3. Camera Connection
The NVR will automatically detect and add ONVIF-compliant IP cameras connected to the same network. Ensure your IP cameras are powered on and properly configured on your network before attempting to add them to the NVR.
- Access the NVR's interface via the connected monitor and mouse.
- Navigate to the camera management section (refer to the on-screen menu).
- The NVR should list available IP cameras on your network. Select and add them as required.
Operating Instructions
Recording Modes
The NVR offers flexible recording options to suit your surveillance needs:
- 24/7 Continuous Recording: Records footage continuously throughout the day and night.
- Motion Recording: The NVR is triggered to record only when motion is detected by the connected cameras. This conserves storage space.
- Scheduled Recording: Set specific times or days for the NVR to record, allowing for customized recording schedules.
