Please note: You will need to download an IP Tool (EZTools) to expedite configuration of the external POE cameras.
To access the web client, please use a Windows based PC and use Internet Explorer as the web browser.
Access the recorder’s web interface by typing in the IP address on the address bar of Internet Explorer. The path should look like the following: “http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx” (Note: If the HTTP port has been changed from default, you will need to add the port number after the ip address by inserting a colon “:” in between the address and port number).
Install all requested web plugins that are prompted by Internet Explorer. Once installed, you may need to refresh, or restart the web browser. You may install the plugin by selecting “Run”. In some instances, you may need to close the web browser to complete the installation. After installation completes, please re-open Internet Explorer.
After logging in, select the “Setup” option.
On the Setup page, select Camera on the left hand side menu.
On the main camera page, you will need to manually select each channel individually, then select Modify. This will allow the channel highlighted to be switched from Plug and Play, to IP address.
Please Note: The camera IP address must be changed to match the corresponding internal IP address per channel. This is also only necessary if the POE ports on the back of the NVR are not being used. If all camera channels on the back of the POE recorder are occupied, please see additional instructions further below.
After selecting a camera and clicking on the Modify button, change the add mode from plug and play to IP Address.
After switching the Add Mode to IP Address, change the IP address to one of the camera’s IP addresses.
Default information for a Uniview camera:
Username: admin
Password: 123456
Second option is to use the auto search function on the main camera page. After navigating to the camera page, select the “Auto Search” button.
After selecting Auto Search, a pop-up window will show all of the cameras that were found within the network. Mark each checkbox with cameras that will be added to the system.
Note: These cameras will add at the end of the POE cameras unless manually changed and manually added.
