4 Adding IP Cameras
This chapter mainly introduces how to connect multiple IP cameras through NVR. Once you finish adding
IP cameras, you can see the live images through the monitor of the NVR. For the PoE Channels, you just
need to directly connect the IP cameras to the device through PoE network ports. The live images will
display shortly after a successful connection is made. Of course, if there are free channels, you can
connect the IPC via WAN/ LAN network. For Mixed channels NVRs (Network channels + PoE Channels), you
may connect the designated IP Cameras directly to the NVR through the PoE network ports and then add
the IP cameras for the remaining channels into the NVR via WAN/LAN.
Note: Always connect the PoE Channels prior to thee WAN/LAN IP Camera connection. If a IP Camera will
be configured to a PoE channel, that channel will become occupied and will not display an IP camera
connected to it later.
Here we will introduce how to add cameras through WAN/LAN.
To add IP cameras via LAN:
Step 1: Please enter MenuIP Camera tab. Refer to Fig 4-1. Click “Search” button to search the devices in
the same network.
