Connecting camera via PoE
NVR10020P and NVR10030P have integrated PoE ports via which ABUS network
cameras can be connected directly. (See compatibility list).
Please connect the individual cameras to the PoE ports one-by-one and wait until the
status of the relevant camera is “ONLINE” and an image is displayed.
Important:
Automatically adding cameras via a PoE port only works if the camera is inactive and
set to factory settings. The NVR activates the camera automatically with the default
IP camera password. If the camera has already been activated, the correct password
must be entered in the NVR afterwards.
The cameras are automatically assigned a fixed IP address by the NVR.
The web interfaces of the cameras connected to the PoE port can also be opened via
the web interface of the NVR. (Configuration / System / Camera management).
You will find the configuration options for the integrated PoE ports under “Camera” /
“PoE settings” on the device.
Use default
password for
the camera
Use default password
(assigned during initial setup in the setup wizard)
Use default
port

Check
certificate
The certificate is a form of identification for the camera that enables
more reliable camera authentication. When using this function, the
IP camera certificate must firstly be imported into the NVR (see
network settings).
