2.3 ADDING AND REMOVING CAMERAS IN YOUR SYSTEM

LOCAL CAMERAS

Once you have connected your cameras, you will need to add them to your system's
display. For cameras connecting to one of Q-See's QC-Series NVRs, they will automatically
appear on-screen shortly after being plugged in. Cameras will be assigned to the first
available channel by the NVR in this case, regardless of which port in the block that they
were connected to. These cameras can only be removed from your display by physically
disconnecting the cameras from the NVR.

CAMERAS ON THE SAME NETWORK

Cameras sharing the network with the NVR will not automatically connect. There are three
ways to connect them on a QC-Series NVR. The first two methods are by either using the
Add Camera icon in the Live View window, or right-clicking within it. The third method uses
the Remote Device window located in the Main Menu.
Add Camera
Moving the cursor to the center of any empty
channel will reveal the Add Camera icon
shown in Picture 2-6. Clicking on this will
open a window listing available cameras.
Clicking on IP Search will refresh this list.
Simply click on the desired camera from the
list and it will become the camera for that
channel. Please note that it is possible to load
a camera which is already in use by another
channel. In which case, you will have two
identical channels.

QC NVR REMOTE DEVICE MENU

Use of remote IP cameras connected to a network - whether local or remote - requires
your NVR to be connected to a router. It also requires that the cameras are connected to a
router as well - even if it isn't the same one as the NVR. If you intend to connect to devices
that are located outside of your local network, then this router must be able to access the
Internet. Instructions for connecting your system to the Internet are presented in the Remote
Monitoring Guide that also came on the CD with your system. It is also available from our
online resource at www.Q-See.com/Support.
Similarly, the remote devices must be able to communicate with the local network or Internet.
This will be covered in Section 2.4. You will need to follow the instructions in that chapter in
order to obtain an IP address for any cameras that will be accessed over the Internet. Once
you have connected your cameras to a router you can connect to them using the Remote
Device window.
This window can be reached by clicking on
the Remote Device icon in the Main menu...
...or through the Shortcut menu by right-
clicking on the screen and selecting Remote
Device.
