Using 3rd party cameras on a built in PoE
When using 3rd party cameras on a Uniview Built in PoE NVR the camera will have to be pre-addressed to work with the gateway of the built in switch (193.168.0.1 or 172.16..0.1). Once the camera is pre-addressed under the Cameras menu switch the channel from Plug-and-Play to manual, then add the camera with the protocol Onvif, and put in the IP address that the camera has been pre-addressed to. The recorder asks for the HTTP port and the RTSP port make sure that these are on hand when adding the camera.
