How To Connect Wireless IP Camera To NVR?

Technology has come a long way in recent years, especially when it comes to home security. Thanks to wireless IP cameras, installing a home surveillance system doesn't need to be difficult at all. This is great for both new and experienced DIY-ers alike since you can get a complete package without even paying for a single strand of wire. The only thing that gives this technology a bad name is the fact that some of the cheaper models (which are likely unfamiliar to most) might have issues working with DVRs. Below is an answer to "How to Connect Wireless IP Camera to DVR?".

IP cameras and NVR (Network Video Recorder) systems are becoming more popular in homes and businesses. This camera provides clear image quality and allows remote viewing without needing cable connections. However, many people have experienced difficulties connecting wireless IP cameras to NVRs.

Connecting Wireless IP Camera to NVR

1. First, check the password of both the wireless IP camera and the NVR. If the passwords are different, then set the same password and proceed.
2. Join the wireless IP camera, the PC, and the NVR applying a network cable. Switch on the devices and sign in to the web of the IP Camera.
3. Select the “Configuration” section from the top and pick the “Advanced Settings” option. Open the “Wi-Fi” tab and locate the network name of the NVR beneath the “SSID” section.
4. Access the NVR and put the password. Then, select “Save” to close the section. It will connect the IP camera to the NVR wirelessly.
   
5. Access the “System Maintenance” menu and pick the “System Info” option. Expand the “Wi-Fi” tab. Here, you can check the device list that has a connection with the NVR.
   
6. After that, if the password of NVR and the IP camera is the same, NVR will automatically link to the IP camera. You can disconnect the network cable of the camera. When the wired IP network is not present, NVR will connect the wireless IP camera. The signal strength will display at the live view interface.

Connecting Wireless IP Camera to PoE NVR

1. For the Power over Ethernet (PoE) NVR, you have to set up the IP camera first. Connect the antenna and the wireless IP camera with the access point. Then, join a network cable to it.
2. Join the other side of the cable with the PoE port of the power injector. Then, join the wireless IP camera with the power injectors LAN port.
3. Attach the power cord of the PoE power injector and the camera’s power supply to two 110V AC outlets. After that, the access point will turn on.
4. The NVR, which has a connection with the access point, will use the network connection at the PoE side. Use a network cable and join the LAN of the access point to the NVR. You may link it with the network port or the PoE port at the back of the NVR.
5. Again, join the power cord of the access point and the NVR to two 110V AC sockets. Attach a monitor and mouse to the NVR. If every connection is correct and the wireless IP camera should show up on the NVR automatically.
6. Open the “Camera” menu of the NVR, sign into the NVR, and access the “Registration” option. You can view the IP camera and its IP address here. It will also show a green signal indicating that it is active.
7. If the wireless IP camera is not there, pick the “Device Search” option. It will find the device and add it.
8. If it can’t find the device, go for the “Manual Add” option. Put the relevant information of the wireless IP camera such as TCP, IP address, username, password, etc., and click on“Connect.” After connecting, select the “Apply” option and then “OK” to close the configuration.
