Description

This article covers NetAssist setup with an N52B3P NVR running on 4.0 Firmware.
There are two ways to setup NetAssist or any other POS with our NVRs.

1. TCP : Will only require the IP address from NetAssist or POS system (NVR will do the handshake and automatically retrieve the port)
2. UDP : Will require the IP address and the port number.

Prerequisites

  • NetAssist
  • PC to run NetAssist
  • NVR with POS Support
NVR5 series and NVR6A08 support POS with stock firmware

Step by Step Instructions
