After you finish adding IP cameras, you can see the live images through the monitor of the NVR. The following will mainly introduce how to add the IP cameras via LAN/WAN.

►LAN

①Set the network of the NVR. Go to Start → Settings → Network →TCP/IPv4. Input IP address, subnet mask, gateway, etc. If using DHCP, please enable DHCP in both the NVR and the router.

② Go to Start → Settings → Network → Port. Input HTTP port (the default value is 80), server port (the default port is 6036).

③ The internal ethernet port is the port which connects all the PoE ports with the NVR system. The PoE ports are available if the internal ethernet port is online; if it is offline, all the PoE ports will be unavailable. The IP address and subnet mask of the internal ethernet port can be changed to make the port in the same network segment with the IP cameras which directly connect to the PoE ports of the NVR.
