The video recorder searches for the camera IP address and adds it to show why the video is lost.

Possible reasons are as follows:

1. You added multiple cameras without changing the IP of the camera, causing an IP conflict. Because the default IPs of cameras are all the same when shipped from the factory, after you add multiple cameras, you must first change the IPs before you can see the images. Otherwise, if multiple cameras have the same IP, they will conflict.

2. The user and password of the camera are incorrect. After adding a camera, you need to fill in the username and password to log in to the camera. If it is incorrect, the image will not appear.

3. The added camera is not in the list currently displayed on the recorder. You need to switch the screen on the recorder to display it. Example: For example, the current video recorder settings only display images from 4 cameras, 1, 2, 3, and 4, but the fifth camera is added.
