Reolink NVRs allows you to create or change the login password for the cameras. This article will show you how.
Applies to: All Reolink NVRs (new UI)
Step 1. Log in to the NVR on a monitor, then go to Settings > Camera and select the channel (camera) that you want to configure.
Step 2. Under Users, click the Eye icon to check the camera's login password. Note that you will have to enter the NVR's login password to verify your identity first.
Step 3. If you want to change the camera's login password, click Change Password. Verify your identity by entering the NVR's login password first. Create a new password for the camera, confirm the password and click Next.
Done! Now the camera is secured with a login password.
Notes:
-
When a camera and NVR are on the same local network (not necessarily directly connected), and the Auto Add function on the NVR is enabled, a brand new camera powered on will be immediately detected by the NVR and assigned a random password.
-
If a customer needs to replace the NVR separately and connect the old camera to the new NVR, he will need to input the password previously assigned by the old NVR. If unable to retrieve the password, there are only two methods:
-
Reconnect the old camera to the old NVR to find the password, then input it into the new NVR to add the camera.
-
If no longer in possession of the old NVR, the only option is to hard reset the camera.
