This is optional however, please note, adding an IP camera to the DVR, will conflict with AI
features. The number of IP cameras added to the DVR will be dependent on how many channels

DVR. To connect an IP camera to your DVR, please follow the steps provided below:
1. Click on the Camera option located in the Management section of the Main Menu.
2. Click on Channel Type and select the IP channels from the IP column of the list.
3. Click on Apply. A prompt will appear, click OK and allow the DVR to reset.
4. Navigate back to the Camera menu and click on Camera List.

Motion Detection & Recording Setup
This section will cover how to set up your DVR's scheduled recordings for both regular and
motion detection recordings. It will also cover how to set up email alerts with snapshots.
Note: The DVR can only be set up to save regular and motion detection recordings if a hard
drive has already been installed. However, email alerts with snapshots can still work
without a hard drive installed.
A hard drive is included with every DVR 'kit' purchased. You can confirm this by looking at the
packaging. If bought as a standalone DVR, a hard drive will need to be purchased separately.
The following setup processes will be shown using the DVR console's built-in interface. However,
these same steps can also be done through the web interface on a computer. Despite the
difference in appearance, the settings pages have the exact same organizational structure.
