Add a Camera to an NVR
To connect over PoE/Network, connect one end of the network cable to one of the eight provided ports on the back of the NVR. Up to eight cameras can be connected using PoE. The NVR will automatically add any 4000 Series SecureCom camera that is connected to one of the eight PoE ports. When using PoE, no power cable is needed.
For more information about connecting specific cameras to the SecureCom NVR, refer to the appropriate Video Installation Guide.
Note: Cameras that are connected to an NVR must be assigned a static IP address or have a DHCP reservation configured. When managing 5000 Series cameras with both the V-4408D NVR and Dealer Admin, cameras must be connected to the NVR through a switch.
