How to Use Milesight PoE NVR For the PoE ports, each port has a fixed number like the above picture showing. They can be directly used to connect to the Milesight cameras.

1. LAN Port and PoE Ports

Intuitively, there is one LAN port and four PoE ports in the MS-N1009-UPT.

For the LAN port, the default IP address is 192.168.5.200. You can set the local IP for the NVR via Smart Tools which you can download from the official website of Milesight. And you can log-in the NVR to manage it via web by using the IP address .

For the PoE ports, each port has a fixed number like the above picture showing. They can be directly used to connect to the Milesight cameras.

2.How to use PoE ports

For MS-N1004-UPC, the default IP address of the 4 PoE channels are 192.168.20.xx. When you activate a NVR, the NVR password will also be used to activate the PoE channels.

when you put the IP camera into the PoE port,

• 1) It can plug and play as long as its password is same with the NVR.

For example: NVR: 192.168.7.150Password: ms111111

IPC1: 192.168.7.151Password: ms111111

Plug in and refresh.

You will find that the IP address has been changed into 192.168.20.xx. And it shows .

1) When the password of the IP camera is not same with the NVR, we can make it connected through editing the exact password of the IP camera.

For example:NVR: 192.168.7.150Password: ms111111

IPC2: 192.168.7.152Password: ms123456

                    Plug in and refresh.

The password of the IP camera is not the same as the channel, so status will be shown as .

There are two ways to edit password to make the IP camera connected:

l One way:

Choose the  IP camera, and then click on “Edit Authentication”.

After clicking on the button, it will pop up a window as follows. Then input the exact password “ms123456” and click on “OK”.

• The other way:

Click on the button “Edit”.

After clicking on the button, it will pop up a window as follows. Then input the exact password “123456” and click on “OK”.

After saving the password, the status will be shown as  by clicking on the button “Refresh”.

3) If the IP camera has ever been connected into the random PoE port , even if its IP address changes after being pulled out , as long as the password dose not change, you can plug in random PoE port without verifying password anymore.

On the contrary, you need to verify the password if you changed the password of the IP camera.

For example:IPC1 :192.168.20.2password: ms111111

Previously it connected in Port1.

Pull out the IPC1 and edit the IP address into 192.168.7.151, but don’t change the password.

Now put it into Port3. Just refresh, then you will find that it has been connected in Port3 without verifying password and the IP address has been changed into 192.168.20.xx.

Note:

If you have done the right steps, but you find that the state is “Disconnected”. Please keep clicking on the “Refresh” till “Connected” comes out.

3. How to configure IP camera connected via PoE

For the network cameras connected with PoE NVR via PoE ports, you can not view or configure them on web directly because the IP network segments of IP camera and your PC are different. There are two ways to solve this issue.

One way:

1) Connect PC to one of the PoE ports of PoE NVR using a network cable;

Then you can view and configure both PoE NVR and IP camera directly on web using corresponding IP address.

• The other way:

1) Enable the “ Channel Access” in Setting and saving.

Note: This setting is disabled by default.

2) Click on the “IE” button.

3) After clicking on the button, it will pop up a window as follows.

4) Input the user name and password,Then you can view and configure IP camera directly on web.
