Adding Multi-Sensor cameras to an NVR
Description
Dahua has several multi-sensor cameras which provide more than one image through the same IP. This has the benefit of limiting hardware requirements for installations while still providing the same or potentially more coverage depending on the model of camera and configuration. In this article we will cover how to add the additional channels to the NVR and what to avoid in the process to prevent issues.
Getting Started
To get the process started, you will need to have gone through the initialization set-up of the NVR. Make sure the system is powered on and has a local monitor and mouse connected for easy configuration; have your camera mounted with cable run to the NVR or on hand with the NVR and a patch cable to connect it to the system. In this case the camera being used is the HDBW4231F-E2-M
Step by Step
1. After the NVR has been initialized, connect the camera to a port on the embedded POE switch of the NVR.
2. Once the camera is connected the first video stream should appear automatically on the channel related to the port to which it was connected.
3. To connect the remaining stream from the camera, choose "Manual Add" and enter the IP and login information for the camera.
4. Under "Channel No." set the value to 2 and click "Setting"
5. Under settings you will see a list of "channels" from the camera; deselect D1 as this will be the channel that was added automatically. Hit OK to save channel options and in the "Manual Add" screen hit OK to add the channel.
6. You should now see all video streams from the camera.
Notes
Ideally you should avoid using the port that the additional channel is mapped to. If a camera is connected to the port of the mapped channel you will receive a prompt after reboots asking if you would like to replace the channel with the device attached to the port.
