olsenblane 0 Posted May 23, 2015 Do I need a special NVR if I want to add a wireless camera? I haven't purchase the NVR yet, but I was looking at Hikvision NVR. Apart from the POE cameras I will install, how do I get a wireless camera to the NVR? I know it's probably a stupid question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcam 0 Posted May 23, 2015 Nope , not a stupid question ... Your nvr connects with a network cable to your wireless router and your wireless camera connects to the wireless router . You first have to connect the camera to the router with a cable and after the camera is set up, it can connect wireless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boogieman 1 Posted May 23, 2015 Awesome. Thanks! Dont assume that you can connect any camera to any NVR, wireless or not... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NicNails 0 Posted July 29, 2018 hi, I have 4 different brands of wireless/wired ip cams, two of them I csnt set there ip address to static, so when ever power goes off, things change anmd I need to set it up again.... I was told an nvr would work as I assign the nvr a static ip address and then anything that changes, the nvr will; sort it out, so I assume that would mean they must get plugged direct into the nvr…. when I plug into router all work, when I plug intpo nvr, none work.... also my nvr lan cable to router lan, the green and yellow light dont come on at all, please advise.... thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
