Viewing the live camera feed from your Integrator Series Network Video Recorder, or NVR, through a mobile device is simple, and can be done in less than five minutes. If you have used our iMaxCam App you will find it’s very similar, but if you haven’t, that’s okay too.
As in the tutorial for iMaxCam, In this short tutorial we’ll be showing you how to setup your live security camera feed on your mobile device via the peer-to-peer, or P2P method, using a QR Code Scanning setup. Think of it as allowing your camera server and your mobile device to meet up and communicate together in the cloud, just by using a bar code your device can read. No Port-Forwarding or IT specialists needed.
On your NVR, rick click to login to the main menu. Then select “System”, then “Network”, then click the box marked “Enable DHCP”. This should allow all the forms to be automatic when you connect your device. If you would rather set your IP address manually, you can do that as well. Just leave the “Enable DHCP” box unchecked and you will be given an opportunity to set your IP address yourself.
In the setting page you’ll see the QR code. Leave that up on your screen, because you will need to scan it with your mobile momentarily.
On your mobile device, download the “EZView” App from your preferred app store.
Once downloaded, go ahead and open “EZView”. Select the main menu icon in the top left hand corner.
Then select “Devices”. This is where you can add new devices and manage existing ones.
Now that you have your device page open, you will need to add a new device. To do this, select the “+“ in the top right corner.
Select “Add By P2P” to change the registration mode.
Be sure to name your device (any name that works for you), then tap on the QR code icon to scan the QR code displayed on your monitor. Once you’ve done this, all of the information for your NVR should appear on your mobile, with exception of your user name and password. Go ahead and enter your login details there if prompted.
After Inputting the information above select “Start Live View” at the bottom of the page to complete the setup and begin viewing your camera’s live feed!
