Camera Password Groups

Overview

When an IP camera is added to a NVR, the server uses the manufacturer’s default username and

password to communicate with the camera. Administrators can change the default security

information, however, when this is changed the NVR can no longer communicate with the camera

using the default settings.

If you change the password for a camera or a number of cameras, usually through direct web

terfaces, you need to create a Password Group for those cameras and assign it the same

password. Use the Passwords feature to define the password group that is to be used by the NVR

to communicate with a group of cameras.

Note

1 The Password feature does not change the password on the camera. It determines what

password is used by the NVR to communicate with cameras.

2 You must change the password on the camera before you change the password for the

password group using the Passwords feature, otherwise those cameras will not be able to

connect to the NVR.

Create a Password Group

If a password has been changed for a camera or a group of cameras, the NVR is no longer able to

communicate with the camera(s). You must create a password group containing the new password

and assign the camera(s) with this password to it.
