Renaming Cameras - How to Change The Name of a Camera

Applies to Recorders Updated 2 min read

How to change camera settings:

There are several ways to achieve this result, and depending on which equipment you're working with, the methods might slightly differ. 

(Please Note: If you're using a 3rd-party camera, and not an IC Realtime camera, the NVR will more than likely not be able to assign a name to the camera.) 


NVR 4.0 UI

If you're working with the new 4.0 UI directly on the recorder or through the recorder's web UI, you will want to navigate in this order:

  1. Left click on Advanced Settings.

    - There is a possibility you may not see this option depending on what firmware you are running, if you do not, check instead for Video Stream or Encode, and then, the Overlay/OSD settings.

NVR 3.0 UI

If you're working with the new 3.0 UI directly on the recorder or through the recorder's web UI, you will want to navigate in this order:

  1. Left click on Image.
