Click “Edit Security Question” button in the login window and then enter the corresponding answer of the selected question in the popup window, the password of admin will be reset to 123456 by default. If you forget the answer of the question, this way will be invalid, please contact your dealer for help.
b. The passwords of other users can be reset by the super administrator admin, please refer to 10.1.2 Edit User for details.

Q5. The NVR will not hold the maximum number of IP cameras?

Take the 16 CH NVR as an example. Some 16 CH NVR support a maximum of 120Mbps bandwidth input. Refer to the picture below. The remaining bandwidth should be larger than the bandwidth of the IP camera you want to add, or it would fail to add the IP camera. You should lower the added cameras' bitrate to release the bandwidth. It is recommended to add cameras by "Quickly Add" for batch adding.

Q6. The IP camera which connects to the PoE port of the NVR cannot be displayed automatically in the camera list, why?

a. Please check whether the resource of the PoE port is occupied by another IP camera that is added through network.
- Take the 16 CH NVR with 8 PoE ports as an example. The resource distribution of the 16 CH IP cameras is shown in the picture below.

CH1

POE-3

POE-4

POE-5

POE-6

POE-7

POE-8

When you add IP cameras through network, the IP cameras will occupy the resource from CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4... by the adding sequence; if you directly connect the IP cameras to the PoE ports of the NVR, the IP cameras will occupy the resource from CH9 to CH16 according to the number of the PoE port each IP camera is connecting to.

Supposing that 12 CH IP cameras have been added to the NVR through network and no IP camera has been directly connected to the PoE port. The 12 CH IP cameras occupy the 8 network resources from CH1 to CH8 and 4 PoE resources from CH9 to CH12 which are supposed to be occupied by connecting the IP cameras directly. In this situation, if you directly connect one IP camera to PoE5, PoE6, PoE7 or PoE8, the IP camera will be displayed in the camera list automatically; if you connect it to PoE1, PoE2, PoE3 or PoE4, it won't be displayed in the camera list by showing resource conflict; if you just need to connect it to PoE1, PoE2, PoE3 or PoE4, you should first delete the IP camera which occupies the PoE port resource and then reconnect it to the PoE port.

- Take the 8 CH NVR with 8 PoE ports as another example. The resource distribution of the 8 CH IP cameras is shown in the picture below and the adding rules of the IP cameras are similar to the rules mentioned in the above. Please refer to the above for details.

CH1	CH2	CH3	CH4	CH5	CH6	CH7	CH8
POE-1	POE-2	POE-3	POE-4	POE-5	POE-6	POE-7	POE-8

The internal Ethernet port and the IP camera which directly connects to the PoE port through

ONVIF protocol should be in the same network segment, or it will fail to add the IP camera. Log into the IP camera's web client and then enable DHCP (obtain an IP address automatically); or manually change the IP address of the IP camera to make it in the same network segment with the internal Ethernet port.

b. Check whether the number of the added IP camera is the maximum.

If the number of the added IP camera is the maximum, the system will show you the message that the IP camera number is beyond the maximum when you directly connect another IP camera to the available PoE port and thus you will fail to add the IP camera.

Q7. The IP camera which directly connects to the PoE port of the NVR through ONVIF protocol is shown in the camera list, but there is no image output, why?

Please make sure the username and password of the IP camera are correct. The IP camera's username and password can be modified through the two ways mentioned below.

① Click “Edit Camera” in the Camera module of the setup panel to go to the interface as shown below. Click 📋 to modify the username and password of the IP camera (input the correct username and password of the IP camera in the popup window and then click “OK” button).
