When using a recorder with inbuilt PoE ports, the cameras that are connected will automatically get assigned an IP address from the recorder. If you are installing multiple cameras that will be connected to an external PoE switch, the cameras will need to initialised, the quickest way of doing so is by following method 1 below and initialising cameras in a bulk lot.Īccessing Cameras that are directly connected to an NVR Any recorder built before this date will need to have cameras initialised manually using a PC / Laptop before they can be used. On recorders released after January 2018 this process can be performed through the recorder user interface - On recorders with inbuilt PoE ports this process happens automatically and the current recorder 'admin' password is copied to the cameras.

This process was introduced to enhance security by removing the default 'admin' password, instead adding a method for the installer to create this password themselves during installation. When configuring a new IP camera for the first time (or after a factory reset), an initialisation process must be performed before the camera can be used.
