: Determine whether the binding failure caused by the router settings

1. The router has been set up to prevent Wi-fi squatter If the Wi-Fi connected to the camera is set to prevent Wi-fi squatter(black and white lists, MAC address filtering, etc.), the camera will not be able to connect to the Internet. The router’s prevent Wi-fi squatter settings need to be canceled.

2. The router is set up with 5GHz band wireless WiFi The camera does not currently support the connection of 5G band WiFi. Please open the router management page (generally marked with the address of the management page on the bottom label of the router), select the wireless setting 2.4GHz, and set it to on.

Q3: Check whether the mobile phone prohibit the permission of  EseeCloud to use data, WLAN, GPS

Domestic Android phones may prohibit the use of data, WLAN, GPS permissions for this application, resulting in the camera being unable to connect to WiFi. Solution (Android phone): Open the phone settings center-click “application management”-open the above permissions

Q4: Make sure that the WilFi account and password are filled in correctly

It is likely that the Wi-Fi account and password you connected to the camera are incorrect, resulting in the camera not being able to connect to the network. In particular, pay attention to whether there is a space input, and try to avoid complex and uncommon symbols.

Q5: Other questions

1. If the router is set to bridge mode, the WiFi signal will be unstable, causing the connection to fail. It is not recommended to use WiFi in bridge mode when the camera is networked.

2. If you are a campus / enterprise user and the school 1 company assigns each student / employee a static IP to access the Internet, you can manually enter the static IP information to access the Internet.At present, this situation is not supported by camera networking, need to select other available WiFi connections.

3. The camera does not support WPA / WPA2’s “enterprise” encryption method to connect the camera to the network. Support WEP, WPA–PSK 1 WPA2–PSK, or corporate WiFi without password. If the camera is networked in the corporate network environment, please confirm in advance whether the WiFi encryption method meets the camera networking requirements.

What should do if the camera is offline?

Q1: Camera offline processing method

1. Check whether your device is power-on and the status light is on;
2. If you are using WIFI connection, please confirm whether you have modified the WIFI in the environment where the device is located-including the WIFI password and name, if modified, please reconfigure WIFl;
3. If the reason cannot be resolved, please restore the factory settings and add the network again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question one：After installation, open the CMS and display “Cannot load plugin”?

Answer one：

1.Please confirm whether the installation path uses Chinese when installing, and the plugin is temporarily not compatible with Chinese path.

2.After confirming the non-Chinese path, if the problem persists, you can contact technical support for assistance.

Question two：After connecting multiple channels of video (more than 30 channels), videos stop for a few seconds , all channels are automatically disconnected into the black screen. The device connected again has no response. Do we need to restart the CMS?

Answer two：The new version of CMS3.0.1 runs with higher memory. If you connect many channels by the lower configuration computer, the computer system will run out of memory, causing the CMS to run abnormally. If the computer configuration is slightly lower, it is recommended not to connect too many channels. The optimization work has been planned for this situation.

Question three：When CMS is installed on the OSX system, it displays “File is corrupted” or “Unable to open” when it is opened?

Answer three：

1.Open “System Settings” → “Security and Privacy” → “Allow applications to be downloaded in the following location”, check “any source” (applies to versions prior to OSX10.12.X);

2.Open “Terminal”, enter the string “sudo spctl –master-disable”, press the “Enter” key, enter the sudo password (applicable to versions after OSX10.12.X). If the above method still does not work, please contact us to help you solve it.

Question four：After starting a window and flashing, it will not start or XP will appear. Open the software to indicate 0a00000000 memory referenced by 0x00000000 instruction. The memory cannot be ‘written’.

Answer four：Large probability video card driver problem, update the graphics card driver can solve

Question five：It shows  mfc100u.dll lost when opening computer

Answer five：Install VC++2010 library to solve the problem

Cloud storage details

Features

1. What is cloud storage? The cloud storage function is a video storage function developed based on technologies such as moving object detection. Cloud storage is divided into two types: alarm recording and full-day recording. Alarm recording refers to triggering the camera alarm when someone passes by or moves in front of the camera. The camera will automatically record and upload it to the Cloud Space Security Center for encryption. You can use it with confidence.  

 Tips:  

 (1) As long as you purchase the cloud storage service, you can get the corresponding cloud space. For example, if you purchase the cloud deposit monthly package, the cloud space is valid for one month, and it will take effect from the successful purchase. 

(2) The storage time of cloud storage video is determined by the type of package. If you open the cloud storage package for 7 days, the camera cloud video storage period is 7 days. The 30-day cloud storage package will be opened, and the camera cloud video storage cycle will be upgraded to 30 days. If you open a 7G/month cloud storage package, then your cloud recording storage space is 7G in this month. After the space is full, the cloud recording will not be saved. The stored video will be saved for one month.  

 2. What are the advantages of cloud storage? The video is safer: the video cloud storage can not steal, safe and reliable. More efficient viewing: generate alarm video in real time, quickly grasp the alarm situation, the video is clear and smooth without jamming Cloud storage: Camera video is stored in cloud space, no space limit, and unlimited cloud storage space.

Cloud deposit purchase and exchange

1. How to buy a cloud storage package?
Click the device list device “Cloud Record” button or the personal center “Cloud Mall” – enter the “Cloud Mall” interface – click “Switch” to select the device you want to purchase and the device channel – automatically select the appropriate package for you after the selection is completed – click ” Buy now” Once the payment is complete, you can turn on device cloud storage.
Tips:
(1) Cloud deposit does not support return and exchange after purchase, and does not support refund;
(2) The purchase channel of the device is determined by the number of package service channels of the system. If the system has only two packages with service channels 1 and 3, then the device can only select 1 or 3 purchase channels;
(3) Cloud storage is only bound to the purchase user. The device with the cloud storage is deleted and added to the new account. Under the new account, the device will not be able to continue to enjoy the cloud storage;
(4) Cloud storage is purchased by a single device and device channel, and multiple devices and multiple channels need to correspond to multiple cloud storage packages;

2. How to redeem the cloud storage package?
Click the device list device “Cloud Record” button or the personal center “Cloud Mall” – enter the “Cloud Mall” interface – click “Use Cloud Saver Code” – enter the “Scan Redemption Code” interface, scan the valid redemption code – enter the ” redemption code” Payment interface” – select the device and channel to be redeemed – click ” redeem now” to complete the redemption

Tips:
(1) The number of channels for redemption Device is determined by the number of package service channels generated by the redemption code (if the service channel of the redemption code package is 4, then the device can only select 4 channels to purchase);
(2) There is no charge for redeeming the code cloud storage package using the redemption code, and each redemption code can only be used once;

Cloud video introduction

 Cloud recording is divided into two types: alarm recording and full-day recording.

Alarm recording, the video will only be uploaded when the camera detects that someone has passed, the item has been moved, and the camera alarm is triggered.

Recording all day means that the camera will automatically record when it is online and in good condition. It will be detected 24 hours a day and encrypted and uploaded to the cloud space.

The cloud video is lost when the device is deleted, the device uploads the cloud video, and the device is disconnected from the network. The device and the server are disconnected. The device network bandwidth is insufficient and the device cannot upload video and video.

After purchasing the cloud storage package, the cloud recording function will be automatically enabled.

You can click the “Cloud Recording” button corresponding to the device list to enter the cloud recording interface. Click the cloud storage service icon to enter the “Cloud Storage Service” – disable the cloud recording function.

Tips: After the cloud recording function is turned off, the validity period of the cloud storage will not be extended;

Cloud retention period

1.Cloud deposit validity period
Cloud deposits take effect from the date of purchase, that is, the validity period of cloud deposits is: “at the time of purchase” to “the same time point after one month / one year later”. For example, the cloud deposit package of 7 days/month was purchased at 0:00 on April 1, 2019, and the validity period of the cloud deposit is a natural month. It is: 0:00 on April 1, 2019, and O:00 on May 1, 2019.

Tips: The validity period of the channel cloud is the sum of the time of all the cloud storage packages in the channel. For example, channel 1 purchased two 7-day/ month cloud storage packages at 0:00 on April 1, 2019, then the cloud storage validity period is: 0:00 on April 1, 2019, and June 1, 2019. 0:00 on the day.

2. Can the cloud validity period be suspended?
Cloud storage is timed from the date of purchase, and will not stop during the time. after the user purchases the cloud storage, the action of deleting or stopping the uploading of the video can not affect the cloud expiration time

Cloud storage renewal

1. How to renew the cloud deposit package?
(1) Conditions for cloud surviving fee: The current device has purchased the cloud storage channel to purchase or renew the cloud storage package;
(2) Process of cloud surviving fee: Click the device “Cloud Recording” to enter the cloud recording interface click the “Cloud Storage Service” icon to enter the cloud storage service – select the channel to renew the fee – click the “Renew Now” button below to enter the cloud mall interface – Select the channel and package for renewal of the device – click on the renewal fee immediately to complete the renewal.

Tips: When you are renewing, if the renewal plan are using the package and the other channels of the package meet the renewal conditions, it will default to select previous package and channel.

Cloud storage migration

1. Unbound cloud service migration

(1) Conditions for migrating cloud services: The current account has a cloud storage service of unbound devices;

(2) Migration cloud service process:
After the device is added successfully, if the device meets the service migration conditions, the migration prompt box is displayed. After confirming, select the service that needs to be migrated to the newly added device, and click “Migration”.

If the device is a single-channel device, the device migrates directly to the device list interface. If the device is a multi-channel device, you need to select the number of channels equal to the number of services to migrate.

2. Offline device cloud service migration
(1) Offline device cloud service migration conditions: the current account has offline devices that have been bound to the cloud service;
(2) Migration process:
After the device is successfully added, if the device meets the service migration criteria, the migration prompt box is displayed. After the determination, the device iumps to the miaration interface.

b. Select an offline device to migrate. If the offline device is multi channel, you need to select the migrated device channel.

► Extend Wireless Range

Wireless connection is simple and convenient, but wireless is not a panacea! Because of the nature of wireless, decided in some complicated scenarios, there is a signal attenuation after passing through the obstacle.Following Some methods can circumvent obstacles and increase the signal transmission distance.

p Position the Antenna Correctly

As can be seen from the gain graph of the rod antenna below,The signal coverage of the antenna is similar to an apple. The antenna is located in the center of the apple and surrounds the antenna.The signal is strong, and the upper and lower ends of the antenna are recessed, and the signal is weak.

5dB 3dB

Rod antenna gain vs. coverage

According to the transmission characteristics of the antenna to the signal, in order to ensure the optimal image transmission effect of the wireless set, Claim:

ft NVR and IPC antennas should be placed in high places, not on the walls, metal, Obstructions such as glass affect the signal to diverge outward.

ft The antenna of IPC should be placed in parallel with the NVR antenna to maximize the respective radiation direction angles.In contrast, the maximum coverage of the signal is formed, as shown in the following figure.

Notes: When wireless signal is not strong enough against walls, users can take off the original antenna and subtitute antenna extension cord. Drill a hole on the wall to let the extension cord go through and simply put it where wireless signal is strong.

> set up cascading connection in a reasonable solution, extend wifi signal transfer distance

Note:

ft Repeater function can’t strengthen wireless signal for wireless NVR kit, but can

extend the distance by repeaters>wireless cameras.

ft Only when the repeater cameras and repeated cameras are positioned correctly, wireless distance will be extended.

ft Repeater function and 3 meters antenna extension cord are two methods to
extend wireless range. Users can choose one according to real situation.

> Repeater Setup

Step 1. Right click on NVR’S GUI, left click “video management”^ then left click “repeater”

Step 2. Add repeater

As picture shown below, click icon + besides channel 3, choose other channel.

Step 3. As picture shown below, it means IPC1 is connected to NVR through IPC2 and IPC3. IPC2 is connected to NVR through IPC3. IPC3 is connected to NVR directly.

Step 4. Click “Apply” and then click “refresh” to check if the setting is successful.

5.5.3 Configure Recording Parameter

Steps

1. Go to Configuration ^ Record ^ Parameter .
2. Configure recording parameters.

Main Stream

Main stream refers to the primary stream that affects data recorded to the hard disk drive and will directly determine your video quality and image size. Comparing with the sub­stream, the main stream provides a higher quality video with higher resolution and frame rate.

Sub-Stream

Sub-stream is a second codec that runs alongside the mainstream. It allows you to reduce the outgoing internet bandwidth without sacrificing your direct recording quality. Sub-stream is often exclusively used by smartphone applications to view live video. Users with limited internet speeds may benefit most from this setting.

Frame Rate

Frame rate refers to how many frames are captured each second. A higher frame rate is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality throughout.

Resolution

Image resolution is a measure of how much detail a digital image can hold: the greater the resolution, the greater the level of detail. Resolution can be specified as the number of pixel­columns (width) by the number of pixel-rows (height), e.g.,1024×768.

Bitrate

The bit rate (in Kbit/s or Mbit/s) is often referred to as speed, but actually defines the number of bits/time unit and not distance/time unit.

C® Note

Higher resolution, frame rate, and bitrate provide you better video quality, but it also requires more internet bandwidth and uses more storage space on the hard disk drive.

   • 1. Configure Recording Parameter

Main stream refers to the primary stream that affects data recorded to the hard disk drive and will directly determine your video quality and image size. Comparing with the sub-stream, the main stream provides a higher quality video with higher resolution and frame rate.

Sub-stream is a second codec that runs alongside the mainstream. It allows you to reduce the outgoing internet bandwidth without sacrificing your direct recording quality. Sub-stream is often exclusively used by smartphone applications to view live video. Users with limited internet speeds may benefit most from this setting.

Steps

1. Go to Configuration ^ Record ^ Parameter to configure camera main stream and sub-stream parameters.
2. Configure recording parameters.

Frame Rate

Frame rate refers to how many frames are captured each second. A higher frame rate is advantageous when there is movement in the video stream, as it maintains image quality throughout.

Resolution

Image resolution is a measure of how much detail a digital image can hold: the greater the resolution, the greater the level of detail. Resolution can be specified as the number of pixel­columns (width) by the number of pixel-rows (height), e.g.,1024×768.

Bitrate

The bit rate (in kbit/s or Mbit/s) is often referred to as speed, but actually defines the number of bits/time unit and not distance/time unit.

Enable H.264+

The H.264+ mode helps to ensure the high video quality with a lowered bitrate. It can effectively reduce the need of bandwidth and HDD storage space.

Audio Source

The audio input signal source. If you select Audio Source as Camera Audio, it will transmit audio via coaxial cable, and make the local audio input signal unavailable. Ensure the camera supports to transmit audio via coaxial cable before selecting Audio Source as Camera Audio.

An IP camera can be directly connected to your network or computer and there are three ways to do this. The three ways listed below do not require an NVR. An NVR or Network Video Recorder is the device to which IP cameras are connected. The NVR records the video provided by the IP cameras to a HD (720p, 1080p), 2K HD or 4 Ultravah (4K) hard drive, depending on the type of NVR and the type of camera used with it.

Although IP cameras are network-based cameras, they do not require Internet access to be used as they are stand-alone devices that can be used on a local network. A simple local network can be one of the following:

1. An IP network camera connected with a network cable to your desktop computer’s network port.
2. An IP camera connected to a router connected to a desktop or laptop computer, but the router is not connected to the internet.

However, if you want to view your system remotely from the internet, you must connect the system to the Internet.

Do I need an NVR for IP security camera system?

An NVR is not required to view your network cameras or even record video. If you are testing cameras, looking for a temporary setup, or want to set up something cheap, you can use a computer with an IP camera to create a good alternative to an NVR. SmartPSS is our computer software program that allows PCs to view and record IP cameras. However, this type of processing will demand a lot from computers. Most likely, you will not be able to use this computer for personal use as it will be congested to process video from high resolution IP network cameras. Also, computers can be unreliable and crash, potentially leaving you without the recorded video.

NVR products are stand-alone devices using a Linux operating system known to be robust and accident-free, designed to operate 24/7 and protect system security with user account access permissions. For a complete security camera system, you’ll want to use an NVR along with the cameras. The SmartPSS software can be used as a client software for viewing cameras connected to and connected to the NVR from a PC and playing / downloading recorded security footage.

Three ways to connect the IP camera to a computer

Before we begin, it is important to understand that network camera systems require the ability to carry video and power to function properly. Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that transmits video / data signal and power over an Ethernet cable. In cases where PoE is not available, a 12V DC power adapter will be required to power the camera.

Second, you will need to use the IP finder Config Tool to find the cameras on your network. To learn more about the basic knowledge of how IP addresses matter when using network cameras, please read our guide on connecting security cameras to the internet.

Let’s now discuss three ways to connect an IP camera from your computer.

1) 12V DC power adapter directly into a PC with a network cable

a) For this method, we will power the camera using a 12V DC 1amp power adapter that plugs into a 110V AC outlet. Below is the picture of the reliable power adapter.

b) Next, connect a network cable from the camera to your computer.

c) Set your computer’s network port to a static IP address such as 192.168.1.200 so that you can talk to your camera. How did you do this on Windows Computer:

d) Once you have a static IP address assigned to your computer’s wired network port, turn off WiFi on your computer. You can find the current IP address of the camera using the Configuration Tool as shown. Our test camera’s current IP address is 10.1.1.65. If you need to change the IP address to allow it to say 192.168.1.120, you can do so by clicking the pencil icon to edit it.

e) As explained in our article connecting security cameras to the Internet, for two devices in a network to talk to each other, they must have the same IP address scheme. In 1C we set our computer’s address to be 192.168.1.200, we will change the address of this camera to 192.168.1.X, where X is a number between 2 and 254 and is not the same as our computer’s current address. We chose 12, so below is a screenshot of setting your camera’s ip address if you’re following it in our guide. Set the subnet to 255.255.255.0 and the gateway to 192.168.1.1.

f) After you have changed your camera’s IP address to an IP address that matches your network, type your camera’s new IP address in the URL of internet explorer. Here is a short example:

You can also watch our camera using our PC software. Here is how SmartPSS is installed anyway.

In a nutshell, the above is a quick and easy way to connect an IP camera to a computer with a wired network port. This is great in the following scenarios:

• You don’t have a router and want to set up a closed loop system between a computer and a security camera.
• You are trying to test or troubleshoot an IP camera.
• You are trying to connect to a security video recorder directly from a computer.

Most computers only have one network port; Therefore, this method can be problematic as it will only use your network port and cannot provide a wired Internet connection. The next 2 methods will show you how to set up a network camera on the network. Method 2 is for setting up a camera with a 12V DC power supply and Method 3 involves using a PoE injector or switch. The only difference between these two methods is how the camera power is delivered.

2) 12V DC power + router network cable to camera

This method will show you how to connect the IP camera to your router and view it over a network and power the camera using a 12V DC power adapter.

a) Connect a 12V DC power supply to your camera and connect the power adapter to the wall to power the camera.

b) Connect a network (Ethernet) cable from the camera to the router to establish a data connection between the camera and the router.

c) The camera takes about 2-3 minutes to boot. Use our IP Finder Configuration Tool to find the camera on your local area network (LAN). Below is a screenshot showing how it came to our case.

The camera currently has an IP address of 10.1.1.65. As explained in our article that connects security cameras to the internet, the IP address must match your network’s IP scheme in order for the camera to be accessed from your network computer. In our case, the router is IP 192.168.1.1, so we will have to change the IP address of the camera. To change the IP simply press the pencil icon to edit.

d) We will set the camera to an IP of 192.168.1.X, we chose 192.168.1.12. Before we go ahead and change the IP address, we have to consider duplicate IP addresses that will create network communication problems on the network. To see if a specific IP address is available on your LAN, use the command prompt in Windows to ping the address you want to use   . Below is a video explaining how to use the ping command. You can also use this command on Mac in the terminal.

e) Let’s change the IP address. In our case, we set it to 192.168.1.12. In simple networks, usually the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is the gateway router’s IP address. Press the OK button.

f) Once the camera has been assigned a new IP address, you can access the camera using your Web Browser or SmartPSS as shown in 1F above.

3) Camera – PoE Switch or PoE Injector

We discussed that PoE powers the camera and that a 12V power adapter is not required in this scenario.

In this method, you plug an Ethernet cable into the PoE port on a PoE switch or injector that is compatible with the camera. PoE switch or injector connects to router.

Here’s how you connect to a PoE switch.

Here’s how you connect to a PoE injector

Again, use the Config Tool to find your camera’s IP address and change it to match your network layout as described in steps 2C to 2E (if needed). Once the camera is on the same network as your computer, you can login and view the camera as shown in Step 1F.

summary

At this point, you should now know a good amount about the network and have followed  the above-mentioned steps to make your own IP camera system using your computer and IP camera  .

Requirements

• 1. Powered NVR or HCVR
• 2. PoE Switch
• 3. PoE IP Camera
• 4. 2 Ethernet Cables

Step by Step Setup

1. Plug the Ethernet cable into the powered NVR or HCVR, then plug the other side into powered PoE switch. Now plug the second Ethernet cable into IP Camera’s harness and plug the other side of the cable into the PoE switch. Make sure if you are using new cameras to plug them in one at a time to avoid an IP conflict since most cameras out of the box come with a 192.168.1.108 address. Having several devices on the same address disables any IP functionality, therefore you cannot change the IP address in order to gain functionality.

2. Now go into the NVR or HCVR’s MAIN MENU and select CAMERA under SETTINGS.

3. Under REMOTE on the left hand column, and the Remote Devices tab select Device Search. Notice that if you are connecting a new IP camera into a PoE switch the IP address should be 192.168.1.108.

4. Try to add this camera

5. If the NVR is on another Default Gateway IP then you will notice that the camera feed will not be online. Now Select the network tab under SETTINGS. If the feed is online skip to step 10.

6. Notice on this page the IP settings for the NVR are different than the IP Camera. This is why the IP camera has a red status symbol:

• IP Camera – 192.168.1.108 (default gateway 192.168.1.1)
• NVR – 172.16.13.115 (default gateway 172.16.13.1)

The default gateway and the first 3 segments of the IP addresses do no match.

7. Delete the camera from Added Device(s). Now select the modify icon.

8. In the IP Settings menu match the IP Camera’s settings with the NVR or HCVR’s IP Settings:

• Default user name – admin
• Default password – admin
• IP Camera – 172.16.13.55
• Subnet Mask – 255.255.255.0
• Default Gateway – 172.16.13.1

Now click save.

9. The Message should prompt a successful IP modification, click OK.

10. The IP camera is now working with the recorder. The default gateway and the first 3 segments of both device’s IP addresses now match. At the end of the IP address you can select any number from 2-254 if it is not already taken. Although, if there is a DHCP server on the LAN, you will need to match it’s default gateway and IP addressing settings.

11. Check if the camera feed is live.

<p>The post Add IP Camera to POE Switch first appeared on NVR IPCAMERA SECURITY.</p>

The picture below shows 4 IP cameras connected to the NVR.

The process is straightforward; you can use the IPC Channel menu to do that.

You can have your IP cameras up and running in less than 5 minutes.

To have your IP cameras working in a Zosi NVR, the first thing you need to do is connect the UTP (network) cables that come in the Kit to the NVR PoE Ports.

The following picture shows the PoE ports at the back of the NVR.

Once you’ve done that, you can just plug the power supply, a mouse, and a monitor to the NVR and use the IPC channel menu to search and add the IP cameras.

Right-click the mouse and select “IPC Channel Config” on the floating menu.

The IPC channel menu comes up.

On the right side, there’s an empty area where the IP cameras are going to show up as soon as you click the search button and wait for the NVR to look for them.

The NVR takes some seconds to look for the camera that is connected to its PoE ports. Just wait for this process to finish.

As soon as the NVR finds the IP cameras, you just need to select the one you want to add, input the username and password (default admin/admin), and click “Add“.

As you can see in the picture, camera number 4 was added to the NVR.

And it’s done.

Now, you just need to come back to the main screen to see the camera.
