- www.Viewtron.com - Watch this video to learn how to connect an IP camera to a BNC DVR. A hybrid Viewtron security camera DVR and a 4mp network IP camera are used to demonstrate.
Viewtron 4K hybrid DVRs support the following security camera types: analog CCTV (CVBS), HD-TVI, AHD, HD-CVI, and network IP. Video resolution up to 4K is supported for BNC cameras and IP cameras. Users can mix and match any type of camera in any resolution.
BNC cameras are hard wired to the DVR using RG59 Siamese coax cable. IP cameras must be on the same network as the DVR so that the DVR can connect to them. This is done by connecting the IP cameras and DVR to the same network switch or router.
A unique feature of Viewtron BNC DVRs is the ability to designate a BNC port for an IP camera. This is demonstrated in the video demo using the DVRs simple to use interface and controlling it with the USB mouse that is included.
These DVRs are the best solution for customers that have older analog CCTV cameras and want to upgrade to 4K BNC or 4K IP cameras. They are also the best solution for customers that need to mix BNC and IP cameras on the same DVR.
Support for IP cameras opens up many possibilities for hybrid camera applications. Here are a few.
~ License plate capture systems for gated community
~ Wireless elevator camera systems
~ Wireless camera systems for multiple buildings, detected garage, barns, etc.
~ Upgrading from low definition BNC cameras to HD security cameras (BNC or IP)
CCTV Camera Pros supplies these DVRs and designs complete video surveillance systems for home, business, and government. We ship all of our products worldwide.

Brilliant clear information best one on You Tube.
Glad it was helpful!
man though I was in trouble but this video was easy to understand and now I’m getting some 24/7 color cameras to hook up to my system
Glad you found it helpful.
We currently have 8 old style BNC cameras over coax transmission. After spending Thousands of dollars in labor, and burrying cable, we now need to upgrade to HD.
Its very simple I did it too but did the work myself just get a new 4 in 1hybrid 4k dvr so you can use existing rg59 coax now you can get hd up to 4k over coax no need to change to poe or use cat 5 wire. The hd looks great.
@@BIGMAN503NYC Awesome ! Thank you so much. How can I control the PTZ feature on the HDPTZ cameras? I currently have a joy stick with Pelco-D to control the cameras on the coax system.
hi..many thanks for sharing this informative video. i have a cctv system similar to your video..my question is can i add 3 more ip cameras to the poe switch? and can i connect my bnc camera using poe to bnc adaptot..will they work? again many thanks
Could you please tell me whether it would be a must to use a network switch or you can simply connect the IP camera as well as the dvr to the router directly ?
Yes. you can use a network router or switch. However, if your camera uses PoE, you most likely want to use a PoE switch. I am not familiar with any routers that support PoE.
@@cctvcamerapros thank you for for swift reply. I purchased a POE switch however, even though the Dvr as well as the ip cameras are connected and visible, when trying to search by ip, nothing shows up which is so frustrating. The DVR is a Sansco and after looking at the spec, it shows that it supports ip cameras. Quite confused..don't know what else I can do.
@@KnowledgeNestTV the process to add IP cameras to an DVR is quite similar in concept, but each DVRs menus system will be slightly different. You can see how it is done on Viewtron security camera DVRs here. Maybe this will help you. www.cctvcamerapros.com/connect-IP-camera-DVR-s/1510.htm
Great Information !!
Glad it was helpful!
That pic at 1:20 is really helpful but did not understand how to implement that to my problem of using 2switches sir
Can I connect an ip camera to my 4 in 1 hybrid dvr with ip cam option, using my existing coax with adapter? I only have coax going to cameras its already in conduit pipe
Hi Armando, Thank you for your question. In order to connect IP cameras to a BNC hybrid DVR, you must use network cable such as CAT5 or CAT6. I am sorry that coax cable will not work for network IP cameras.
This may be my solution to use a auto tracking 30xzoom camera on my 8ch hikvision 4 in 1 dvr it also has the option for up to 4 ip cameras because I bought a 30x zoom 4 in 1 camera the seller said it has auto tracking feature but I don't see it so I may return it and just get an auto tracking 30 x zoom ptz ip camera and just add it to dvr like you did here
Hi i am installing a besder ip camera to a juan hybrid dvr it sees the ip address when connecting it says status connect failed i would like to know what am i wrongly doing. I connected my dvr to internet and my ip camera to a switch and the switch connected to the same network as the dvr . I dont know what is wrong may be an ip conflict or port conflict can u help me
Could you use some adapter from Amazon or something that you plug the Ethernet into and also the coax cable to dvr and power cable? Sorry if that doesn’t make sense
I am sorry that this is not possible with our DVRs. However, our IP camera NVRs have built-in PoE ports. www.cctvcamerapros.com/IP-Camera-NVRs-s/1472.htm
Thank you
i do have hikvision 8 channel dvr. i have installed 8 analog camersa and now i want to add 2 ip cameras . will it work if i follow the same procedure as you do?
The ability to add IP cameras to a CCTV BNC DVR is specifically supported by Viewtron hybrid security camera DVRs. This is a feature specifically supported by Viewtron hybrid BNC / IP camera DVRs. www.cctvcamerapros.com/Security-Camera-DVRs-s/1467.htm
this can be done in all types of DVR or certain types

Hi, i have a question, i have a new analog Dvr (bnc connectors in the back means analog?) ., connecting the camera to dvr With baluns that have full RJ45 connectors for video and power , WOULD making a test connecting with a **CrossOver** Erthnet cable *accidentally* for a minute or two, would it damage any equipment ?? , the baluns at either end ? , the Dvr ? , the camera ? ., you know, doing that is crossing video and power in the loop. Please help ! Thanks !!
RG, this is an interesting question. We have never tested using a crossover network cable with CCTV video baluns. I suspect that it will not work quite as well because of how the pairs that are used for power are doubled up. I tend to think that keeping the twisted pairs would be best. That being said, it would seem that a cat5 or cat6 wired via EAI standard Ethernet / TIA-568B would also not be the most ideal and that just straight pair wiring would be the best. I do not think that a crossover cable would damage anything, but I do not think that it is the most ideal either. I recommend that you avoid it.
@@cctvcamerapros Thank you very much for replying and info, what happened is that the installler ran cat 5e., then when i was going to test the wires, i put the dvr on a desk, not its final location, and used a coupler as an extension to connect the installed run to dvr with what i thought was a regular straight through cable (it turned out to be a crossover cable/orange) just to test the installed cable(permanent wire from cam to dvr), and it was not working, the yellow light on the balun turned on, no video, so i got concerned and disconnected it, [way later after testing a couple of times -i decided to really take a close look to the wire (the extension wire the orange one) and turned out to be a crossover cable i bought years ago (never used) to interconnect computers], then i retest with another and it worked. What i mean is that the 'extension'/(the orange cable that was supposed to be a normal erthnet cable and turned out to be a crossover) i used to test , made the balun ambar light to light up and no video, also turned another video feed off when i retested it after putting a regular cable in another set, thats when i really realized the cable had something wrong -> turned out to be it was a crossover ! , bottom line, crossover does not work, but regular cable works !, ** my concern is, if anything might have got damaged ?? ** with the tests with that crossover cable used by mistake ., appears no , and also by why you say , but wanted to be sure, any additional comments ? Thanks
@@Batman-nf4nn that all makes sense. I doubt that any damage was done to the equipment. Thank you for sharing this experience. I am sure it will help others out. 👍
Is there anyway to connect an Ip camera directly to an HDMI monitor. Or simplest way like maybe just a converter in between or something.
Unlike BNC cameras that can use a simple BNC to HDMI converter, the same does not really exist for IP cameras. Normally you need to use an NVR or video server.
So I have BNC cameras (Does the brand matter?).. Is there a benefit to trying to upgrade them to an IP system?
Hi Patrick. All BNC security camera brands work with our Viewtron DVRs.
www.cctvcamerapros.com/Security-Camera-DVRs-s/1467.htm
And now that RG59 coax can be used for BNC cameras up to 4K resolution, there is *usually* no need to switch from coax cameras to IP cameras.
www.cctvcamerapros.com/4K-Security-Cameras-s/1455.htm
I say usually because the latest Viewtron IP cameras support some amazing artificial intelligence functions that BNC cameras can not do. Person detection, car detection, face detection, facial recognition, license plate recognition, etc.
www.cctvcamerapros.com/AI-security-cameras-s/1512.htm
And, in order to take advantage of the AI software of these AI security cameras, you must also use a Viewtron NVR for IP cameras. The hybrid DVR does not have the AI software.
www.cctvcamerapros.com/IP-Camera-NVRs-s/1472.htm
So, unless you must have these AI features, we typically recommend that customers with existing coax cable in place, just upgrade to HD cameras and an HD DVR. The Viewtron DVRs support analog CCTV cameras too, so the upgrade to HD cameras can always be done over time.
Did you leave the ip cameras on DHCP or Static ip? What happens if the ip on the camera gets changed by the router/network?
By default, Viewtron IP cameras are set to DHCP. CCTV Camera Pros recommends reserving the assigned IP address on your router so that it will never change. Or you can set the IP to static on the IP camera.
would it be possible to hook up snake cameras to a dvr cctv system? Thanks!
Yes, any style surveillance camera is supported by the Viewtron DVRs. They support analog CCTV (CVBS) format, as well as AHD, HD-TVI, and HD-CVI video formats up to 4K resolution. There are certainly many snake cameras available that are either CVBS or HD over coax format. If you have a questions about a specific model, please let me know. You can email us at info@cctvcamerapros.net
@@cctvcamerapros awesome, I will, Thanks!
We a a DVR and 8 IP camera s, we use 2 dlink switch , and now we want to make it online for remote live watching, how to make it online sir, please respond and tell me what to do, your video is the only one I found useful for my problem and that's why I asked you sir
Please help sir please 🙏
I have an 8 channel PVR with 8 BNC cameras connected, displayed in 8 segments on my TV but it says I can add 2 IP cameras, if I add these extra IP cameras, will they show up on my TV along with the existing cameras or will I have to disable 2 BNC cameras in order for them to display?
It depends on the DVR. Our 8ch Viewtron BNC camera supports 8 IP cameras in addition to the 8 BNC cameras. www.cctvcamerapros.com/security-camera-DVR-p/vt-dvr-8.htm
I have a 16 channel Hikvision Hybrid, I want to add additional 10 more cameras, Do I use a 16 channel switch and add them so I can have a total of 30 cameras? I'm a bit slow.. lol Thanks
No. You would add an additional DVR.
i have a camera or a ptz . with a bnc plug on it . is there a way i can hook up to a nvr with poe plug ?
David,
Unfortunately not. You can not connect a BNC camera to the PoE input on an NVR or network switch.
Hi I have 4 IP camera what tape model DVR must I buy cameras is different makes
It depends. What is the make and model of your IP cameras?
I just found out that Insteon company went out of business about a month ago, and I am left out with four wireless Wi-Fi cameras Device 46, and a hub box p/n#2245-222. I hate to throw these units away. Can I use these Insteon cameras on any wireless NVR/DVR? Is that possible? Please let me know.
Hi Anthony. We do not have any NVRs with built-in WIFI. Can these cameras connect to a wireless access point instead of directly to an NVR? Do you know if they are ONVIF compliant? If yes to both, then you may be able to use our Viewtron NVRs. www.cctvcamerapros.com/IP-Camera-NVRs-s/1472.htm
Please email us for additional help at info@cctvcamerapros.net.
I have a dvr connected to the router that is connected to my computer can i connect the IP camera to that or do i need to connect the camera and dvr to a poe switch then to the router?
Yes. you may connect your IP camera to that router. However, if your IP camera has PoE and you want to use it, you need to use a PoE switch or injector. www.cctvcamerapros.com/PoE-for-IP-Camera-s/522.htm
@@cctvcamerapros I have no idea if it has a POE all i know is it has a network cable end and a power end if i have to use a POE switch then the dvr has to go to that then where does the POE switch plug into the router and how does the injector work?
dose the vewtron support PTz ip cameras
Yes. All Viewtron DVRs and NVRs support PTZ cameras.
Question if I have Rg59 cable installed how do I connect an IP camera to Rg59?
Hi Mario. CCTV Camera Pros has not had any good experience with any IP camera over coax solutions. We usually recommend that customers use the old RG59 cable as a draw string to pull new CAT6 network cable if they want to install IP cameras.
Does it starts recording after adding the ip cam
Yes. Our Viewtron hybrid CCTV DVRs can record BNC security cameras and network IP cameras. www.cctvcamerapros.com/Security-Camera-DVRs-s/1467.htm
i got DVR with 4 bnc cameras. i connected the ethernet connection to a switch, which connect to 3 ip cameras, in the DVR i can vew only one. my Q what i need to do to see all of them?
i tried to change the ip adress and nothing. do the one Ethernet connection in the DVR lmted my view to one camera?
Thank you for your question. Here are a few things to confirm. 1) Make sure that your DVR supports both BNC cameras and network IP cameras. 2) Most likely the DVR will ONLY support ONVIF compliant IP cameras. ONVIF is an IP camera software standard that manufacturers use to ensure compatibility.
I highly recommend our Viewtron hybrid security camera DVRs. www.cctvcamerapros.com/Security-Camera-DVRs-s/1467.htm
Specific questions for you who have more practical knowledge about SWIFI-CAM cameras:
How can I unlink a Swann SWIFI-CAM Wire-Free Wireless camera from the account it was created with?
I do not remember the user with whom I created the account and I cannot access to unlink it, please if there is another option to unlink it, let me know
I am sorry that CCTV Camera Pros does not supply Swann cameras, so we do not know the answer to this.
How about smart wifi camera alone ( without NVR) connect to dvr...
Yes. You can use a wireless security camera like this one.
www.cctvcamerapros.com/wireless-IP-camera-p/ip-c2.htm
The DVR / NVR must be connected to the same network as the wireless access point.
How many ip camera can be connected?
It depends on the Viewtron DVR model. Please see below:
4 Channel DVR = 4ch BNC + 2 IP
8 Channel DVR = 8ch BNC + 8 IP
16 Channel DVR = 16ch BNC + 8 IP
32 Channel DVR = 32ch BNC + 8 IP
However, you can also designate any of the BNC channels for IP. For example, you could put 3 BNC cameras + 3 IP cameras on the 4 channel DVR. Or you can put 6 BNC cameras and 10 IP cameras on the 8 channel DVR.
