Camera already has a password (activated):
The recorder automatically detects the camera and checks its password to see if it is
the same as that of the recorder or if it is 1234. If it is either, then the camera is
successfully added to the recorder.
If the camera password is not the same as that of the recorder, nor 1234, it will be
added to the recorder but will appear as offline. You can then change the camera
password in the Camera Setup menu.
New camera without a password (not yet activated):
The recorder detects the camera and pushes its admin login and password to the
camera.
