- cctvcamerapros.com/wirelessDVR - This video explains how to connect a CCTV DVR to a wireless router.
Sometimes customers install CCTV camera DVRs in locations that do not have a hard-wired network connection. For example, maybe you ran all of your RG59 or CAT5 cable for your security cameras back to a closet where your DVR will be located, but you had no way to run a network cable from your wireless router to that location.
Most CCTV DVRs and network recorders for IP cameras only have a wired Ethernet port (no built-in WIFI).
If you want to view your security cameras remotely over the Internet, you need to connect your DVR to your router.
What can you do?
You can use a wireless bridge to connect any DVR that has an Ethernet port to a wireless router. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Hello I have 4 POE (RJ45) cameras and bought this box with 1 network connection, I added a router for the box cameras and internet connections but i cannot see the cameras, any suggestions
Short, sweet, and to the point. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Can you use the wifi repeater LAN port to connect the LAN of the cctv dvr?
thanks sir !
sir i want connect winpossee dvr with my mobile
sir how can i connect my dvr with mobile online
and which setup is of winposssee dvr in mobile ?
Hi. Is there a way to go if my LAN port on the dvr is not working
this is a refresher! thanks for posting 😊
Can you connect directly to isp modem ? Or do you require a router to connect the isp modem and use the router to connect the dvr?
if the dvr does not have connections points to connect the ptz camera to it, what is the next option to connect it to the wifi with a cable??
What is the app use to view the viedeo from the dvr?
Great video. I appreciate the downside explanation at the end.
Can i connect camera to the wi fi modem?
This answered my question PERFECTLY. Thank you.
Is this only use ful for live streaming
Thank you very much. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful!
Would have been great if you could show the settings to connect these.
Thanks for this video. It explains a lot pros and cons! Great!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for previous answer.
Other question if you could point me to Video or link how can I configure 2 DVRs for one camera?
For example we have first and second floor and we would like that one camera would be visible on both security points at the same time. Like two TVs showing same TV channel.
Thank you.
Use a video splitter. Send video from one Monitor to another. Some use HDMI and some new Tv splitters are wireless
You can send the video signal from one security camera to multiple DVRs or monitors using one of these video splitters. www.cctvcamerapros.com/BNC-Amp-CCTV-Splitter-s/419.htm
you don't need 2 dvr for one camera all you need ia a tv splinter so you can see the same camera on 2 or 3 tvs if you like
Great video. I would like to ask... can you get internet connectivity to the DVR from a coaxial outlet which is currently available where I am trying to connect to, with a coaxial to WLAN/Ethernet adapter cable?
If you Internet provider can install a modem that is connected to that coax outlet, then yes. I would suggest also using a router if there is not one built into the modem.
@@cctvcamerapros I'm having issues , two of the cameras is showing same locations , what do I ???
Hi , i'm using a wirlesss security system with 8 cams
and i want to extend the dvr signal using many TP-Link repeaters
is that possible ?
Did you find out the answer
Amazing idea, Thank you.
If we go with cable from DVR to the Wireless access point (if it's possible), will it work better?
Thank you for keeping it to the point
Thank you for watching!
Is any DVR make hikvion is available with wi-fi connectivity instead connectivity through the lane.
Yes, you can apply the wireless network setup from this video to HikVision DVRs.
Does the bridge need power both ends or does one end take power from DVR box, as l have my DVR in loft?
The wireless bridge requires power on both ends.
Very professional performance, without any interruption. I like that👏👏👏 and subscribe
Glad you liked it!
Help! trying to set up via tplink 840 and it is not forwarding my dvr- none of my cameras and I can even see the local address., but I can see the nest cams- no system. Will you help me set this up via tplink
We now offer this port forwarding service. We guarantee to get it working for you or you pay nothing. www.cctvcamerapros.com/Remote-Camera-Monitoring-s/285.htm
Great job...
Please i would be glad if a training video can be done on how to connect a solar wifi camera to a long distance router. How to use radio linking the solar wifi camera ti the router for internet facility. Thanks
Agreed, this would be good, in great detail please...
@@trwoody1 exactly
Wondering if you could use a Xfinity pod and have it act as the bridge. They have Ethernet ports on the new version so if anyone knows please tell me
You need to check if the Xfinity pod has a bridge mode and AP mode.
On My previous dvr which broke i was able to view by connecting it to the wall ethernet port, on my new one it doesnt go online so i assume im gonna need to go this bridge route? Or should it worked if my previous one did? Thanks
If your DVR does not have an Ethernet port, it is unlikely that you will be able to access remotely. Unless if has built-in WIFI. Are you sure there is no network connection / RJ-45?
@@cctvcamerapros no yeah it has an ethernet port but i never had to plug it into a router on my last dvr but maybe this one is different? Because it says its offline
Since you have Internet router with LAN port, why do you need wireless bridge and then connect again LAN to DVR? I have a boat with no wired LAN internet router but I like to watch my CCTV cameras, so I used 4G router with 4 LAN ports and this is the case that we need whereas it's impossible to get land line support for router since it is all water around.
Anyway, thanks for your upload.
he has a DVR so far away from the TV and internet router coverage, so he needs a high gain bridge to get internet from the distance router, in your own case you have your dvr and tv close together and there is no distance barrier to overcome.
Would it be possible to use a 100 foot cat7 ethernet cable that I saw on eBay to run across the yard out to the garage from the house? Or would that not work/ withstand the weather? Perhaps encased in an all-weather conduit? Is that too far to run a solid internet cable to your router from the DVR?
Myles, yes. CCTV Camera Pros ONLY recommends wireless as a last resort option. A hard wired connection is always our preference. In your situation, you should look into direct burial type cable if you are putting in the ground.
CCTV Camera Pros thank you. The only other option I can think of is a powerline ethernet adapter that runs ethernet through your power lines. What are your thoughts on that set up? I don't want to waste a lot of money on products that will not work.
Myles, we have tested power line adapters over the years and similar to wireless, we only recommend as a last resort. If you want the most reliable network connection, there is nothing like hard wired Ethernet. The good news is that powerline adapters are cheap. So if you already have the garage on the same circuit as the house, it may be worth a try.
CCTV Camera Pros thank you very much sir.
Following this! I need to do this and no way to dig trench where needed. Can we run cable from roof line into garage? Thx!
After connecting the camera to the modem or router with cat 5 cable how do you see it on a pc?
Most IP cameras, DVRs and NVRs include remote camera monitoring software. For example, our Viewtron equipment uses this NVMS software (network video management). www.cctvcamerapros.com/Mac-Security-Camera-Software-s/1475.htm
It works with Viewtron IP cameras, DVRs and NVRs.
Hybrid security camera DVRs (BNC + IP).

I'm having trouble linking my dvr to my router, iv connected the dvr to my router via Ethernet wire but can't seem to figure out how to view my cameras. Please Help.. 😭
Hi Mr Jack. Sorry to hear that you are having trouble. You can find the network and port forwarding setup instructions for iDVR-PRO surveillance DVRs on this page. www.cctvcamerapros.com/960H-H264-DVR-Network-Setup-s/839.htm
CCTV Camera Pros how to install
Hello, does DVR support encryption? So if it will be stolen, then sensitive data wont be exposed.
The DVR requires a login to access the content. The control panel gives you access to manage users and roles. Unfortunately, the videos on the DVR are not encrypted.

I'm so confused. How do I set up the blue wire for the modem? I need to put the camera on my second floor out of the front window and I don't know how to do that if I don't have a wire in the front room
The blue line is not a wire. That is the wireless connection.
Clear information thanks, I guess I need to run wires all over the house 🥺🙄
I've got a lorex 4k ultra hd dvr can I bridge that?
Did you get this to work?
How to connect with a wired repeater
Or use a davillo plug socket to route it over the mains
I have dvr at the moment wired direct to the router at home , its my home setup, I just mentioned BNC wiring to let you know im not interested in wireless cameras....I know how all that works, connecting to router with Ethernet wire...!!!!
Problem I want is to connect a DVR that has built in wifi system.... a system you connect to a wireless wifi router enter the wifi password and your connected, preferably to connect to a mobile phone data internet tethering or some dongle.
Cant find anything like what im looking for so I thought it be a good idea to get some info from the professionals.
This was perfect. I literally have no questions 💥
Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you
A powerline would work better. Just need a plugin next to your DVR.

Perfect, thanks
excuse me when I try connect to my phone and then it failed to connect. so what should I do?
You most likely need to setup port forwarding correctly. Please take a look at this page and contact the vendor that you purchased your DVR from and ask them what ports you need to open for remote access. www.cctvcamerapros.com/port-forwarding-s/130.htm
Kon Fish throw it into the water
for anothing good from that video ,its not clear try to bring clear direction
Great video why the dislikes?
only left ear sound
because there were ZERO details given as to the connection setup between the Bridge and the router (and then to a phone!
would be nice)
Because he blew by explaining how you get video to phone. Seems like an app would be needed.
Thx u for the video .....people use ethernet over power period
In goods faith.
Only left audio channel working
What did we learn here?
A theory lesson
Now I understand why security cameras must be hard wired. Is it because being wireless doesn't stream well (video frame rate seems to jerk a little), right? But what about those 4K wireless cameras that send the video to the recorder wirelessly and also send the signal to computers via wireless modem to view the video on monitor and other tablets, phones, etc.? Isn't there any problem with that? ATM I have security cameras hard wired to a recorder but the video is low quality and quite rubbish because the system used h264 video format that is poor image even at 10 meters you cannot recognize a person. But before I buy a new 4K system, I need to make sure I will not make the same mistake where video quality is shit, as you said, wireless stream speed is slow.
Hi Mick. Thank you for watching. Wireless is always a last resort option when running cable is not possible. You are always better off hard wiring video equipment if you can. The reliability is so much better.
@@cctvcamerapros
Thanks. Happy New Year, you and family.
Well this explains why I can’t find an option to connect to a wireless network point. Thanks, time to bust out a super long Ethernet cord
You are welcome!
@@cctvcamerapros awesome! Cameras are all up and running.
So I plug a router into my dvr
How does my WiFi router pick it up?
You plug the DVR into a wireless access point. The wireless access point connects to your WIFI router.
@@cctvcamerapros automatically? I don't have to login to my router and change anything?
And what app do you use on your phone?
Thanks for making me think my earphones were broken for the first 40 seconds
there is no how to ..... as the caption
My left ear only
Where is the HOW TO????
This man just wasted My MB.. There was no "HOW TO"..
Great video. You have to really be obnoxiously dense to not understand this. That or they thought the title was somewhat misleading.
You’ve explained absolutely nothing about how to connect them. Don’t waste people’s time!!
wish I could hear it - volume is too low for me to understand what he is saying.
It’s just your phone, I’m on iPhone XR and I hear it loud and clear
Well it's not my phone as I'm watching on my desktop and all other YT videos are coming in loud & clear. Could be something in my PC setup..
You explained NOTHING.
Ken, I am sorry that you were disappointed. Please let me know what questions you were looking to have answered so that we can do a better job on a revised version. We are listening.
Actually... this was exactly the information I was looking for. What I would really like to do is use my laptop (connected to WiFi) as a bridge. Do you know if that’s possible?
@@Kettenhund75 it may be possible. Can you let us know on more detail what you are trying to do? Do you mean use your laptop as a transmitter or receiver? What device(s) are you looking to connect to the laptop to provide the bridge to? The more details the better.
@@cctvcamerapros Hoping you will explain how port forward, I guess that would be another video. I think Ken was looking for the same thing as I did.
@@skeets9837 Thank you for the feedback. We agree that would be helpful. Hopefully we get the time to make a new version of this video. In the meantime, here is another that explains "What is Port Forwarding?". th-cam.com/video/-K6jMYBfuIY/w-d-xo.html
we need technical explaination not some bulshit historical talk
He needs to explain what his video solves.
Ahmed, I am sorry that you were disappointed. Please let me know what questions you were looking to have answered so that we can do a better job on a revised version. We are listening.
@@cctvcamerapros Does it work with all DVR models? Also can I buy any wifi router bridge and it will work? I will have wifi in my DVR!
@@JaberAmeer Yes. It should work with any DVR that has a network interface. Yes. Any WIFI bridge should work.
LOL
Swann products are the worst with respect to configuring the system. Do not waste your time with swann
Bakwasss
03:10 minutes of my life i wont get back! No help whatsoever this.
Sorry about that. If you let me know what you were looking for, we may be able to make another video to cover it.
Useless.
What garbage! you explained NOTHING!!
Thank you for the feedback.
