PoE ports:
You do not need to search for IP cameras connected to PoE ports as they are
automatically recognized when plugged in. However, they are only recognized if their
password is the same as that of the recorder or is 1234. If their password is different,
follow the instructions below to add the IP camera.
To add an IP camera with a different password to the recorder or which is not
1234:
1. Connect the IP camera to a network and set the camera’s IP address to
192.168.254.x (where “x” is between 1 and 254).
Note
: The camera’s IP address must be in the same subnet as the internal NIC IPv4
address of the recorder (under
Network Settings
). The recorder’s default NIC IPv4
address is 192.168.254.1. However, you can use another IP address, if desired.
2. Plug the IP camera into the PoE port of the recorder.
The Plug and Play function cannot detect the camera as the passwords are
different. It cannot detect the IP address given to the camera.
