If you've been thinking about buying an IP camera system and want to know that because of the configuration difficulty of ip-based systems, you'll need to watch the video we made. Every week we get a lot of calls asking how difficult it is to set up a security camera system using a PoE camera and bnC camera. Some customers even think they need IT staff to keep the system up and running. Well, thanks to advances in technology and a lot of improvements in coding, connecting PoE IP cameras to PoE NVR is a plug-and-play task. Be careful!
To set up any of our PoE IP camera systems, you need the following devices:
PoE-enabled IP camera
Network Video Recorder (NVR)
CAT5e or CAT6 network cabling
Computer monitor or TV
This is a video guide on how to set up IP camera systems or PoE camera systems when using our cameras and NVRs, which can benefit from plug-and-play design.
It is important to note that the Ethernet power supply (PoE) camera receives power by sending data on the same cable, so there is only one cable from the NVR to the camera. In fact, if you use a camera with these features, the same cable can send a Pan Tilt zoom control and audio. You can learn more about the differences between various security camera types by watching a video guide on how to select a security camera or by reading our comprehensive security camera purchase guide.
If you can't watch the video above because it's blocked by your company's firewall, here's a step-by-step guide to how to connect to the PoE camera system.

If you can't watch the video above because it's blocked by your company's firewall, here's a step-by-step guide to how to connect to the PoE camera system.
- After removing the PoE NVR package from the box, insert the supplied power adapter into the back of the NVR unit. Do not connect to wall power outlets or surge protectors
- Connect nVR to the monitor using a VGA or HDMI connection
- Make sure your display supports 1280x1024 video resolution, as this is the default setting on NVR
- Plug a USB mouse into one of the open USB ports on the NVR
- Plug the other end of the power adapter into the surge protector
- If the NVR has a power button, turn it on or it will automatically turn on
- Plug a CAT5e cable into the router
- Insert the other end into the LAN port of the NVR on the back
- When both ends are inserted into the correct port, the light next to the LAN port flashes. If there is no light, no data is sent from the router to the NVR, and you should check the network cable to make sure it is plugged in correctly. If you're netting yourself, you'll need to use a cable continuity test to ensure proper crimping
- After determining the location of the PoE security camera, use a network cable from the NVR to each camera location
- Plug one end into the camera's network jack
- Plug the other end of the cable into the PoE port on the back of the NVR
- The camera will start itself and connect to the NVR, and you have completed the setup of the IP camera system.
Troubleshooting
If the camera does not display video at this time, double-check all cables:
- NVR's power cord is plugged in and the surge protector is on
- Make sure the VGA or HDMI video cable is plugged in and not loose on the monitor or NVR
- The camera's Ethernet cable is plugged into the correct port, i.e. the PoE port that is grouped together
- THE LAN ETHERNET CABLE IS PLUGGED IN AND THE LIGHT IS FLASHING
