How To View A Uniview NVR Via EZView App

This guide will show how to view a Uniview NVR on the mobile app EZView.
You will need a network connection for this setup.

Step 1. Connect The NVR To Your Network

First, you will need to connect the NVR to your network. Taking a cat5e/cat6 cable from the LAN port on the NVR, then the other end will go to your router or network switch.

Step 2. Log Into The NVR and Enable EZCloud

We will be going through this process via the web interface on internet explorer from a local PC.
From the Live View of the NVR, Go to Setup -> Network -> EZCloud
Make sure It is set to ON and “Add without Signup” is ON, unless if you would like to have added security, switch it to OFF.

Step 3. Download The EZView App

Step 4. Add the NVR

First, open the app, then click the 3 Horizontal Line icon in the top left corner

Click on Devices

Select Add

Choose Scan

Then Scan the QR Code from the web interface of the NVR

Enter a Nickname for your NVR and click Start Live View

Then you will see a Device list With your NVR, Click on it for a Pop up to appear, and select “Start Live View”

Then You will have a Live View of any cameras connected to the NVR!

EZCloud Displaying Offline

When setting up Remote Viewing, You may get a Success Message after scanning the QR code. However, the NVR can show as Offline on the EZView App afterwards.

On the NVR web Interface, you may get this Message:

**Network disconnected. Please check network settings such as DNS server address and port mapping. **

Here are a few tips to fix this issue:

– Make sure that the recorder is networked locally correctly.
– Wired Directly from the LAN port of the NVR to your router or network switch.

– Place the recorder on DHCP

– After Enabling DHCP, click on Save.
