1. The IP camera must support the ONVIF protocol.

2. The IP camera’s resolution had better equal to or lower than the resolution DVR.

3. The camera should be connected to the router, by cable, or by wifi. Therefore, a wireless camera is also OK.

 

Here are the steps:

1. Please use a network cable to connect the IP camera to the router, and connect the camera to the power source by adapter.

2. Connect the DVR to the same router by network cable.

3. Please enable ONVIF on the DVR at first. Log in to the DVR on a monitor/TV, go to Menu–Maintenance–System Service–ONVIF, check the box ‘Enable ONVIF‘, click ‘Apply.’

4. Please go to Menu – Camera – IP camera to refresh the IP list to find the wireless IP camera. If it finds the camera’s IP, click edit to input the camera’s password.

4. Click add. If the status is blue, it means the camera is connected successfully.
