steps. Device ID# 255 is the default universal device identification number shared by the NVRs. You may also
pair an IR Remote to a specific NVR by changing the Device ID#, as follows:
Pairing (Enabling) the IR Remote to a Specific DVR (optional)
You can pair an IR Remote to a specific DVR by creating a user-defined Device ID#. This feature is useful when
using multiple IR Remotes and DVRs.
On the DVR:
1. Go to General > More Settings.
2. Type a number (255 digits maximum) into the Device No. field.
3. On the IR Remote:
4. Press the DEV button.
