  • Once you are ready to select your cameras you can click the box on the left hand side and then click add

• If you add the cameras and they show the status above or red status  you can check the live view to verify the problem and troubleshoot accordingly
• Once you've properly troubleshooted you should see feed a green status 
• While adding cameras you can change the channel by selecting advanced and selecting the channel you want a specific camera.
