Camera to NVR connection instructions
2.1 Connecting to a Qvis Cortex NVR
2.1.1 Direct Connection
The Qvis Cortex NVR has a plug and play camera setup as one of its key
features. Connect the camera to one of the POE ports on the rear of the
NVR and the device will automatically find the camera, display the live video
feed from the camera, and also add it to the connected camera list.
Automatic detection by the NVR will only work if the camera has had its
DHCP function enabled (see Chapter 5.4.2 Lan Setting).
2.1.2 Connection over LAN network (with DHCP server)
If you are connecting the camera to a network that has a DHCP server,
and it is connected to the LAN port on the NVR via an external PoE switch,
then please follow these steps to search for the cameras connected to the
network:
These instructions need to be followed only if you are connecting the
camera to the NVR over a network that has a CPD server apart of it.
