NVR Operation Explained
Camera Setup
Camera
Cameras are the fundamental building blocks of surveillance systems. This section describes
how to:
1. Add or delete camera/ video server to NVR system
2. Sort through the various methods of connection to your camera/ video server.
3. Fine tune device through the Advanced Setting tab.
4. Configure camera groups, frame rates and other settings.
5. Save setup time by copying settings across cameras.
Each camera is configured separately. You should first select a camera to access its settings.
Add New Camera
There are two ways to add devices into the system, auto or manual. Use auto search if your
cameras are located in the same subnet as your NVR server. If your cameras / video servers
are located outside of local subnet or if you are unable to find it via auto search, then please
use connect to it by Manual Add. You need to know the IP address of the device to add it
manually.
If you are just starting to use NVR and have no camera in your system, you will see the Add
New Camera screen automatically when you use active setup. If you already have devices in
your NVR system, then click “New” under the Camera tab to add new camera.
