Binding IP Cameras to Any Channel

By default, when setting up IP Cameras, the device will always assign the Digital IP Cameras
automatically to channels 5. This is because channels 1 to 4 are usually reserved for Analog and Analog
HD cameras.
However, in some installations, you might not have 4 Analog/Analog HD cameras installed. Analog
channels which do not have cameras attached would be disabled in the settings, and would be displayed
as just black in the live view screens.
These unused channels can be reassigned to a digital IP Camera instead, thus enabling you to view
video from all cameras sequentially.
To do this, follow the steps in the previous Section 7.1 to set up the IP Camera, but when choosing the
binding channels, make sure to select the desired lower channels 1, 2, 3 or 4
After that, go to the Record settings under the Surveillance tab in the Setup menu as follows:
