Adding to Amcrest NVR/DVR
Most Amcrest Smart Home devices, excluding Smart Home battery cameras, can connect to both an
Amcrest DVR and Amcrest NVR. This is possible by obtaining the IP address of your device from your
network and adding it directly into your DVR or NVR. The DVR or NVR must be connected to the
same network as the Amcrest Smart Home device for this to work.
The device you are adding must be added to the Amcrest Smart Home app first before adding it to
your device.
Adding to An Amcrest NVR
Log into your Amcrest NVR and
click on Camera. Then, click on
Device Search to locate the IP
address for your device that
should be connected to the
same network as your NVR.
A list of all connected devices
will appear. Select the device
from the list by clicking on the
checkbox next to the device.
Click Add to add the device into
the Added Devices menu.
The status of the device should
be green indicating the device
has been successfully added. If
it is red, click on Modify and
ensure the password for the
device is correct. When it has
been added, the device will be
ready to view on your NVR.
