Use Your Camera with an NVR
The camera works with an NVR for easier batch access and management. Here we
use a VIGI NVR as an example.
-
Connect your cameras to the same network as your NVR (as shown above).
-
Power on your cameras with the PoE power supply or an external power supply.
Note: The camera’s standard power supply is 12V DC or PoE (802.3af/at). The power source should meet LPS or PS2 requirements according to IEC 62368-1. -
Add your cameras with the NVR.
Before you start, make sure the NVR is working properly. Then add your camera with the NVR.
- Go to the NVR management page, right-click on the screen, and click Add Camera.
- Select your camera and click + to add your camera directly. If you have disabled Plug & Play on your NVR, create a password or use a preset password for your camera.
Done! You can now view live video and manage cameras.
Using your cameras with other NVR brands
- Power on your cameras and connect them to the network.
- Activate the camera using the VIGI Security Manager or VIGI app (refer to the next section).
