IP Camera Registration
Registering cameras on the VIPER NVR can be achieved using 4 different methods. The chosen method is
dependant on the camera make and model, and whether it is connected directly to the NVRs in built PoE switch.
The 4 methods are as follows:
1. Auto Detection
This is the simplest and quickest method, it can be used for all cameras within the Vista VK2 range, or for other
third party manufacturers camera that support “Zero Config”.
This method only works for cameras that are connected directly to the NVRs PoE ports and have ID and
Password of “admin”. This is the default settings for the VK2 range.
2. NVR Search and manual registration
This method can be used for cameras ( Including VK2 range ) that are connected via a switch to the WAN port
on the rear of the NVR, and for cameras that do not support “zero config” but are connected to the in built PoE
switch.
3. Manual adding of ONVIF cameras
This method can be used to try and connect cameras that cannot be connected by either of the 2 previous
methods. Cameras must be Onvif compliant to version S for this method to operate.
4. Manual adding of cameras RTSP streams
This method can be used to try and connect cameras that cannot be connected by any of the 3 previous
methods.
The following sections describe the process for registering camera by each method:
