NVR:
Connect camera to NVR, the NVR will auto adjust to camera IP, don’t need modify camera IP.
ONVIF NVR (Third-party brand)
1) Camera connect to NVR that have POE Ports, the camera IP Network Segment must be same as
the NVR Port’s. (e.g.: Hikvison NVR Port’s IP Network Segment is 192.168.254.XX, so the camera IP
must be 192.168.254.XX.)
DH-OEMFactory
