To use the cameras with a non-WD, ONVIF-conformant system or NVR, follow the steps below.
1. Download and install the WDRVTool on a Windows PC (not supported on macOS) (link:
https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/28866) or go to support.wdc.com
and search “28866”.
2. All settings on your camera applicable to your system must be changed while connected
through a PoE switch before connecting the camera to a non-WD, ONVIF-conformant NVR.
Note that your PoE switch needs to be connected to your router. Connect the WD ReadyView
camera to your PoE switch.
3. Open the WDRVTool from your PC or laptop. If no IP address appears, click Refresh in the
