How to connect laptop to nvr as a monitor

Recommended Posts

Hi.

 

We need to change the settings on our nvr as our broadband router has changed. We don't have a monitor connected to the nvr, so we want to use our laptop as the screen.

 

We have connected the laptop to the nvr via hdmi, but we can't view the nvr. I think there is something quite simple that we must have missed.

 

Any ideas? Please!

Search for NVR over your network with laptop ..... Enter NVR IP into laptop and you will connect.

 

Then do your port forwarding for access for wan
