Need some assistance in setting up an IP Camera System.

Recommended Posts

Looking for some assistance or if someone can point me in the right direction on configuring and setting up an IP camera system. This week, i will be installing one camera(starting with), running into a DVR in my office then connected to my wireless router. I can handle the install, the problem is configuring the whole system. Looking to view this on the internet, my Android device, my wife's Iphone. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thank much.

Hi , to start with check if your DVR can take IP cameras - most new DVR allow limited IP cameras to be connected. Preferably get the same brand IP camera or if not the same brand ensure that both the DVR/NVR and Camera are ONVIF compatible. Use a IP sniffer or software supplied with the Cam to change the IP and connect the cam to a switch which in turn connects to network port on the DVR/NVR. Search for the IP cam on the DVR/NVR and add it to the table.
