    Applying Changes

    Make sure to hit “Apply” after you change a setting as when you leave that page your settings will revert to last save.

     
    		 Navigate to Main Menu and select Network settings

     

    By selecting the top box and the modify pencil

    you can change the IP settings.

     

    The image on the left shows the default settings,

    but you should consult a Network Admin regarding what address suits your requirement.


     
    		You can activate DHCP (as seen on the left)

    This means an address will automatically be assigned by the network

    Or choose a static address

    e.g.
    If the Gateway is: - - - 123.456.789.1

    & the Subnet Mask is:- - - 255.255.255.0

    The IP Addr. should be:- - - 123.456.789.[XXX]
    (where XXX is some number that tests available).

     

    and where the IP Address of the router 

    of that network is the same as the Gateway.
    (e.g. Telstra routers are 192.168.0.1)

    You may also want to change the IP Address of the

    switch ports, which you're cameras will be initialized to. 
    This address will be the gateway for any cameras attached directly to the NVR.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     
     

    Adding Cameras

    Camera Passwords

    If your cameras have already been initialized - but has an unknown password, 
    it is advised to factory default the cameras to an uninitialized state (See ‘How To’ Above) - even if it is inconvenient.

    If your cameras have already been initialized - but have a know password, 
    it is advised to change the password to the same as the NVR. 
    either via the web interface, or via the NVR.

    How to Login to Web Interface of an IP Camera

    There are two methods to connect to an IP camera's web interface, depending on how the camera is connected to the recorder. The reason to connect directly to the web interface, is to adjust specific settings that are unable to be setup from the recorder. Such as PTZ camera idle motion settings, and ANPR camera settings.

    Accessing Cameras that are directly connected to an NVR

    Delete

    Warning

    This option will only work if the NVR is on Black UI firmware and if the cameras are currently working on the NVR and have a green status on the camera list page. 
    If the NVR is on old firmware, or you are accessing the camera's web interface to fix an issue (e.g conf.LoginErrorNo-20, Account Locked, etc) you will need to use the POE switch option, but treat the NVR's inbuilt POE ports as a POE switch.

    When using a recorder with inbuilt PoE ports, the cameras that are connected will automatically get assigned an IP address from the recorder.
    In order to login to the camera, we first need to login to the NVR. This method works on recorders that are using the black user interface.

    1. Connect your computer to the same network as the recorder.
    2. If there is internet access, your computer should receive an IP address in the same IP address range of the recorder. If your computer does not receive an IP address or there is no modem/router, see the "Changing the IP address on a Windows Computer" section to statically assign an IP address in the same range as the recorders IP address.

    3. On the recorder, go to Main Menu > Network. Note down the IP address of the recorder.

    4. On the computer, open Internet Explorer and enter the IP address of the recorder.
    5. If the computer is able to see the recorder, you will see a login page. Enter the recorders username and password.
    6. Select Setting > Camera > Camera List.
    7. Next to each camera, there will be a  icon. Select the icon next to the camera you wish to connect to.
    8. A new page will open, bringing up the login page for the camera. Enter the username and password for the camera. Usually, the username is admin, and the password is the same as the recorder.

     

    Connecting to cameras that are connected via a PoE switch.

    This guide requires that the recorder and camera are already setup for network access. If the camera is not currently connected to the NVR, you may need to assign an IP address to your PC/Laptop Manually, see the "Changing the IP address on a Windows Computer" below to statically assign an IP address in the same range as the cameras IP address.

    Changing the IP address on a Windows Computer - If no Modem/Router is connected

    Follow the below steps to manually assign an IP address to a Windows computer, this will need to be done if the recorder/camera you are connecting to is not connected to a local network where DHCP is being assigned to devices.

    1. Open Settings.
    2. Select Network & Internet.

    3. Select Status, then Change Adapter Options.
       
    4. Right-click the network adapter you want to change the IP address for, and select Properties.
    5. Select the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) item.
    6. Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address in the same range as the device you are trying to access. (E.g when trying to access 192.168.1.108 use a IP address in the 192.168.1.x range.) Note: This cannot be the same as the device you are trying to connect to or any other device on the same network. Save your changes on both windows.
    7. Type the IP address of the device you are trying to access into the address bar of your web browser.
    8. Once finished configuring the device, change the adapter settings back to normal by following steps 1-6 and clicking Obtain an IP address automatically.
    1. Connect the computer to the same network as the cameras.

    2. Download the Config tool program.
    3. Once the download is complete, extract the zip file, and open the ConfigTool.exe file.
       
    4. Select the button, devices that are found on the network will be listed.
    5. Click the Web button next to the camera you would like to login to.
    6. A new page will open, bringing up the login page for the camera. Enter the username and password for the camera. Usually, the username is admin, and the password is the same as the recorder.

    How to fix 

    If you see this error, it means Camera Registration is trying to access your camera with the incorrect login information.

    1. Log into the camera's web interface

    How to log into the camera's web interface

    There are two methods to connect to an IP camera's web interface, depending on how the camera is connected to the recorder. The reason to connect directly to the web interface, is to adjust specific settings that are unable to be setup from the recorder. Such as PTZ camera idle motion settings, and ANPR camera settings.

    Accessing Cameras that are directly connected to an NVR

    Delete

    Warning

    This option will only work if the NVR is on Black UI firmware and if the cameras are currently working on the NVR and have a green status on the camera list page. 
    If the NVR is on old firmware, or you are accessing the camera's web interface to fix an issue (e.g conf.LoginErrorNo-20, Account Locked, etc) you will need to use the POE switch option, but treat the NVR's inbuilt POE ports as a POE switch.

    When using a recorder with inbuilt PoE ports, the cameras that are connected will automatically get assigned an IP address from the recorder.
    In order to login to the camera, we first need to login to the NVR. This method works on recorders that are using the black user interface.

    1. Connect your computer to the same network as the recorder.
    2. If there is internet access, your computer should receive an IP address in the same IP address range of the recorder. If your computer does not receive an IP address or there is no modem/router, see the "Changing the IP address on a Windows Computer" section to statically assign an IP address in the same range as the recorders IP address.

    3. On the recorder, go to Main Menu > Network. Note down the IP address of the recorder.

    4. On the computer, open Internet Explorer and enter the IP address of the recorder.
    5. If the computer is able to see the recorder, you will see a login page. Enter the recorders username and password.
