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.
