2. Log in to the NVR using the default username and password, which are usually admin for both.

Step 2: Go to the Camera Settings

4. Set the camera's recording schedule and other recording settings.

Step 4: Assign the Camera to a Channel

1. Select the channel number where you want to assign the new camera. The channel number should be available and not already occupied by another camera.
2. Click "OK" to assign the camera to the selected channel.

Step 5: Save the Changes

1. Click "Save" to save the changes to the new camera settings.
2. The new camera should now be added to the NVR and visible in the live view.
