How to Use an NVR Security Camera System to Avoid Configuring IP Cameras?

If you want to make IP camera configuration even easier, you can skip the IP camera setup altogether by using an NVR security camera system instead.

The configuration of DVR/NVR camera surveillance is slightly different.

The good news is that if you only want the cameras to record and save footage on the network video recorder (NVR), you won’t need to perform an IP camera configuration with NVR.

This is because once the NVR and the cameras connected to it are powered up, they will automatically create a private network. Within this subnet, cameras and the NVR can communicate with each other without any need to connect to a router or perform IP camera configuration.

For instance, the ZOSI W4 Pro can save you the hassle of configuring your IP camera NVR and offer you 24/7 protection. Check out the NVR CCTV camera setup in this diagram:

  • AI Human Detection
  • Light & Siren Alarm
  • Mesh Wi-Fi
  • 2 Way Audio

However, if you require remote viewing, such as accessing the cameras on your phone or receiving push notifications, you will still need to add the cameras to the surveillance software with the help of a router. (Don’t forget that P2P technology can simplify the CCTV camera system configuration.)
