2. Adjusting the Camera Order for Cameras Connected to Reolink NVR/Home Hub

Reolink NVR

Method 1: Adjust the camera order through the channel list in the Reolink App. This change will only take effect on the app, refer to: How to Configure Channel List for Reolink NVRs via Reolink App.

Method 2: Arrange camera order via the connected monitor to the NVR with HDMI/VGA cable. This adjustment will take effect on all Reolink software. Refer to: How to Arrange the Display Order of Cameras on Reolink NVR (New UI).

Notes:

1. When the doorbell camera is connected to the NVR, it is by default displayed as channel 1 in the Reolink App, with no option to change it. This is because the doorbell is installed at the front door, which is considered a crucial surveillance area.

2. The channel order of the cameras on the NVR does not correspond directly to the network ports they are connected to, the channels are assigned randomly.

Reolink Home Hub
