How Do I Set My Remote Control to Control a Different NVR?

To use the included remote controller, each recorder needs a unique Unit ID number that corresponds with a Remote Control number. By default your recorder and remote controller are both set to ID 1. You can change the ID number of the NVR and Remote controller so that a specific controller only controls a specific NVR.

To assign a unique Unit ID on the recorder:

1. Right-click the Live screen and click Menu.
2. Click System.
3. Select Basic/Advanced Setup Mode and click Advanced.
4. Click Remote Control ID.
5. Select an ID number (1~10).

To set the number on the Remote Controller:

Press DVR SELECT on the remote controller and enter the corresponding Remote Control ID number at the same time to operate the recorder.
