For NVR models such as X5S-4P/X5S-8P, if your wired POE cameras cannot be connected, please follow the steps below:

If all the cameras failed to link to X5S-4P/X5S-8P:

Please check to make sure the power supply is sufficient for your NVR. If yes but still not working, please try the below methods and see whether these might help:

1. Please ensure the firmware of your system is updated to the latest by going to the Menu > Maintenance > Upgrade.

2. Unplug and plug in the power adaptor again, after that, click the Shutdown button then choose the Reboot button to reboot your system.

3. You may also try to reset the NVR box.

If only some of the cameras failed to link to X5S-4P/X5S-8P, to further troubleshoot, swap the functional power cable as well as port for that camera and see whether the camera will work.

-If working, it means the issue might be with the cable or the port.

-If not working, the issue might be with the camera itself.

For NVR models such as X5C, X5S-4W, X5S-8W, X5S-16L2, and X5S-16H, if your cameras cannot be linked in the Camera Management page on the monitor (Right Click > Menu > Camera > Camera), please follow the steps below:

If the cameras are connected to the router directly:

1. ensure the camera you tried to connect to is under the same LAN as the NVR.

2. ensure the camera is close to the NVR and there is no barrier such as a wall between them when connecting.

If the cameras are connected to the NVR’s Wi-Fi:

If prompted for a password during adding, please kindly note that the password would be the verification code that you could find on the white sticker of the NVR box.

If prompted for an encryption password when viewing a camera, please kindly note that the password would either be the login password you created for the NVR during the initial setup (if your cameras are set up by adding to NVR directly) or the verification code you could find on the white sticker of each camera you have (if your cameras are set up via EZVIZ app).

To reset the admin password, you may reset the NVR box by pressing the reset button (the password would be defaulted to the original device verification code on the label) or follow the below steps:
