I can locally access the NVR

Step 1. Please log in to the NVR on Reolink Client on the local network (LAN), go to Device Settings -> Network Advanced, and make sure UID Enable is selected.

Step 2. Please check whether your router has access to the Internet.

Connect your phone or PC to the WiFi or LAN port of the same router that the NVR is connected to and see if you can visit any websites, such as google.com. If you can, please report this situation to Reolink Support and mention what you’ve tried & what the results are.

I can’t locally access the NVR

Step 1. Check the connection between the NVR & the router and make sure the Ethernet cable is working properly and plugged in tightly.

Step 2. Check the LAN port indicator (LED) on the router and the NVR, and see whether they are all ON and flickering. If not, try to use another Ethernet cable or plug the cable to other ports of the router and the NVR.

Step 3. If the port indicators are still off, please log in to the NVR with a monitor attached, go to Menu -> Network -> General, take a picture of this interface.

Step 4. Go to Menu -> System -> Maintenance, and restore the NVR settings (all settings).

If the problem persists after the NVR is rebooted, report this situation to our support team, mention what you’ve tried & what the results are, and attach the picture you’ve taken in Step 3.
