In this article, I will guide you how to install, initialize connection and add Dahua IP Camera to Dahua video recorder. This is a basic installation guide when installing a new Camera system.
Sample device implemented in the guide:
- Camera: IPC-HDBW2841R-ZS
- Video recorder: NVR4116HS-4KS3
- POE Switch: PFS3006-4ET-36
- Software used: ConfigTool V5.000
In this tutorial I use a POE Switch, so just run the network cable directly from the Switch to the Camera, the Switch will provide its own power and Internet signal.
If you use a regular Internet Switch (Non-POE), you need to attach an additional power source to the Camera.
1. Installation & connection
First, install the hard drive into the video recorder as instructed below:

Next connect the network cable for the Camera to the POE Switch as shown below. When using POE, you do not need to supply separate power to the camera.
