Question:

How do I add multiple analog cameras to a NVR using an encoder?

Answer:

After connecting the analog cameras to your decoder, confirm that it has network connectivity using the SADP tool and activate the device if not activated yet. Log into the decoder using the IP address and a web browser. Confirm the cameras are showing. Then move to the NVR and add the encoder as though it was a standard IP camera. For every additional camera that is to be added use the same IP address but change the channel number to correspond with the channel of camera on the decoder.
