Pair a Replacement / Add-On Camera
6.
If you have purchased additional add-on cameras or replaced one of your cameras, you
will need to pair those cameras to the Wi-Fi NVR. The Wi-Fi NVR has an independent
built-in Wi-Fi network for secure, uninterrupted video transmission and recording.
Pairing the new cameras to the Wi-Fi NVR allows them to transmit video and function as
intended.
NOTE: When pairing a Night Owl add-on camera, refer to "Add-on cameras Quick
To pair a replacement camera to your Wi-Fi NVR, please use the below steps:
1. Power on the replacement camera using the camera power adapter.
NOTE: This should be done locally at the Wi-Fi NVR to avoid interference.
NOTE: The location of the camera reset button may vary.
2. With the Wi-Fi NVR connected to a TV/Monitor, right click on your mouse and navigate to
the Main Menu using the options bar.
3.
A. Go to the Camera Menu and Select the Add Camera tab on the left side of the menu.
B. The top portion of the screen will list cameras that have been found but not yet paired.
C. The bottom portion of the screen will show all cameras that are currently paired to the
Wi-Fi NVR.

Questions and answers
I have model WNIP-2LTA-BS-U stand alone camera. I previously had this device in use for my garage. we had to change routers and now have different password. I **** not able to get the camera connected
To connect the Night Owl WNIP-2LTA-BS-U camera to a new router with a different password, you need to bypass its default pairing with the NightOwl NVR. Follow these steps:
1. Configure a wireless access point (AP) with the same SSID and password (PSK) that the camera was originally paired with.
2. Set up a new VLAN on your router or firewall with the same IP range that was used by the original NVR.
3. Assign this VLAN to the AP to simulate the original NVR environment.
4. Add routing rules in your firewall so that your LAN can access the camera network.
5. The cameras will connect to the new AP using the same credentials and be accessible as standalone ONVIF-compatible cameras.
This setup removes the cameras from NightOwl's control and allows use with third-party NVRs like BlueIris or VLC.
